In collaboration with *Frontiers in Psychology*, a colleague and I are organizing a Research Topic titled *"Pedagogical Psychology: Beyond the 21st Century"*, hosted by Gretchen Reevy and Stanley Bursten. As host editor, I would like you to consider submitting a manuscript for consideration for publication.
Frontiers, a Swiss open-access publisher, recently partnered with Nature Publishing Group to expand its researcher-driven Open Science platform. Frontiers articles are *rigorously peer-reviewed, can be disseminated freely* and are widely read by your colleagues and by the broader scientific and medical research communities. Over 140 research extensive universities worldwide encourage faculty to publish in open access journals for several reasons, but especially because open access is socially just---anyone in less wealthy countries can view the scholarship. The idea behind a research topic is to create an organized, comprehensive collection of several contributions, as well as a forum for discussion and debate. Contributions can be articles describing original research, methods, hypothesis & theory, opinions, etc. We have created a homepage on the Frontiers website (section "Frontiers in Educational Psychology") where all articles will appear after peer-review and where participants in the topic will be able to hold relevant discussions: http://www.frontiersin.org/Educational_Psychology/researchtopics/Pedagogical_Psychology_Beyond_/1908 . *Frontiers will also compile an e-book, as soon as all contributing articles are published, that can be used in classes, be sent to foundations that fund your research, to journalists and press agencies, or to any number of other organizations.* *As such, a manuscript accepted for publication incurs a publishing fee, which varies depending on the article type. Research Topic manuscripts receive a significant discount on publishing fees. Please take a look at this fee table: **http://www.frontiersin.org/about/PublishingFees*<http://www.frontiersin.org/about/PublishingFees> *Fee waivers or reductions may be possible.* Once published, your articles will remain free to access for all readers, and *will be indexed in PubMed and other academic archives*. As an author in Frontiers, *you retain the copyright to your own papers and figures. *Another benefit of publishing with Frontiers is that *Frontiers makes it a priority to expedite the review and publication process so that accepted articles are published promptly.* I would be delighted if you considered participating in this Research Topic. Should you choose to participate, please submit your manuscript using the following link: http://www.frontiersin.org/submissioninfo or using the homepage link http://www.frontiersin.org/Educational_Psychology/researchtopics/Pedagogical_Psychology_Beyond_/1908 by April 15, 2014.
