The article focuses on the journal "Collective Phenomena," which provides a means of publication, discussion and speculation on all aspects of collective phenomena, both in physics and in other disciplines where considerations in physical terms may be relevant. The journal will publish full-length, experimental and theoretical specialist papers, and will allow and encourage the exchange of views and comments on published studies and ideas. It also invites more speculative communications from those who wish their ideas to reach a wide international audience.
