Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), founded in 1978 by Stevan Harnad and published by Cambridge University Press, is a journal of Open Peer Commentary modeled on the journal Current Anthropology (which was founded in 1959 by the University of Chicago anthrolologist, Sol Tax). BBS is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes "target articles" followed by 10 to 30 or more peer commentaries and the authors' response. The article can be in any area of the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences (psychology, neuroscience, behavioral biology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy) but it must be judged by four or more referees to be of sufficient importance importance and interdisciplinary scope to merit Open Peer Commentary. See BBS inaugural and valedictory editorials.
