Post-Conference Journal publication:
The Editors of Physiological Measurement (IF 2012: 1.496) have agreed to dedicate a special issue of the Journal to ESGCO 2014. The best contributions have been selected by a panel of experts for possible publication in Physiological Measurement. These contributions will undergo the normal peer review process of the journal.
The panel for the selection of the best contributions was composed by the following members: Paolo Castiglioni, Ki H Chon, Joseph Randall Moorman, Giandomenico Nollo, Ulrich Parlitz, Alberto Porta, David Simpson, Andreas Voss. Papers were scored according to the following criteria: originality, relevance in the field, impact on future applications, quality of the paper and presentation, quality of the experimental data and design. The results of the selection process are reported in the following list, where the average score is indicated after authors and title of the paper.
