Journal Guide

The Journal of Neuroscience Methods publishes papers that describe new methods for neuroscience research conducted in invertebrates or vertebrate model species, or in man. Major methodological improvements or important refinements of established neuroscience methods are also considered for publication. The Journal's Scope includes all aspects of contemporary neuroscience research, including anatomical, behavioural, biochemical, cellular, computational, molecular, invasive and non-invasive imaging, optogenetics, physiological, system and clinical research investigations. The Journal no longer publishes papers that deal exclusively with muscle function, evoked muscle activity, kinematics and eye research. Clinical trials are not considered for publication.

The Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN), the official journal of the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses, contains original articles on advances in neurosurgical and neurological techniques as they affect nursing care, theory and research, as well as commentary on the roles of the neuroscience nurse in the health care team. The journal provides information to nurses and health care professionals working in diverse areas of neuroscience patient care such as multi-specialty and neuroscience intensive care units, general neuroscience units, combination units (neuro/ortho, neuromuscular/rehabilitation, neuropsychiatry, neurogerontology), rehabilitation units, medical-surgical units, pediatric units, emergency and trauma departments, and surgery. The information is applicable to professionals working in clinical, research, administrative, and educational settings.JNN is a membership benefit to all AANN members. For more information, call 888-557-2266.

The Journal of Neuroscience Research publishes novel research results that will advance our understanding of the development, functions and diseases of the nervous system, using molecular, cellular, and systems approaches. JNR features full-length papers, mini-reviews and commentaries. All new manuscripts and correspondence regarding editorial matters should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Jean de Vellis.

Founded in 1944, the AANS’s flagship journal is recognized throughout the world by neurosurgeons and related medical specialists for its authoritative and cutting-edge clinical and laboratory research articles, case reports, technical notes, review articles, and more. JNS is the most referenced journal specific to neurosurgery in publication, according to Clarivate’s Journal Citation Reports™.

This rapid-publication, open-access, online-only journal offers reports of single cases and small case series, with a focus on the lesson that the observation or experience provides to the reader. Journal of Neurosurgery: Case Lessons commenced publication in January 2021.

First published in 1999 as a quarterly supplement to the Journal of Neurosurgery, JNS: Spine quickly grew in volume and frequency, and became an independent monthly journal in 2004. JNS: Spine provides the latest techniques and research findings in the rapidly advancing area of spine surgery.

This journal keeps practitioners abreast of advances in neurosurgical anesthesiology that directly impact on current clinical practice or will affect clinical practice in the future--including new drugs, new equipment, and new procedures. Website: www.jnsa.com.

The Journal of Neurotherapy: Investigations in Neuromodulation, Neurofeedback and Applied Neuroscience provides an integrated, multidisciplinary perspective on clinically relevant research, treatment, and public policy for neuromodulation techniques and applied neuroscience. The Journal reviews important findings in these fields with a focus on electroencephalography (EEG), neurofeedback, quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG), repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with a focus on treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. The Journal of Neurotherapy: Investigations in Neuromodulation, Neurofeedback and Applied Neuroscience provides relevant findings from the diversity of disciplines involved in the study of neuromodulation and applied neuroscience and offers interpretive commentary to clarify this information. The only magazine-sized journal in this area that prints in color, the journal draws from expertise inside and outside of the International Society for Neurofeedback and Research (ISNR) to deliver material which integrates the diverse aspects of the field.

Journal of Neurotrauma publishes peer-reviewed articles on the latest advances in both the clinical and laboratory investigation of traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. Combining insights on both clinical and laboratory studies, the Journal focuses on the basic pathobiology of injury to the central nervous system, while considering preclinical and clinical trials targeted at improving both the early management and long-term care and recovery of traumatically injured patients.
