Submit your neurology research to JNRT
JNRT is accepting submissions across clinical and translational neurology, on a rolling basis. We aim for a first decision in about three weeks, and accepted papers appear in the next available issue (Volume 4), so the sooner you submit, the sooner you publish.
An established, peer-reviewed open-access journal, not a new or untested venue for your work.
Special issues & focused calls
Alongside year-round submissions, we run focused, time-boxed calls led by a guest editor. None is open right now. Propose one below, or submit to the current volume any time.
Lead a special issue on your topic
Are you an established researcher with a timely theme in neurology or neuroscience? Propose a guest-edited special issue. We provide the platform, fast review and open-access reach. Or submit to the current volume now: the sooner your manuscript arrives, the sooner it publishes.
Neurology topics we publish year-round
Beyond any themed call, we welcome strong clinical and translational neurology research across the areas below. The journal has a particular strength in well-documented case reports.
Epilepsy & seizure disorders
Diagnosis, treatment response and outcomes in the seizure clinic.
Neurodegeneration & movement disorders
Mechanisms, biomarkers and management across degenerative disease.
Stroke & cerebrovascular disease
Acute care, recovery and prevention in cerebrovascular medicine.
Multiple sclerosis & neuro-immunology
Immune-mediated disease of the central and peripheral nervous system.
Neurotrauma & clinical neurophysiology
Injury, electrophysiology and the wiring of the nervous system.
Neurology case reports & case series
Well-documented cases that teach. A particular strength of the journal.
These are examples, not limits. Scope is limited to neurology and neuroscience. See the full aims & scope.
What you can submit
We welcome a full range of study designs and formats.
See the instructions for authors for full detail on each article type, formatting and reporting requirements.
