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.

Submit early, publish sooner
Submissions are open year-round and enter peer review as soon as they arrive. Because JNRT publishes on a rolling basis, accepted articles go into the next available issue (Volume 4), so an earlier submission means an earlier publication date. Pre-submission inquiries are welcome at info@openaccesspub.org.
