Aims and Scope
EMJ Neurology is a free, open-access, peer-reviewed eJournal aiming to elevate the quality of neurology care globally by informing experts on the function and disease of the nervous system to help advance the development of this field.
The journal is published annually, six weeks after the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) Congress, and features highlights from this congress, alongside interviews with experts in the field, reviews of abstracts presented at the congress, as well as in-depth features on congress sessions. Additionally, it covers advances within the clinical and pharmaceutical arenas by publishing sponsored content from congress symposia, which is of high educational value for healthcare professionals. This undergoes rigorous quality control checks by independent experts and the in-house editorial team.
EMJ Neurology also publishes peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, and case reports in the field. In addition, the journal welcomes the submission of features and opinion pieces intended to create a discussion around key topics in the field and broaden readers’ professional interests. The journal is managed by a dedicated editorial team that adheres to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process, maintains high standards of copy editing, and ensures timely publication.
EMJ Neurology endeavours to enhance knowledge, stimulate discussion, and contribute to a better understanding of disorders of the nervous system. Our focus is on research that is relevant to healthcare professionals in this field. We do not publish veterinary science papers or laboratory studies not linked to patient outcomes.
