About Neurology
About Neurology: Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation About Neurology
Neurology is the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Vision: Neurology will be the premier peer-reviewed journal for clinical neurologists.
Mission: Neurology will provide clinical neurologists with outstanding peer-reviewed articles, editorials and reviews to enhance patient care, education, clinical research and professionalism.
As the leading clinical neurology journal worldwide, Neurology is directed to physicians concerned with diseases and conditions of the nervous system. The journal's purpose is to advance the field by presenting new basic and clinical research with emphasis on knowledge that will influence the way neurology is practiced. The journal is at the forefront in disseminating cutting-edge, peer-reviewed information to the neurology community worldwide. Editorial content includes full-length Articles, Clinical/Scientific Notes, Views & Reviews (including Medical Hypothesis papers), Issues of Neurological Practice, Historical Neurology, NeuroImages, Humanities, WriteClick® Editor’s Choice, and position papers from the American Academy of Neurology. Contents appearing solely online include the Resident and Fellow Section, selected NeuroImages, Patient Page, CME Quizzes, Podcasts, and supplementary data (including video) for specific articles. The online version is considered the canonical version of the journal because it includes all content available to the reader.
The Neurology 2016 Impact Factor is 8.320 (2016 Journal Citation Reports® [Clarivate Analytics, 2017]).
Neurology is indexed in MEDLINE/Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Biological Abstracts®, PsycINFO®, Current Contents®, Web of Science®, CrossRef, and Google Scholar. Funded articles are indexed in PMC.
About Neurology: Clinical Practice
Neurology: Clinical Practice is an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Vision: Neurology: Clinical Practice will be the premier peer-reviewed clinical neurology journal, providing information to assist the practicing neurologist in achieving the highest levels of clinical competence, career satisfaction, and patient outcomes.
Mission: Neurology: Clinical Practice will bring practicing neurologists timely, peer-reviewed articles and editorials on topics of clinical import and insightful analyses of practice management and health policy issues.
Neurology: Clinical Practice focuses on the day-to-day needs of practicing neurologists. Regular features include: approaches to the patient with various neurologic conditions; case-based articles on ethical issues; "Five New Things" updates on diseases and disorders; office-based issues and practice management tips; and health policy discussions.
Neurology: Clinical Practice is indexed in Embase, Scopus, CrossRef, Google Scholar, and Emerging Sources Citation Index. Funded articles are indexed in PMC.
About Neurology: Genetics
Neurology: Genetics is an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Vision: Neurology: Genetics will be the premier peer-reviewed journal in the field of neurogenetics.
Mission: Neurology: Genetics will provide neurologists with outstanding original contributions that elucidate the role of genetic and epigenetic variations in diseases and biological traits of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Neurology® Genetics is an online open access journal publishing peer-reviewed reports in the field of neurogenetics. The journal publishes original articles in all areas of neurogenetics including rare and common genetic variations, genotype-phenotype correlations, outlier phenotypes as a result of mutations in known disease genes, and genetic variations with a putative link to diseases. Articles include studies reporting on genetic disease risk, pharmacogenomics, and results of gene-based clinical trials (viral, ASO, etc.). Genetically engineered model systems are not a primary focus of Neurology® Genetics, but studies using model systems for treatment trials, including well-powered studies reporting negative results, are welcome.
Neurology: Genetics is indexed in PMC, Google Scholar, DOAJ, and CrossRef.
About Neurology: Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation
