A complete submission helps editorial screening proceed without delay. Full detail is in the Instructions for Authors.

JNRT publishes Original research, Review, Systematic review and meta-analysis, Case report (including short case series), Short communication, Brief report, Study protocol, Methodology, Perspective, Letter to the Editor and Commentary. Editorials are commissioned by the editors.

  • Your manuscript prepared to the requirements for its article type (abstract, main sections, length, references)
  • A short cover letter
  • Ethics approval and consent statements where applicable, including animal-ethics committee approval (committee name and reference number) for animal research
  • Where applicable, the reporting guideline for your design, such as CONSORT, STROBE, PRISMA, SPIRIT, CARE or ARRIVE
  • Conflict-of-interest and funding declarations
  • Author contributions (CRediT) and a data-availability statement (“Not applicable” where no data were generated or analyzed)
  • Figures and tables in line with the author guidelines

There is no submission or review fee. The article processing charge of USD 2,100 is invoiced after acceptance, and manuscripts that are not accepted incur no APC. See the article processing charge page for details.

Manuscript withdrawal. Authors should contact the editorial office promptly and wait for written confirmation before submitting the work elsewhere. Manuscripts withdrawn within 3 days of submission are not subject to a withdrawal charge. Manuscripts withdrawn more than 3 days after submission incur a withdrawal charge equal to 30% of the journal's APC. For JNRT, 30% of the APC amounts to USD 630. Authors must receive official withdrawal confirmation before submitting the manuscript to another journal.

Editorial screening

Scope and ethics

An editor checks scope, ethics and, where applicable, methodology; suitable papers go to review.

Independent peer review

Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. Manuscripts that proceed to external peer review are normally evaluated by at least two independent subject-matter experts.

Decision and publication

Open access with a DOI

After acceptance the APC is invoiced, and the article is published open access with a permanent DOI.

What we publish

Research areas we welcome

JNRT welcomes basic, clinical, applied, experimental and translational research in neuroscience and neurology, including the areas below. See the full remit in the Aims and Scope.

  • Clinical neurology: stroke and cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, movement disorders and neurodegeneration
  • Neuroimmunology, neuro-oncology and pediatric neurology: multiple sclerosis and other immune-mediated disease, tumors of the nervous system, and childhood neurological disorders
  • Neuroscience and translational research: molecular and cellular neuroscience, neural circuits and electrophysiology
  • Neuroimaging and diagnostics: structural and functional MRI, connectivity analysis, prognostic biomarkers
  • Therapeutics and rehabilitation: neuropharmacology, device therapies and neurosurgical studies
  • Neurotechnology and basic neuroscience: neurotechnology, systems and computational neuroscience, and laboratory and animal-model investigations

Basic and experimental studies are eligible without an immediate clinical application, provided they address a clear neuroscience or neurological question with appropriate scientific methods. Our editorial policies set out the standards every decision follows.

Questions

Submitting to JNRT: FAQ

Is there a submission fee?
No. There is no submission fee and no peer-review fee. The article processing charge is invoiced only after acceptance, and manuscripts that are not accepted incur no APC. Withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy, also set out above.
Which submission route should I use?
ManuscriptZone is the primary route and lets you track your manuscript's status from submission to decision, with direct access to reviewer and editor feedback. The simple manuscript submission form is an alternative for authors who prefer not to create an account, and the editorial office can assist by email. All routes lead to the same editorial assessment and peer review; use only one route for each manuscript.
What do I need to submit?
Your manuscript prepared to the Instructions for Authors for its article type (the abstract, main sections and any reporting guideline differ between formats such as Original research, Review, Study protocol, Case report, Perspective, Letter to the Editor and Commentary), a short cover letter, and the standard declarations: ethics approval and consent where applicable (including animal-ethics committee approval for animal research), conflicts of interest, funding, author contributions (CRediT) and a data-availability statement (“Not applicable” where no data were generated or analyzed).
How long until I get a decision?
Timing depends on reviewer availability and the revisions required; the editorial office keeps authors informed. An editor first screens scope, ethics and methodology; suitable manuscripts then go to independent peer review.
What peer-review model does JNRT use?
Single-blind by default; double-blind review is available on request. In single-blind review, reviewers see the authors’ identities while authors do not see the reviewers’. In double-blind review, identifying details are withheld both ways.
How much is the APC and when is it charged?
The article processing charge is USD 2,100, the same across all article types. It is invoiced after acceptance and before publication; manuscripts that are not accepted incur no APC. Withdrawal after submission is subject to the journal's withdrawal policy. Fee-relief inquiries are considered case by case; contact the editorial office before or at submission. See the APC page for full detail.
Can I track my submission?
Yes. When you submit through ManuscriptZone you can track your manuscript’s status in real time, from submission through review to decision. With any route, the editorial office acknowledges each submission.
Will my case report be considered?
Yes. Case report is one of the accepted article types, and short case series are submitted as case reports. Reports should present a clear clinical message, adequate follow-up and appropriate patient consent for publication.
What happens after my article is accepted?
It is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license with a permanent Crossref DOI and is free to read worldwide. Crossref DOI registration and open metadata support discovery in scholarly search services. You retain copyright.
