Catalog scope notes

Frontiers in Neurology is a multidisciplinary journal that addresses all areas of neurology to better understand, treat, and prevent neurological disorders. It is indexed in PubMed Central (PMC), Scopus, and the DOAJ. Led by Field Chief Editor Prof. Irene Litvan (University of California, San Diego, USA), Frontiers in Neurology welcomes submissions that explore the diagnosis, nature, causes, treatment, and public health aspects of neurological disorders. The journal covers a wide spectrum of basic, translational, and clinical research that help improve patient care, including but not limited to: artificial intelligence in neurology applied neuroimaging autonomic disorders cognitive behavioural neurology dementia and neurodegenerative diseases diagnostic neuropathology endovascular and interventional neurology epilepsy experimental therapeutics headache and neurogenic pain movement disorders multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology neuro-oncology and neurosurgical oncology neuro-ophthalmology neuro-otology neurocritical and neurohospitalist care neuroepidemiology neurogenetics neuroinfectious diseases neurological biomarkers neuromuscular disorders and peripheral neuropathies neurorehabilitation neurotechnology neurotrauma pediatric neurology sleep disorders stroke In particular, the journal welcomes submissions that support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being. Manuscripts that focus solely on surgical techniques are not suitable for publication in this journal. Case Reports are only suitable for submission to our Neuro-Ophthalmology section; please see the section description for more information. Studies that do not provide significant insight into the neurological basis of disease or disorder, or those that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of neurology, diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders are not appropriate for this journal. The journal no longer accepts papers concerning simple bibliometric studies. Authors are still welcome to submit Systematic Reviews using publicly available data, but these must adhere to the PRISMA guidelines and have a conclusion related to neurological research. Studies without this primary focus will be transferred to a more applicable journal.
