About the journal
The European Journal of Neurology covers all areas of clinical and basic research in neurology. Emphasis is placed on major diseases or large clinical and socio-economic importance (dementia, stroke, epilepsy, headache, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders, and infectious diseases). The journal provides a forum for European activity in clinical neuroscience and medical practice and help strengthen the links between research workers and clinicians in Europe and other parts of the world.
In addition to original papers, the journal publishes frequent review and update papers, letters to the editor, book reviews, reports and news. Important articles can be fast-tracked. The journal also publishes the official EFNS taskforce papers, and - in a new development - the journal now includes a CME (Continuing Medical Education) online feature (http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/products/journals/ene/mcqs/).

Instructions to Authors
General information
The European Journal of Neurology publishes papers in neurology and related areas in the following categories:
• Original Articles
• Short Communications
• Reviews
• Letters to the Editor
• Guidelines
• Book Reviews
Original Articles and Reviews should be no more than 4000 words including title page, structured abstract, references, legends and captions. Six figures or tables are permitted. Additional figures may be submitted for publication online only, at the discretion of the editor. This supplementary material must be clearly labelled as "online only" on the title page and in citations throughout the manuscript, and must be placed at the very end of the manuscript. No other material will be considered for online only publication.
Short Communications should be no more than 1500 words including title page, abstract, references, legends and captions. Two tables or figures are permitted.
Letters to the Editor should be no more than 500 words including references. Letters express views about articles published in EJoN or present ideas or findings of scientific interest that do not constitute original research.
Case reports must be submitted as Letters to the Editor with a maximum of 750 words including title page and references and only one figure or table. Acceptance of case reports is very limited, and only reports that make a major clinico-pathological or educational contribution or suggest a significant change of diagnosis or therapy will be accepted.
Letters to the Editor and Book Reviews are published online only.
Guideline articles are prepared by task forces appointed by EFNS and reviewed by the EFNS Scientific Panel. The maximum word count of Guideline articles is 6000 words including title page, abstract, references, legends and captions. All new Guideline articles and selected updates with substantial revision of content are published in the European Journal of Neurology. Due to space constraints, some updates are published on the EFNS website. Readers of EJoN are referred to all Guidelines available on these two publication forums. All Guideline articles should comply with the EFNS requirements (Brainin M, Barnes M, Baron, J-C, et al. Guidance for the preparation of neurological management guidelines by EFNS scientific task forces - revised recommendations 2004, European Journal of Neurology 2004; 11: 577-581).
The Editors-in-Chief can, at their discretion, invite Editorials on timely and important topics. The views expressed in editorials are the authors' personal opinions and do not represent the opinion of the European Journal of Neurology or the EFNS.
Articles on education and other matters of general interest can also be published in the EFNS Newsletter.
Ethical requirements
The journal maintains strict ethical standards. Authors should provide all or part the following information, depending on their research protocol:
1. name of the institutional review board or ethics committee who approved the research protocol (for all studies involving even minimal intervention for research purposes or identifiable patient data)
2. informed consent given by subjects/next-of-kin
3. disclosure of conflict of interest
4. disclosure of sources of funding
5. trial registration
6. co-authors' contribution
7. absence of ghost writing
8. duplicate publication of content
9. reproduction of published material
Note: Information on the first five items should be included in the body of the manuscript.
Editors retain the right to request further information concerning ethical aspects before accepting the manuscript for peer review.
Manuscript preparation
Structure
Provide your manuscripts with a title page, a structured abstract (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions) of up to 250 words, an appropriate Introduction, a Methods/Patients section, Results and Discussion. Letters to the Editor need not be formally structured and do not have an abstract.
Our peer review is not blinded. Each manuscript should have a title page with the following information:
• title of the manuscript
• author's (authors') full name (first name, middle initial, last name) and degree
• full address of the institution(s) where the work was carried out
• telephone, fax and e-mail data of the corresponding author for correspondence, proofs and reprint requests.
• total word count of the manuscript including title page, references, legends and structured abstract
• running title
• up to eight keywords
Text
Express measurements in SI or older conventional units. Except for units of measurement, use standard abbreviations and spell them out on first use. Use generic drug names, but add brand names in parentheses if necessary.
Format your files double-spaced and use automatic word-wrap with no hard returns within paragraphs and no hyphenation. Be consistent about typing, e.g. distinguish between '1' (one) and 'l' (lower-case L) and '0' (zero) and 'O' (capital O), etc.
Type in-line equations as text. Do not use graphics programs or equation editors. Equations are re-keyed by our typesetter.
Tables
Provide each table with a title and, if necessary, a short legend. Identify footnotes (which should be kept to a minimum and written in bold print) by superscripts, a, b, c, etc. Type tables as text, using 'tabs' to align columns. Do not use table editors or graphics software to create tables.
Figures
Submit your figures as EPS, TIFF or PDF files. Use 300 dpi resolution for photographic images and 600 dpi resolution for line art.
After reduction to fit across one or two columns or two-thirds width (80mm, 169mm or 110mm respectively) as required, all lettering in electronic artwork should be clear and easy to read, i.e. no labels should be too large or too small. Do not use tints, unless absolutely necessary. If they are essential to the understanding of the figure, try to make them coarse.
Full details of the submission of artwork are available at http://authorservices.wiley.com/submit_illust.asp?site=1.
The cost of reproducing colour illustrations is normally charged to the authors. Contact the publishers for an estimate of this cost. If there is colour artwork in your manuscript when it is accepted for publication, Wiley-Blackwell will require you to complete and return a colour work agreement form before your paper can be published. This form can be downloaded as a PDF file from http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/SN_Sub2000_F_CoW.pdf.
If you are not able to cover the costs of reproducing colour figures in the printed version of the journal, it is possible to have colour figures reproduced in colour for free in the online version of the article, while they will still appear in black and white in the print version. Only one version of the figure should be supplied in colour, and the figures should be suitable for reproduction in both colour and black and white. Provide two figure legends: one for the B&W figure and another for the colour version. Indicate clearly to which figure the legend refers.
If you are unable to download the colour work agreement form of have other questions about illustrations, please contact the Production Editor at ene@wiley.com for assistance.
References
Use Vancouver referencing. Number references consecutively in the order they appear in the text using Arabic numerals enclosed in square brackets on the line (not superscript). Use [1-4] instead of [1,2,3,4]. References cited only in tables or figures should be numbered in the sequence established by the particular table's/figure's position in the text.
We recommend the use of a tool such as EndNote or Reference Manager for reference management and formatting. EndNote reference styles are available at http://www.endnote.com/support/enstyles.asp. Reference Manager reference styles are available at http://www.refman.com/support/rmstyles.asp.
All references (including those in press) should be listed at the end of the text in the order they are quoted. Abstracts published in peer-reviewed journals may be quoted as references. Unpublished observations, personal communications and abstracts published in conference proceedings should be quoted in parentheses within the text of the manuscript. Information from manuscripts submitted but not yet accepted should be cited in the text as 'unpublished observations'.
Internet sites may be quoted as references by listing them in the normal way in the text (using Arabic numerals) and in the References section. Please include the date accessed in parentheses.
List all authors unless there are more than six, in which case give the first three followed by 'et al.'. Spell out the names of all journals in full and give the first and last numbers in full, not just the first.
Examples:
1. Author AB, Author CD. Title of paper. Journal Title Written out in Full Italics 1999; 12: 123-124.
2. Author AB, Author CD, Author EF, et al. Six or more authors - what's the point? (chapter title). In: Editor GH, Editor IJ, eds. Title of Book. Place: Publisher, 1998: 345-367.
3. Author AB. Book Title, 5th edn. Place: Publisher, 2000.
4. Author(s) of website. http://www.URL.co.uk (accessed 01/01/2005).

Publication
Copyright
All manuscripts submitted to the European Journal of Neurology are accepted on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere. The authors of accepted manuscripts must complete an Exclusive License Form (ELF) to license their paper for publication in the European Journal of Neurology and to license copyright in their paper to the European Federation of Neurological Societies.
Note: An exclusive license form needs to be completed only after the paper has been accepted for publication. A copy of the form can be downloaded here: Exclusive License Form ENE 2009.
When you have completed and signed this form and labelled it with the manuscript reference number, please email it to:
Melody Tan, Production Editor ene@wiley.com
Alternatively, a faxed version can be sent to +65-6511 8288 or the form can be posted to - Wiley Services Singapore Pte Ltd, 600 North Bridge Road, #05-01 Parkview Square, Singapore 188778.
Permissions
Materials copied from other sources must be accompanied by a written statement from both the author and the publisher giving permission to the European Journal of Neurology for reproduction. Obtain permission in writing from at least one author of papers still in press, of unpublished data, and of personal communications. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that permissions are obtained.
Proofs and Reprints
The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to an 'e-proofing' website. You should therefore provide a valid e-mail address for the corresponding author. You can download the proof as a PDF file from this 'e-proofing' website. You will need Acrobat Reader to read the file and make any corrections: further instructions will be sent with the proof.

You should make only the corrections that are absolutely necessary.
Information regarding ordering Offprints will be supplied with the proof e-mail alert. For information regarding Commercial Reprints, please contact Claire Porter (Email: claire.porter@wiley.com).
Manuscripts are accepted for publication on the understanding that exclusive copyright is assigned to the European Federation of Neurological Societies. However, this does not limit the freedom of the author(s) to use material reported in the papers in any other published works.
Early View
The European Journal of Neurology is covered by Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made to the manuscript after online publication.
Early View articles cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are therefore given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). This is a string of characters which allows the article to be cited and tracked before it is allocated to an issue. After print publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article. For more information about DOIs, visit http://www.doi.org/faq.html.
OnlineOpen
OnlineOpen is available to authors of primary research articles who wish to make their article available to non-subscribers on publication, or whose funding agency requires grantees to archive the final version of their article. With OnlineOpen the author, the author's funding agency, or the author's institution pays a fee to ensure that the article is made available to non-subscribers upon publication via Wiley InterScience, as well as deposited in the funding agency's preferred archive. For the full list of terms and conditions, see http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/authorresources/onlineopen.html#OnlineOpen_Terms.
Any authors wishing to send their paper OnlineOpen will be required to complete the payment form available from our website at: https://secure.interscience.wiley.com/funded_access.html.
Prior to acceptance there is no requirement to inform an Editorial Office that you intend to publish your paper OnlineOpen if you do not wish to. All OnlineOpen articles are treated in the same way as any other article. They go through the journal's standard peer-review process and will be accepted or rejected based on their own merit.
