About the journal
NeuroSignals
|
NeuroSignals is an international journal dedicated to publishing original articles, reviews and short reports in the field of neuronal communication. Novel findings related to signaling machinery, pathways and networks that are associated with development and functioning of the nervous system are most welcome. Reported observations should significantly contribute to the advancement of our understanding of neuronal signaling and be presented in a format applicable to an interdisciplinary readership. Manuscripts addressing the journal’s topics of discussion from a bioinformatics perspective will also be considered for publication. |

Conditions
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review. Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication. Submission of an article for publication implies the transfer of copyright from the author to the publisher upon acceptance. Accepted papers become the permanent property of ‘Neuro-Signals?and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications.
Arrangement
Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate the title, the authors?names, the institute where the work was conducted, and a short title for use as running head.
Full address: The exact postal address of the corresponding author complete with postal code must be given at the bottom of the title page. Please also supply phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address.
Key words: For indexing purposes, a list of 3?0 key words in English is essential.
Abstract: The abstract should concisely present the hypothesis being tested, general methods, results and conclusions. Each abstract should contain no more than 200 words.
Introduction: This section must contain a clear statement of the aims of the work or of the hypotheses being tested. A brief account of the relevant background, which supports the rationale of the study, should also be given. The length of the introduction should not exceed 750 words.
Materials and Methods: This section should contain explicit, concise descriptions of all methods or procedures employed. Descriptions of methods must be sufficient to enable the reader to judge the accuracy, reproducibility and reliability of the experiment(s).
Results: Contained in this section are the experimental data, with no discussion of their significance. Sufficient data should be presented to allow for judgement of the variability and reliability of the results.
Discussion: Conclusions drawn from the re-sults presented are included in this section. The Discussion must be as concise as possible and should not exceed 1,500 words.
Footnotes: Avoid footnotes. When essential, they are to be numbered consecutively and typed at the foot of the appropriate page.
Acknowledgements: Including, where relevant, credit to the sources of grant support, should be placed before the references.
Tables and illustrations: Tables and illustrations (both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be prepared on separate sheets. Tables require a heading and figures a legend, also prepared on a separate sheet. For the reproduction of illustrations, only good drawings and original photographs can be accepted; negatives or photocopies cannot be used. Due to technical reasons, figures with a screen background should not be submitted. When possible, group several illustrations on one block for reproduction (max. size 181 x 223 mm) or provide crop marks. On the back of each illustration, indicate its number, the author's name, and top?with a soft pencil. Electronically submitted b/w half-tone and color illustrations must have a final resolution of 300 dpi after scaling, line drawings one of 800-1,200 dpi.

References: In the text, identify references by Arabic numerals [in square brackets]. Material submitted for publication but not yet accepted should be noted as ‘unpublished data?and not be included in the reference list. The list of references should include only those publications which are cited in the text. Do not alphabetize; number references in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. The surnames of the authors followed by initials should be given. There should be no punctuation other than a comma to separate the authors. Preferably, please cite all authors. Abbreviate journal names according to the Index Medicus system. (Also see International Committee of Medical Journal Editors: Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals.
