About the journal
International Journal of Stroke is a welcome addition to the international stroke journal landscape in that it will concentrate on the clinical aspects of stroke with basic science contributions in areas of clinical interest. Reviews of current topics will be broadly based to encompass not only recent advances of global interest but also those which may be more important in certain regions and there will be items of news interest from all parts of the world. To facilitate the international nature of the journal, our Associate Editors from Europe, Asia, North America and South America will coordinate segments of the journal. Some of these segments will include:
- News from the Regions: Reports on meetings, new trials, significant awards and appointments and news from regional stroke societies.
- World Press Reports: The response of the world press to new developments in stroke. This will be also from all regions of the globe.
- Leading Opinions: Rapid and fairly concise responses by world opinion leaders to recent developments in stroke in various parts of the world.
- Topical Reviews: Fuller overviews of recent developments in stroke by leaders in their field.
- Original Contributions: original contributions from clinical or basic science researchers may be considered which are relevant to professionals working in the field of stroke
Some of the topical areas which will be covered in reviews and leading opinions particularly are:
- Therapies for intracerebral haemorrhage: new vistas
- Angioplasty and Stenting: coming ready or not?
- The genetics of stroke: where are we up to?
- Ultrasound and thrombolysis: Clotbust: where to next?

Early View
International Journal of Stroke 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. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print 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 after online publication. They are given a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which allows the article to be cited and tracked. After publication, the DOI remains valid and can continue to be used to cite and access the article.
Author Services
Online production tracking is now available for articles through Wiley-Blackwell's Author Services. Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production so they do not need to contact the Production Editor to check on progress. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
