About the journal
Aims and scope
Translational Neurodegeneration is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that covers research, therapeutics and education for all aspects of neurodegenerative diseases. By offering a high-visibility forum for new insights and discussions, Translational Neurodegeneration creates a novel interface between the fields of basic, translational, and clinical research. It includes Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, motor neuron disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas of neurodegenerative diseases:
- Epidemiology and pathogenesis
- Research into diagnosis and prevention
- Research into the disease pathogenesis
- Development of new drugs and cell therapy
- Drug delivery
- Rehabilitation
Translational Neurodegeneration offers the opportunity for scientists, clinicians and physician-scientists to publish their research and clinical trials in a journal which is applicable to their specific field.
Open access
All articles published by Translational Neurodegeneration are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without subscription charges or registration barriers. Further information about open access can be found here.
As authors of articles published in Translational Neurodegeneration you are the copyright holders of your article and have granted to any third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce or disseminate your article, according to the BioMed Central license agreement.
For those of you who are US government employees or are prevented from being copyright holders for similar reasons, BioMed Central can accommodate non-standard copyright lines. Please contact us if further information is needed.
Article-processing charges
Open access publishing is not without costs. Translational Neurodegeneration therefore levies an article-processing charge of £1690.00/$2400.00/€2040.00 for each article accepted for publication, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable.
If the corresponding author's institution participates in our open access membership program, some or all of the publication cost may be covered (more details available on the membership page). We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article-processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.
BMC provides a free open access funding support service to help authors discover and apply for article processing charge funding.

Peer-review policy
Peer-review is the system used to assess the quality of a manuscript before it is published. Independent researchers in the relevant research area assess submitted manuscripts for originality, validity and significance to help editors determine whether the manuscript should be published in their journal. You can read more about the peer-review process here.
Translational Neurodegeneration operates a single-blind peer-review system, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous.
The benefit of single-blind peer review is that it is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
Edited by Shengdi Chen, Translational Neurodegeneration is supported by an expert Editorial Board. Manuscripts are reviewed by internationally recognized experts in the field, selected in part from the journal's Editorial Board. The suitability of manuscripts for publication is assessed solely on criteria of scientific excellence: final decisions are made by the Editor-in-Chief and may include accept, reject, accept following minor revision and resubmit after major revision and further review.
Editorial policies
The editorial policies of Translational Neurodegeneration are determined jointly by its Editorial Board and Springer Nature in accordance with the legal and regulatory requirements of China. Unless otherwise stipulated in these guidelines, all manuscripts submitted to Translational Neurodegeneration should adhere to BioMed Central's editorial policies.
Citing articles in Translational Neurodegeneration
Articles in Translational Neurodegeneration should be cited in the same way as articles in a traditional journal. Because articles are not printed, they do not have page numbers; instead, they are given a unique article number.
Article citations follow this format:
Authors: Title. Transl Neurodegener [year], [volume number]:[article number].
e.g. Roberts LD, Hassall DG, Winegar DA, Haselden JN, Nicholls AW, Griffin JL: Increased hepatic oxidative metabolism distinguishes the action of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor delta from Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma in the Ob/Ob mouse. Transl Neurodegener 2009, 1:115.
refers to article 115 from Volume 1 of the journal.
Appeals and complaints
If you wish to appeal a rejection or make a complaint you should, in the first instance, contact the Editor who will provide details of the journal's complaints procedure. For complaints that cannot be resolved with the Editor, the authors should contact the Publisher.
