While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline. In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals. Finally, Case Studies enable authors to present novel and interesting cases and discuss the most useful features to bear in mind for treating future cases. Subjects covered Aging and dementia Brain imaging Epilepsy Genetics Headache Infectious disease Injury, repair and rehabilitation Movement disorders Neural tube defects Neurodegenerative disease Neuroimmunology and neuroinflammation Neurometabolic disorders Neuromuscular disease Neurooncology Neuropsychiatric disorders Neurosurgery Public health Ethics Pain Peripheral neuropathies Sensory systems Sleep Spongiform encephalopathies Stroke White matter disease (including demyelinating and dysmyelinating disorders) Instructions to Authors Manuscript preparation Detailed instructions on manuscript preparation and processes relating to individuals article types are available in PDF format (News & Views, Reviews, Perspectives, Case Studies) but some general notes are provided here. Language Readers struggle with jargon-laden language or concepts, even in disciplines close to their own. Overuse of abbreviations or acronyms can also make text difficult to read and understand. Authors should, therefore, use as plain language as possible to explain concepts, and write as many terms as possible in full while adhering to the word limit. Advice on acceptable abbreviations can be sought from the journal team. Typography and house style Typographic and house styles are used to ensure clarity and consistency within and between articles and journals. House style indicates the journal's preferred use of language and way of referring to particular items of information, for example nomenclature, spelling, and reference formatting. Some basic guidelines to help you prepare an article for a clinical Nature Reviews article are below: Use US English spelling International generic drug names should be used as a default whenever possible. If proprietary names must be used (e.g. to differentiate preparations), they should be marked correctly with ® or â„¿and the manufacturers' details must be provided Human gene names should follow HUGO gene nomenclature Protein names should follow Uniprot nomenclature SI units should be used in all instances References Please do not format your reference list as endnotes, footnotes or linked fields in your submitted document. References should be cited in the main article text with sequential, superscript numbers and should be listed in numerical order at the end of the article. Any references applicable only to display items (i.e. not cited in the main text) should be cited in the legends and added to the end of the reference list. The following formats cover the most commonly used reference types: Author, A. B. and Author, B. C. Title of the article. Nat. Cell Biol. 6, 123â€?1 (2001). Author, A. B. Title of the article. Nat. Struct. Mol. Biol. 7, 101â€?9 (2003). Author, A. B., Author, Z. X. & Author, B. C. Title of article. EMBO J. 25, 3454â€?61 (2006). Author, A. B. in Title of Book (ed. Surname, I. N.) 75â€? (Publisher, City, 2000). Author, A. B. Title of article. Web site title complete URL (Year). If a reference has six or more authors, only the first author should be listed followed by et al. Do not cite manuscripts in preparation or submitted papers that have not definitely been accepted for publication. Meeting abstracts and presentations may be included in some cases, especially for clinical trial results. Citations to personal communications and authors' own unpublished data are not encouraged, but we realize they are sometimes necessary. They should be included within the main text, using the format (AN Author, unpublished data) or (AN Author, personal communication); signed permission from the correspondent must be provided to accompany citations of personal communication. Figures Figures may include photographs, slides, scan images, graphs and/or drawn schematics. All figures will be styled and/or redrawn by our in-house art editors. All symbols and abbreviations used in the figure must be defined within a key and the figure legend, respectively. For further details on preparation of figures, please see our Artwork Preparation Guidelines document. Tables Tables should be used to show information that would be difficult to describe clearly and succinctly in the text. Tables should be provided as part of the main article Word documents. To qualify as a Table more than one column of information must be included. They should be clear and as simple as possible, and must fit on one portrait-oriented A4 page (half a page for News & Views), with all text no smaller than 9-point font. All abbreviations used in a table must be defined in footnotes. Boxes Boxes are useful tools for explaining basic concepts to nonspecialist readers, presenting lists, such as disorders to exclude in differential diagnosis, etc. Boxes must contain only one column of text (maximum 300 words), but the information may be subdivided by headings and/or bulleted; they cannot contain figures. All abbreviations used in a box must be defined in footnotes. Boxes should be provided as part of the main article Word document. If you are unsure about the suitability of content, size, format or style of any display item, of a table, please contact the journal team. Submission Before submission, you must ensure your article has not been submitted to and is not being considered for publication by any other journal. Nature Reviews journals use a fully web-based manuscript submission and tracking system for all types of article. Manuscripts should be submitted online only; you will receive an access URL from the commissioning editor when you agree to write an article. Please do not send files by post or email unless requested to do so by the journal staff.
