A journal of progress in Neurosurgery, Neurology and Neurosciences
Neurological Research is an international journal for reporting both basic and clinical research in the fields of neurosurgery, neurology and neurosciences. It provides a medium for those who recognize the wider implications of their work and who wish to be informed of the relevant experience of others in related and more distant fields.
Neurological Research is indexed or abstracted in the following: Index Medicus/Medline, Web of Science, Neuro-Science Citation Index, Journal of Citation Reports; BIOSIS; EMBASE/Excerpta Medica; Current Awareness in Neurosciences; BIOBASE/Current Awareness in Biological Sciences; Research Alert; and SCISEARCH.

Instructions to Authors
Types of Paper
Research papers (up to 6000 words and 6-8 illustrations), full length accounts of original research.
Review articles (up to 7500 words, and 8-10 illustrations), providing concise in-depth reviews of traditional and new areas in neuroscience, neurology and neurosurgery.
Short communications (up to 1500 words), either brief papers describing completed projects of short duration or short papers on incomplete new projects.
Neurological Updates (up to 1000 words), providing succinct reminders of the etiology and latest treatment of single topic neurological disorders, e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.
Technical Reports (up to 1000 words and 2-3 illustrations), reporting on work-in- progress on diagnosis, treatment, equipment development or novel surgical techniques.
Case Reports (up to 3000 words and 2-3 illustrations).
[There are approximately 250 words on one double-spaced manuscript page.]
Refereeing
All contributions are reviewed by referees whose names are not disclosed to authors. Upon acceptance for publication, papers are subject to editorial amendment. All manuscripts accepted for publication in Neurological Research become the sole property of the publisher and author(s) will be asked to assign copyright to the publisher.
Only work not previously published or under consideration for publication elsewhere will ordinarily be accepted for publication. It is the author's responsibility to secure permission to use figures or tables that have been published elsewhere.
Manuscripts
Submit an original and 4 copies of each item: manuscript, references, tables, figure legends, and figures.
Provide a cover letter indicating the name, mailing and E-mail address, FAX/ telephone numbers of the individual to whom correspondence and questions should be directed and signatures of all named co-authors.
Arrange the manuscript in the following order: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgements, references, notes, tables, figure legends, and figures.
Number the pages in sequence, with the title page as page 1, the abstract as page 2, etc.
Double-space the manuscript and type it on 8.5 x 11 inch (21.5 x 28 cm) white bond paper with 1-inch margins on all four sides.
Submission of Disks
To expedite the publication process, Neurological Research asks authors to submit a 3.5" floppy disk, containing a file of the manuscript text. The latest version of Microsoft Word is preferred. Please label the disk with the manuscript title, the first author's name, and the word processing program and version used. If a revised manuscript is submitted during the review process, it must be accompanied by a disk containing a file for the revised text.
Title page
Give the first name, middle initial, and last name of all authors.
Provide the name and address and FAX/telephone number of the corresponding author to whom reprint requests should be sent. Give the name and address of the institution from which the work originated.
List each author's institutional affiliation(s). Show the address of each author at the time of the study and include the present address if it differs.
Provide a running title of up to 50 characters.
Abstract Provide an abstract of up to 200 words that clearly states the hypothesis tested, results, and conclusions. Do not cite references and do not use abbreviations.
List up to six keywords applicable to the content of the manuscript after the abstract; they will be used for indexing purposes.
Text
Start the text on a new page. Arrange the text into: Introduction; Materials and Methods; Results; Discussion; Conclusion.
Acknowledgements
Funding sources and corporate or institutional associations, as well as individuals who assisted with the study, should be mentioned here.
Illustrations
It is the author's responsibility to provide 3 sets of fully labeled original camera- ready artwork for all illustrations. Upon request, all original art will be returned to the author upon publication. Color illustrations, where appropriate, may be published provided the author can provide the necessary funding to cover the costs.
For line art submit original drawings or black and white prints (5 x 7 inches). All labels should be professionally lettered in a sans serif typeface. Typewritten labels are not acceptable. Most illustrations will be reduced to the single column width (3.375 inches or 20 picas); therefore, lettering should be large enough to be easily readable (at least 8 point type after reduction).
For halftones, submit glossy black and white prints. Photocopies are not acceptable. Calibration bars should be included on all electronmicrographs. All art should be labeled on the back with author's name, figure number, and an arrow indicating top of figure. Write on the label before placing it on the photograph, since writing on the back of a photograph can leave indentations that will show when printed. If patient photographs are used, the patients must be unidentified or written permission from the patient must be provided.
Figure legends should be typed, double-spaced, and should appear on a separate sheet of paper at the end of the manuscript. The legends should not be typed on the figures.
Tables Tables should be typed on separate sheets, with a suitable title at the top of each table. Column headings should be kept as brief as possible, and units of measure indicated in parentheses.
References
References should be numbered sequentially in the order of their citation in the text, using Arabic numerals. Include in the references any mention of abstracts, manuscripts in preparation, unpublished data, or personal communications. Personal communications may only be cited if an accompanying letter is sent at time of submission indicating that the author(s) is agreeable to have the communication published. Abbreviate journal titles according to ``Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals', Ann Intern Med 1982; 96: 766-771. Note the following examples:
1 Walsh EK, Schettini A. Brain tissue elasticity and CSF elastance. Neurol Res 1990; 12: 123-127
2 Powers WJ, Raichle ME. Positron emission tomography in cerebrovascular disease. In: Barnett HJM, Mohr JP, Stein BM, Yatso FM, eds. Stroke, New York: Churchill-Livingstone, 1986: pp. 127-137
Proofs
Authors are responsible for ensuring that all manuscripts are accurately typed before final submission. One set of proofs is sent to the authors before publication, which must be returned within 48 hours of receipt. The publisher reserves the right to charge for any changes made at the proof stage (other than printer's errors).
Offprints
Offprints can be ordered at prices shown on an order form, which is sent with the proofs.
Submission
Submit an original and two copies of each item (manuscript, references, tables, figure legends, and figures) to one of the Editors or Associate Editors with a cover letter indicating the name, mailing and E-mail address, fax/telephone numbers of the individual to whom correspondence and questions should be directed, and signed by all named co-authors.
