About the journal
|
The Journal of Neuroimmunology affords a forum for the publication of works applying immunologic methodology to the furtherance of the neurological sciences. Studies on all branches of the neurosciences, particularly fundamental and applied neurobiology, neurology, neuropathology, neurochemistry, neurovirology, neuroendocrinology, neuromuscular research, neuropharmacology and psychology, which involve either immunologic methodology (e.g. immunocytochemistry) or fundamental immunology (e.g. antibody and lymphocyte assays), are considered for publication. Works pertaining to multiple sclerosis, AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Guillain Barr¨¦ Syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and brain tumors form a major focus. The scope of the Journal is broad, covering both research and clinical problems of neuroscientific interest.
A major aim of the Journal is to encourage the development of immunologic approaches to analyse in further depth the interactions and specific properties of nervous tissue elements during development and disease.

Instructions to Authors
How to Submit
The preferred medium of submission is on disk with accompanying manuscript (see "Electronic manuscripts" below).
Submission of a manuscript will be held to imply that it contains original work and that it has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. It also implies the transfer of the Copyright from the author to the publisher.
Papers and original illustrations should be submitted plus two copies and accompanied by a letter of transmittal to the Editor-in-Chief, Prof. C.S. Raine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dept. of Pathology, F140, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, New York, NY 10461, USA.
After final acceptance of an article only corrections to the title and list of authors as they appear on the accepted article will be permitted, not changes; particularly, no author names may be added to or deleted from the accepted lists.
Types of Papers
The journal primarily publishes full length papers describing original work but it will also accept a small number of review articles. Short communications, not exceeding 1500 words, will be accepted for rapid publication.
Suggestions for potential reviewers
Authors are invited to provide the names, addresses and (if possible) fax numbers and e-mail addresses of up to five potential reviewers. It would not be appropriate to nominate individuals that have had any input into the manuscripts submitted or any recent collaboration with the authors. The Editors may or may not take these suggestions into account during the reviewing process.
Preparation of Manuscripts
The preferred medium of final submission to the acepting editor is on disk with accompanying reviewed and revised manuscript (see "Electronic manuscripts" below).
Manuscripts should be in the English language and should be typewritten with double spacing on one side of the paper only. A short Abstract, not exceeding 100 words, should be on a separate sheet; it will appear at the beginning of the paper. A list of 3-6 key words should appear underneath the Abstract. The title page should be a separate sheet, bearing title, author(s)' name(s) and their full addresses, and a footnote with the corresponding author's Phone and Fax (and e-mail) number. As a rule, papers should be divided into numbered sections, headed by a caption (e.g. Abstract; 1. Introduction; 2. Materials and methods; 3. Results; 4. Discussion; References).
Illustrations
Line drawings (including graphs) should be drawn in black ink on white paper or on tracing paper with blue or faint grey rulings; graduation will not be reproduced. Lettering should be large enough to permit photographic reduction. If figures are not to be reduced their format should not exceed 13.0 x 20 cm (the typing area of the Journal).
Photographs (or half-tone illustrations) must be of good quality, submitted as black and white prints on glossy paper, and have as much contrast as possible. The degree of reduction will be determined by the publisher, but in general it should be assumed that the same degree of reduction will be applied to all figures in the same paper. For photomicrographs, where possible, a scale should appear on the photograph. Color plates will be reproduced at the expense of the author(s).
Illustrations should be clearly marked on the reverse side with the number, orientation (top) and author's name; a soft pencil or preferably a felt-tipped pen should be used for marking photographs. The illustrations should be numbered with Arabic numerals. The legends should be typed separately.
Tables
Tables should be compiled on separate sheets with double spacing, numbered with Arabic numerals and provided with a short descriptive title, a legend and/or footnotes identified by superscripts a,b,c,, etc.
References
These should be cited in the text by author(s)' name(s) and year of publication (Harvard System). When referring to a work of more than two authors, the name of the first author should be given, followed by et al. Examples: (Emery, 1969); (Roy and Dubowitz, 1970); (Craig et al., 1978).
All references cited in the text should be given at the end of the paper, typed with double spacing and arranged in alphabetical order of first author. More than one paper from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters a, b, c, etc. placed after the year of publication.
References must consist of names and initials of all authors, year, title of paper referred to, abbreviated title of periodicals, volume number, and first and last page numbers.
Periodicals, books and edited books should accord with the following examples, respectively.
Matyszak, M.K., Perry, V.H. 1998. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin sequestered in the brain parenchyma escapes immune recognition. J. Neuroimmunol. 82, 73-80.
Bradshaw, J., 1986. Basic Experiments in Neuropsychology. Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp. 143-163.
Blalock, J.E., 1992. Production of peptide hormones and neurotransmitters by the immune system. In: Blalock, J.E. (Ed.), Neuroimmunoendocrinology, Chemical Immunology, Vol. 52, Karger, Basel, pp. 1-19.
Journal titles should be abbreviated according to the List of Serial Title Word Abbreviations (International Serials Data System, 20 rue Bachaumont, 75002 Paris, France. ISBN 2-904938-02-8).
This Journal should be cited in the list of references as J. Neuroimmunol.
Electronic manuscripts
Electronic manuscripts have the advantage that there is no need for the rekeying of text, thereby avoiding the possibility of introducing errors and resulting in reliable and fast delivery of proofs.
The preferred storage medium is a 51-4 or 31-2 inch disk in MS-DOS format, although other systems are welcome, e.g., NEC and Macintosh (in this case, save your file in the usual manner, do not use the option "save in MS-DOS format"). Please do not split the article into separate files (title page as one file, text as another, etc.). Ensure that the letter "l" and digit "1" (also letter "O" and digit "0") have been used properly, and structure your article (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on your wordprocessor (Greek letters, mathematical symbols, etc.) should not be left open but indicated by a unique code (e.g., gralpha, @, #, etc., for the Greek letter  ). Such codes should be used consistently throughout the entire text. Please make a list of such codes and provide a key. Do not allow your wordprocessor to introduce word splits and do not use a "justified" layout. Please adhere strictly to the general instructions on style/arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of the journal. It is very important that you save your file in the wordprocessor format. If your wordprocessor features the option to save files "in flat ASCII", please do not use it. Format your disk correctly and ensure that only the relevant file (one complete article only) is on the disk. Also, specify the type of computer and wordprocessing package used and label the disk with your name and the name of the file on the disk. After final acceptance, your disk plus one, final, printed and exactly matching version (as a printout) should be submitted together to the accepting editor. It is important that the file on disk and the printout are identical. Both will then be forwarded by the editor to Elsevier. Further information may be obtained from the Publisher.
Proofs, Reprints and Page Charge
One set of proofs will be sent to the author(s) to be checked for typographical errors. No alteration to the text, tables or legends will be accepted. In case of two or more authors please indicate to whom the proofs should be sent.
Twentyfive (25) reprints are provided free of charge. Additional copies (minimum 100) may be ordered at prices shown on the reprint order form, sent out together with the proofs.
There will be no page charge.
