About the journal

Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience

The journal is interdisciplinary. Papers relating the plasticity and response of the nervous system to accidental of experimental injuries or in-terventions, transplantation, neurodegenerative disorders, and experimental strategies to improve regeneration or functional recovery will be considered for publication. Experimental and clinical research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant experimental or clinical relevance, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience. Experiments on unanesthetized animals should conform with the standards for the use of laboratory animals as established by the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, US National Academy of Sciences. Experiments in which paralytic agents are used must be justified. Patient identity should be concealed. All manuscripts are sent out for blind "peer review" to editorial board members or outside reviewers.

Instructions to Authors

Submission of manuscripts

The journal will publish full-length articles, full-length reviews or mini-reviews and short communications. Every effort will be made to notify authors about acceptance or rejection without delay. Book Reviews, Letters to the Editor, and Abstracts of articles will be published at the Editor's discretion. Categories of manuscripts include: Full-length Papers: giving findings of original basic or clinical research in any area of restorative neurology and neuroscience within the scope of the journal. These papers will be published within 4? months of acceptance. Short Communications: such as brief reports of research results which have reached a stage where they are ready for preliminary communication. Short Communications will be published in the next available issue, usually within 3 months. They should not be more than 1500 words, or equivalent space, including tables and figures. Short communications should contain no section headings. In order to ensure rapid publication, no revisions or updatings will be incorporated into a short communication after the manuscript has been accepted and sent to the Publisher. Review Articles: on specialized topics within the scope of the journal. Prospective authors should contact the Editor-in-Chief beforehand. As a rule research reports should be divided into sections headed by a caption (a structured Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements, References). The abstract should structured as follows: Purpose, Methods, Results, Conclusions.
Manuscripts (including four copies of all illustrations) should be submitted in quadruplicate to the Editor-in-Chief: Bernhard A. Sabel

Electronic submission

You may also submit your article electronically by e-mail to: RNN@Medizin.Uni-Magdeburg
If not using Word you should also send a pdf file of the entire article (replacing the hardcopy).]

Electronic files

The following electronic files are required: The following electronic files are required:
  • a word processor file of the text, such as Word, WordPerfect
  • separate files of all figures (if any); see "Preparation of manuscripts" for the required file formats

Colour figures

It is possible to have figures printed in colour, provided the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author. Please always send the original hard copy of colour figures.

Preparation of manuscripts

Organization of the paper and style of presentation

  • Manuscripts must be written in English. Authors whose native language is not English are recommended to seek the advice of a native English speaker, if possible, before submitting their manuscripts.
  • Manuscripts should be typed on one side of the paper only, with wide margins and double spacing throughout, including the abstract, footnotes and references. Every page of the manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc., should be numbered. However, in the text no reference should be made to page numbers; if necessary, one may refer to sections. Try to avoid the excessive use of italics and bold face.
  • Manuscripts should be organized in the following order:
    • Title page
    • Introduction
    • Body of text (divided by subheadings)
    • Conclusion
    • Acknowledgements
    • References
    • Tables
    • Figure captions
    • Figures.
  • Headings and subheadings should be numbered and typed on a separate line, without indentation.
  • SI units should be used, i.e., the units based on the metre, kilogramme, second, etc.

Title page

  • The title page should provide the following information:
    • Title (should be clear, descriptive and not too long)
    • Name(s) of author(s); please indicate who is the corresponding author
    • Full affiliation(s)
    • Present address of author(s), if different from affiliation
    • Complete address of corresponding author, including tel. no., fax no. and e-mail address
    • Abstract
    • Keywords
  • The abstract should be clear, descriptive, self-explanatory and not longer than 200 words. It should also be suitable for publication in abstracting services.

Tables

  • Tables should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include references to all tables.
  • Each table should be provided on a separate page of the manuscript. Tables should never be included in the text.
  • Each table should have a brief and self-explanatory title.
  • Column headings should be brief, but sufficiently explanatory. Standard abbreviations of units of measurement should be added between parentheses.
  • Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Leave some extra space between the columns instead.
  • Any explanations essential to the understanding of the table should be given in footnotes at the bottom of the table.

Figures

  • Figures should be numbered according to their sequence in the text. The text should include references to all figures.
  • Each figure should be provided on a separate sheet. Figures should not be included in the text.
  • Colour figures can be included, provided the cost of their reproduction is paid for by the author.
  • For the file formats of the figures please take the following into account:
    • line art should be have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi, save as EPS or TIFF
    • grayscales (incl photos) should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi (no lettering), or 500 dpi (when there is lettering); save as tiff
    • do not save figures as JPEG, this format may lose information in the process
    • do not use figures taken from the Internet, the resolution will be too low for printing
    • do not use colours in your figures if they should be printed in black & white, because this will reduce the print quality (note that in software often the default is colour, you should change the settings)
    • for figures that should be printed in colour, please send both a hardcopy (to be used for the paper publication), and a CMYK encoded EPS or TIFF (used for the electronic publication)
  • Each figure should be identified by its number. If necessary, indicate top or bottom of figure.
  • Figures should be designed with the format of the page of the journal in mind. They should be of such a size as to allow a reduction of 50 %.
  • On maps and other figures where a scale is needed, use bar scales rather than numerical ones, i.e., do not use scales of the type 1:10,000. This avoids problems if the figures need to be reduced.
  • Each figure should have a self-explanatory caption. The captions to all figures should be typed on a separate sheet of the manuscript.
  • Photographs are only acceptable if they have good contrast and intensity.

References

  • For citations in the text numbers between square brackets should be used. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript.
  • For citations in the text numbers between square brackets should be used. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript.
  • References should be listed alphabetically in the following style:

Footnotes

  • Footnotes should only be used if absolutely essential. In most cases it is possible to incorporate the information in the text.
  • If used, they should be numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers and kept as short as possible.

Copyright

Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if their paper is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher.

Quoting from other publications

An author, when quoting from someone else's work or when considering reproducing a figures or table from a book or journal article, should make sure that he is not infringing a copyright. Although in general an author may quote from other published works, he should obtain permission from the holder of the copyright if he wishes to make substantial extracts or to reproduce tables, plates or other figures. If the copyright holder is not the author of the quoted or reproduced material, it is recommended that the permission of the author should also be sought. Material in unpublished letters and manuscripts is also protected and must not be published unless permission has been obtained. Submission of a paper will be interpreted as a statement that the author has obtained all the necessary permission. A suitable acknowledgement of any borrowed material must always be made.

Proofs

The corresponding author is asked to check the galley proofs (the publisher will execute a cursory check only). Corrections other than printer's errors, however, should be avoided. Costs arising from such corrections will be charged to the authors.
