This international journal publishes articles on clinical neurosurgery and neurology and the related neurosciences such as neuro-pathology, neuro-radiology, neuro-ophthalmology and neuro-physiology.
The journal has a broad international perspective, and emphasises the advances occurring in Asia, the Pacific Rim region, Europe and North America. The Journal acts as a focus for publication of major clinical and laboratory research, as well as publishing solicited manuscripts on specific subjects from experts, case reports and other information of interest to clinicians working in the clinical neurosciences.
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience is abstracted and indexed in Medline/ PubMed, EMBASE, BIOBASE, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine,Neuroscience Citation Index, Research Alert, Chemical Abstracts, SciSearch, and The Institute of Scientific Information of Russia |

Instructions to Authors
These instructions are in accordance with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors: Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals.
Original articles, editorial correspondence, case reports, notices and suggestions for review articles should be sent to:
Professor Andrew Kaye, Professor and Director, The Melbourne Neuroscience Centre, The Royal Melbourne Hospital, Parkville, Victoria 3050, Australia
Articles from Japan should be sent to either Professor Andrew Kaye in Melbourne, Australia or to:
Co-Editor, Professor Shigeaki Kobayashi, Professor and Chairman, Department of Neurosurgery, Shinshu University School of Medicine, Asahi 3-1-1, Matsumoto 390, Japan.
Authors are requested to submit three copies of their typescript and illustrations.
The Editor cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of material or disks.
A paper is accepted for publication on the understanding that it has not been submitted simultaneously to another journal in the English language. A paper must be accompanied by a covering letter signed by all authors.
Papers that contain the results of human and/or animal studies will only be accepted for publication if it is made clear that a high standard of ethics was applied in carrying out the investigations. In the case of invasive studies of humans and animals, papers should include a statement that the research protocol was approved by the appropriate local ethics committee.
The Editor reserves the right to make editorial and literary corrections. Any opinions expressed or policies advocated do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of the Editor, the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia, or the Publisher.
Ethics
Typescripts that contain the results of human and/or animal studies will be accepted for publication only if it is made clear that a high standard of ethics was applied in carrying out the investigations.
Papers reporting clinical studies should, where appropriate, contain a statement that they have been carried out with ethical committee approval. Single case studies are not usually acceptable.
Digital Object Identifier
Churchill Livingstone assigns a unique digital object identifier (DOI) to every article it publishes. The DOI appears on the title page of the article. It is assigned after the article has been accepted for publication and persists throughout the lifetime of the article. Due to its persistence, it can be used to query Churchill Livingstone for information on the article during the production process, to find the article on the Internet through various Web sites, including IDEAL, and to cite the article in academic references. When using a Churchill Livingstone article in a reference section, it is important to include the article's DOI in the reference as volume and page information is not always available for articles published online. The References section, below, shows samples of DOI included in references. Further information may be found at http://academicpress.com/doi.
Number of Copies
Papers should be set out as follows, with each section beginning on a separate sheet: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgements, references, tables, captions to illustrations. Headings should be appropriate to the nature of the paper. In general those for experimental papers should follow the usual conventions. Other papers can be subdivided as the author desires; the use of headings enhances readability.
Do not use 'he', 'his' etc. where the sex of the person is unknown; say 'the patient' etc. Avoid inelegant alternatives such as 'he/she'. Patients should not be automatically designated as 'she' or doctors as 'he'.
Title
The title page should give the following information: (1) title of the article; (2) initial and name of each author, with highest academic degree(s); (3) name and address of the department or institution to which the work should be attributed; (4) name, address, telephone and fax number of the author responsible for correspondence and to whom requests for offprints should be sent and (5) sources of support in the form of grants.
Abstracts
This should consist of not more than 150 words summarising the contents of the article. Below the abstract provide 3-7 key words that will assist in cross-indexing the article. Whenever possible use terms from the MeSH list of Index Medicus.
Reference Format
The accuracy of references is the responsibility of the author. References should be entered consecutively by Arabic numerals in parentheses in the text. The reference list should be listed in numerical order on a separate sheet in double or triple spacing. References to journals should include the author's name and initials (list all authors when six or fewer; when seven or more, list only the first three and add et al.), full title of paper, journal's title abbreviated, using Index Medicus abbreviations, year of publication, volume number, first and last page numbers.
For example: Monstein H J, Pedersen K, Haahr P M. Modulation of cholecystokinin (CCK) gene-expression in a human neuroblastoma cell line: effects of serum on enhanced CCK and c-FOS mRNA expression. Neuropeptides 1992; 23:107-13. References to books should be set out as follows: Eadie M J. Drug Therapy in Neurology. 1st ed. Edinburgh: Churchill Livingstone, 1992: 344. Br Med J 1991; 302(67-72). When citing a Churchill Livingstone journal, include the digital object identifier (DOI), if noted, from the article's title page. Please note the following examples: Nanduri and Zimniak P (1999) Arch Biochem Biophys 362:167-174, doi: 10.1054/abbi.1998.1009 Prasad RK and Ismail-Beigi F (1999)Arch Biochem Biophys doi: 10.1054/abbi.1998.1026
Figures
Please note that it is the responsibility of authors to produce and supply artwork at their own cost. Illustrations will be handled conventionally and should not be supplied on disk.
Line illustrations: All line illustrations should present a crisp black image on an even white background 127 x 173 mm (5 x 7 in), or no larger than 203 x 254 mm (8 x 10 in). Figures should be submitted appropriately lettered in capitals. The size of letters should be appropriate to that of the illustration, taking into account the necessary size reduction.
Photographic illustrations and radiographs: These should be submitted as clear, highly contrasted black and white prints (unmounted), sizes as above. Photomicrographs should have the magnification and details of staining techniques shown. X-ray film should be submitted as photographic prints, carefully made to bring out the detail to be illustrated, with an overlay indicating the area of importance.
All illustrations should be clearly marked (by a label pasted on the back or by a soft crayon) with the figure number and author's name and the top of the figure should be illustrated with an arrow. Never use ink of any kind. Never use paperclips as these can scratch or mark illustrations. Illustrations in colour cannot be accepted unless the cost of origination and publication is paid for by the author. Captions should be typed, double spaced, on separate sheets from the main text. Ensure that each illustration is cited in the text.
Patient confidentiality: Where illustrations must include recognisable individuals, living or dead and of whatever age, great care must be taken to ensure that consent for publication has been given. If identifiable features are not essential to the illustration, please indicate where the illustration can be cropped.
In cases where consent has not been obtained and recognisable features may appear, it will be necessary to retouch the illustration to mask the eyes or otherwise render the individual 'officially unrecognisable'.
Tables
Tables on disk should be presented in a separate file. Use only one tab (not spaces) to separate each column in a table. Do not worry about the alignment of columns on the screen, but if you wish to lay the table out on the hard copy, set each tab as needed. Each table should be presented on a separate page and should contain only horizontal rules. Do not submit tables as photographs.
Care should be taken to ensure that all units are included.
A short descriptive title should appear above each table and any footnotes, suitably identified, should appear below. Ensure that each table is cited in the text.
Units & Abbreviations
All measurements should be expressed in metric units. For more detailed recommendations, authors may consult the Royal Society of Medicine publication entitled Units, Symbols and Abbreviations: A Guide for Biological and Medical Editors and Authors or USA equivalent.
Permissions Information
Permission to reproduce borrowed illustrations or tables or identifiable clinical photographs: Written permission to reproduce borrowed material must be obtained from the original publishers and authors, and submitted with the typescript. Borrowed material should be acknowledged in the captions in this style: 'Reproduced by the kind permission of (publishers) from (reference)'.
Proofs
Page proofs are sent to the author for checking. The proofs, with any minor corrections, must be returned by fax or post to the Production Editor at Churchill Livingstone promptly. All typescripts undergo some editorial modification, so it is important to read your proofs carefully.
Offprints
Twenty-five free offprints are supplied to the author to whom offprint requests are made. Authors may purchase additional offprints if required. An offprint order form will be sent to the author with the page proofs.
