Propose a Special Issue
Lead a focused collection of neurology and neuroscience research as a Guest Editor for JNRT.
Organize a Special Issue
The Journal of Neurological Research and Therapy welcomes proposals from established researchers interested in guest editing special issues on timely topics in neurology, neuroscience, and neurological therapeutics. Special issues bring together focused collections of related research, providing comprehensive coverage of emerging topics, established neurological conditions, or interdisciplinary areas connecting basic neuroscience with clinical applications.
Guest Editors work with the JNRT editorial team to develop compelling special issues that attract high-quality submissions from neurologists and neuroscientists worldwide and serve as valuable resources for the neurology research community. Successfully organized special issues enhance the visibility of both the journal and the guest editors while advancing knowledge in important neurological research areas.
Leading a special issue offers numerous professional benefits for established researchers in neurology and neuroscience. Guest editing demonstrates scientific leadership, expands your professional network, and creates lasting resources in your area of neurological expertise.
Professional Recognition
Guest Editors receive visible credit on all special issue publications and promotional materials. Your name and affiliation appear alongside the special issue title, demonstrating your leadership and expertise in the neurological research area.
Network Expansion
Organizing a special issue connects you with neurology researchers worldwide who submit manuscripts to your collection. You interact with leading neurologists and neuroscientists as authors and reviewers, expanding your professional network.
Research Impact
Well-organized special issues become valuable resources cited by researchers throughout the neurology field. Your editorial leadership shapes discourse on important neurological topics.
JNRT welcomes special issue proposals covering any aspect of neurology and neuroscience research. Strong proposals focus on topics with sufficient research activity to generate quality submissions while offering novel perspectives or addressing emerging challenges in neurological sciences.
- Emerging therapies for neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's
- Advances in stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation
- Novel approaches to epilepsy management and seizure control
- Neuroimmunology and advances in multiple sclerosis treatment
- Neuroimaging innovations and applications in clinical neurology
- Brain-computer interfaces and neuromodulation technologies
To propose a special issue, please submit a proposal document including the proposed title and scope, brief description of topic importance and timeliness for neurology, proposed timeline for manuscript collection and publication, and brief CVs of proposed Guest Editors with neurological expertise.
Guest Editor Qualifications
Guest Editors should hold doctoral degrees and have active research programs in neurology, neuroscience, or related neurological fields. Prior editorial experience is helpful but not required. Demonstrated expertise in the proposed topic area is essential.
The special issue process typically spans twelve to eighteen months from proposal approval to publication completion. The JNRT editorial team works closely with Guest Editors throughout the process, providing guidance on manuscript handling, peer review coordination, and neurology-focused promotion.
