Clinical neuroscience research across neurological disease, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, imaging, neurophysiology, rehabilitation, and translational science.
Journal of Neuroscience Reports is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal focused primarily on clinical neuroscience and research concerning the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, prevention, and clinical understanding of neurological and related disorders.
The journal provides a multidisciplinary forum for neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroscientists, neuroimaging researchers, neurophysiologists, rehabilitation specialists, clinical researchers, epidemiologists, and other professionals involved in neurological research and patient care.
Priority is given to human research addressing clinically meaningful questions in neurological health and disease, including observational studies, clinical trials, diagnostic and prognostic research, neuroimaging, clinical neurophysiology, outcomes research, rehabilitation, and evidence synthesis.
Translational studies and selected basic neuroscience research are also considered when they have a clear connection to human nervous-system function, neurological disease, disease mechanisms, therapeutic development, biomarkers, or potential clinical application.
The journal considers positive, negative, neutral, confirmatory, and replication findings when the research question is scientifically or clinically relevant and the study is methodologically appropriate and transparently reported. Editorial decisions are not based solely on statistical significance.
The journal's principal areas of interest include:
Journal of Neuroscience Reports is published electronically in English and operates under a continuous publication model. Articles are published online as the Version of Record after completion of peer review, final editorial acceptance, and production.
The journal is published by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences and receives publishing and technical support from Treata Scholars.
Scientific and editorial responsibility for individual manuscripts rests with the Editor-in-Chief and the journal's academic editorial structure. Publishing, institutional, financial, or technical arrangements do not determine the acceptance or rejection of individual manuscripts.

Journal of Neuroscience Reports is an online-only journal and publishes articles continuously throughout the year.
The journal maintains one volume for each calendar year. Articles are published individually after completion of the editorial and production process rather than being delayed solely for assembly of a conventional issue.
The final published article constitutes the Version of Record.
The journal records manuscript Received, Accepted, and Published dates to provide a transparent editorial history.
Journal of Neuroscience Reports expects submitted manuscripts to meet internationally recognized standards of research ethics, scientific reporting, and publication integrity.
The journal's policies are informed by relevant guidance from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) , the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) , and reporting guidelines available through the EQUATOR Network.
