Reviewers should evaluate neurology and neuroscience manuscripts according to JNRT standards for quality, rigor, and scientific contribution.
- Assess scientific significance and contribution to neurology
- Evaluate methodological rigor and experimental design
- Check data quality including neuroimaging and statistical analysis
- Consider clarity of presentation and logical organization
- Verify conclusion support by presented data
- Review reference adequacy and relevance
Quality reviews provide specific, constructive feedback that helps authors improve their neurology manuscripts. Organize comments clearly, distinguish major from minor concerns, and suggest specific improvements. Maintain professional tone even when identifying significant problems.
Reviewers must maintain strict confidentiality of manuscript contents and avoid conflicts of interest. Do not discuss manuscripts with colleagues or use information from reviewed manuscripts in your own work before publication. Report suspected misconduct to the handling editor.
Technical support is available for questions about the review management system. For questions about review standards or other issues, contact the JNRT editorial office at [email protected].
