About the Journal
An open access home for neurological research that advances care, discovery, and therapeutic innovation.
Advancing Neurological Research and Therapy
JNRT publishes high quality research across neurology, neuroscience, and neurotherapeutics. We highlight evidence that improves clinical outcomes and strengthens translational discovery for neurological disorders.
Our mission is to connect scientific rigor with patient impact and to ensure neurological research is accessible to clinicians, researchers, and policy leaders worldwide.
The Journal of Neurological Research and Therapy (JNRT) is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal focused on advancing the science and practice of neurology. We publish evidence that improves diagnosis, treatment, and long term care for neurological conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system.
JNRT connects clinical practice with translational discovery, supporting research that clarifies mechanisms, improves therapeutic strategies, and strengthens patient outcomes across the neurology continuum. Our mission is to accelerate evidence based care and to promote neurological research that changes practice.
JNRT serves neurologists, neuroscientists, rehabilitation specialists, and translational researchers. We welcome manuscripts that address clinical neurology, basic neuroscience, neurotherapeutics, and health systems that deliver neurological care.
Our readership values studies with clear methodology, meaningful clinical relevance, and evidence that can be applied in real world care settings. We also welcome interdisciplinary work when the core contribution advances neurological knowledge or care delivery.
Clinical Neurology
Stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, neuroimmunology, and complex neurological syndromes with measurable outcomes.
Neurodegeneration
Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, ALS, dementia, and neurodegenerative biomarker discovery.
Translational Neuroscience
Therapeutic development, imaging biomarkers, and bench to bedside evidence.
Rehabilitation and Recovery
Neurorehabilitation, cognitive recovery, and long term functional outcomes.
JNRT prioritizes research that connects mechanistic insight with clinical application. Manuscripts should explain how findings influence diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, or care delivery for neurological patients.
We value studies that report patient centered outcomes, safety considerations, and long term follow up to strengthen clinical decision making. Evidence that supports guideline updates, clinical pathways, or measurable improvements in functional outcomes is particularly relevant.
JNRT emphasizes research that reports meaningful neurological outcomes. Studies should define outcomes clearly, report follow up duration, and include patient safety considerations.
- Functional recovery and quality of life outcomes
- Safety profiles for therapies and interventions
- Long term follow up and durability of benefit
- Patient reported outcomes and caregiver impact
We support evidence that improves neurological education, training, and workforce readiness. Studies on clinical education, decision support tools, and practice improvement align with the JNRT mission.
Training research that strengthens neurological care delivery is welcome.
Neurological care is shaped by health systems and policy. JNRT welcomes research that evaluates service delivery models, access to neurological care, and system level interventions.
Evidence that informs policy decisions or improves care pathways is particularly valuable.
JNRT follows rigorous ethical standards, including institutional approvals, informed consent, and conflict of interest disclosure. We support transparent reporting and data availability practices to improve reproducibility.
All submissions undergo editorial screening and peer review to ensure scientific integrity and scope alignment. Studies should follow appropriate reporting standards and provide clear methodology for independent validation.
JNRT encourages the use of established reporting guidelines such as CONSORT, STROBE, and PRISMA when applicable. Clear reporting helps reviewers evaluate rigor and supports reproducible neurological science.
We also emphasize transparent data statements, trial registration where required, and complete disclosure of funding and conflicts.
Submissions are screened for scope fit and compliance before peer review. JNRT aims to provide initial editorial decisions within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and manuscript complexity.
Accepted papers proceed to production, including copyediting, proof review, and DOI registration to ensure long term visibility.
JNRT publishes under the CC BY 4.0 license to ensure global access to neurological research. Open access supports clinical translation, educational use, and policy development without barriers.
We invest in DOI registration and metadata quality to improve discoverability, citation tracking, and long term access.
Neurological disorders affect populations worldwide. JNRT encourages international collaborations and multi center studies that compare outcomes across regions, care settings, and patient populations.
We prioritize research that addresses access, equity, and system level improvements in neurological care.
JNRT publishes special issues that highlight emerging topics in neurology and neurotherapeutics. We welcome proposals that address critical challenges, new technologies, or evidence gaps with clear clinical relevance.
