Mission Statement
Frontiers in Neuroscience publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across the entire research spectrum of Neuroscience. The mission of Frontiers in Neuroscience is to bring all relevant Specialties in Neuroscience together on a single platform.
Frontiers in Neuroscience is composed of the following Specialty Sections and Specialty Journals :
Frontiers in Aging NeuroscienceFrontiers in Auditory Cognitive NeuroscienceFrontiers in Autonomic NeuroscienceFrontiers in Behavioral NeuroscienceFrontiers in Brain Imaging MethodsFrontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceFrontiers in Computational NeuroscienceFrontiers in Decision NeuroscienceFrontiers in Evolutionary NeuroscienceFrontiers in Evolutionary Psychology and NeuroscienceFrontiers in Human NeuroscienceFrontiers in Integrative NeuroscienceFrontiers in Molecular NeuroscienceFrontiers in Neural CircuitsFrontiers in NeuroanatomyFrontiers in Neuroendocrine ScienceFrontiers in NeuroenergeticsFrontiers in NeuroengineeringFrontiers in NeurogenesisFrontiers in NeurogenomicsFrontiers in NeuroinformaticsFrontiers in Neuromorphic EngineeringFrontiers in NeuropharmacologyFrontiers in NeuroprostheticsFrontiers in NeuroroboticsFrontiers in Synaptic NeuroscienceFrontiers in Systems BiologyFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience
The Specialties of Frontiers in Neuroscience welcome the following
tier 1 article types: Book Review, Clinical Case Study, Clinical Trial, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Proceeding, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report.
When submitting an article to Frontiers in Neuroscience, authors must submit the material directly to one of the Specialties. The articles are processed by the associate and review editors of the respective Specialty.
Original research articles published through the Specialties will be subjected to the
Frontiers Evaluation System after online publication. Authors of the
original research articles with the highest impact, as judged by many expert readers, will be invited by the Field Chief Editor of Frontiers in Neuroscience to write a prestigious Frontiers
Focused Review - a tier 2 article. This is referred to as "
democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article-level impact metrics of Original Research published in the Frontiers Specialties. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it in a wider context, and aim to address the wider audience across all of Neuroscience.
Copyright Statement
Under the Frontiers Conditions for Website Use and the Frontiers General Conditions for Authors, authors of articles published in Frontiers journals retain copyright on their articles, except for any third-party images and other materials added by Frontiers, which are subject to copyright of their respective owners. Authors are therefore free to disseminate and re-publish their articles, subject to any requirements of third-party copyright owners and subject to the original publication being fully cited. Visitors may also download and forward articles subject to the citation requirements and subject to any fees Frontiers may charge for downloading licenses. The ability to copy, download, forward or otherwise distribute any materials is always subject to any copyright notices displayed. Copyright notices must be displayed prominently and may not be obliterated, deleted or hidden, totally or partially. A charge may be made for some facilities (such as downloading of e-magazines), where stated.
Quality
Each Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Frontiers is well aware of the potential impact of published research both on future research and on society and, hence, does not support superficial review, light review or no-review publishing models. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public - and shape society. Therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews, established in the high standards of the Frontiers Review System. Furthermore, only the top certified research, evaluated through the democratic Frontiers Evaluation System, is disseminated to increasingly wider communities as it gradually climbs the tiers of the Frontiers Tiering System from specialized expert readership towards public understanding.
