These are exciting times in the clinical neurosciences. New practice models, implemented or currently piloted in a few centers, are transforming rapidly and each change will require new adaptation. Meaningful advances in research and clinical care have been made in neurology and related disciplines. The field is vast, complex, increasingly interdisciplinary, rapidly expanding, and intellectually challenging. Versatility and permanent dialogue between neuroscientists and clinicians encircle all fields of subspecialization and are vital to the practice of quality neurology and the demands for rapid translational information from the basic neurosciences to treatment. In this era of frequently competing demands, no health professional can become too complacent or too relaxed , as it will not take long to fall behind. An appreciation of these facts spark the idea of this project, in order to provide state of the art, readable and innovative updates to the physician scientist across the globe, on what's next in neurology.

Frontiers in Neurology publishes tier 1 and tier 2 article types on the most outstanding discoveries across the entire research spectrum of Neurology. The mission of Frontiers in Neurology is to bring all relevant specialties in Neurology together on a single platform.

Frontiers in Neurology is composed of a number of specialty sections that publish tier 1 articles:

The specialty sections of Frontiers in Neurology welcome the following tier 1 article types: original research articles, clinical case studies, review articles, hypothesis and theory articles, methods articles, commentaries, perspective articles, opinion articles, book reviews and conference proceedings.

When submitting an article to Frontiers in Neurology, authors must submit the material to one of the specialty sections. The articles are processed by the chief, associate and review editors of the respective specialty section.

Original research articles published through the specialty sections will be subjected to the Frontiers evaluation system after online publication. Authors of those articles with the highest impact, as judged by many expert readers, will be invited by the editor-in-chief of Frontiers in Neurology to write a prestigious Frontiers focused review – a tier 2 article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The selection is based on the reader impact over a 3-month period from the date of publication. The selected high impact articles are re-written in a review style centered on the original discovery and aim to address the wider audience across all of neurology.

Frontiers’ philosophy is that all research is for the benefit of mankind. It is enabled by society and should be returned to all people without borders or discrimination. That is why Frontiers provides open and free access to all of its publications. For more information on the open access movement click here.

Under the Frontiers terms and conditions you retain the copyright of your work. This means that you may reproduce copies of your articles in any way you choose and freely disseminate these as reprints, as long as the original publication is fully cited. For instance, your published article can be posted on your personal or institutional homepage, e-mailed to friends and colleagues, printed, archived in a collection, distributed on CD-ROM, quoted in the press, translated and furthermore sent to as many people and as often as you wish.

Each Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, due to true collaborative interactions between authors and the highest quality reviewers. Frontiers recognizes the immense importance of the potential impact of published research on future research and society and, hence, does not support superficial review, light review or no review publishing models. Research knowledge must be validated by peers before entering the stream of knowledge that will eventually reach the public and shape society. Therefore, Frontiers supports the highest quality reviews and operates according to the novel Frontiers academic model that applies a rigorous but unbiased Frontiers review system, a separated, online, automated and global Frontiers evaluation system and Frontiers distillation system, as well as the Frontiers recognition system to reward the most outstanding research selected by the entire community.
