Scope
Neurosurgery is a field that has advanced rapidly over the past century. With the aging population, and the concatenation of technology as applied to surgery, neurosurgical interventions are increasing in number and breadth. As such, neurosurgery is now defined by the formal subspecialties of spine, vascular/endovascular management of vascular disease and stroke, neuro-oncology, skull base surgery, functional neurosurgery, pediatric neurosurgery, peripheral nerve neurosurgery and trauma/neuro critical care.The section in Neurosurgery will represent the interests of the broad spectrum of subspecialties that comprises Neurosurgery. This will be performed by:
• Creating a platform for the global neurosurgical community to access innovations and advancements in the field using the latest digital multimedia platforms.
• Utilizing this platform to enhance discussion of advances and research within neurosurgery to improve clinical management of patients, and to foster innovation.
• Serving as a forum for research, educational, cultural and political exchange for neurosurgeons throughout the world.
• Rapidly disseminating important advances through open access.

Articles published in the section Neurosurgery will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Surgery.
