Journal Guide

The Journal of Neuroradiology is well established among other journals in the fields of neuroradiology, radiology and clinical neurosciences that provide precise and rigorous information on diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology. Indeed, the Journal offers an opportunity to submit original articles, reviews, technical notes and letters to the editors (correspondence section) in English language provided that the methodology and scientific content are of good quality, and that the results will have substantial clinical impact and/or physiological importance. Over the past three years, the impact factor of the Journal has been consistently above 1.000 (1.203 in 2010). The new Editorial Board will continue working to increase the impact of the Journal in the field of neuroradiology and, more generally, the clinical neurosciences. To further increase the Journal's impact and to make its full content even more widely accessible, the decision was taken to exclusively accept peer-reviewed papers in English from now on (see guide to authors). Considering English as the official language of the Journal of Neuroradiology means that contributions in the area of neuroradiology will be easily accessible to all neuroradiologists around the world. Another change is that case reports will no longer be accepted for publication from May 1st, 2012. However, as they may have an influence on our everyday clinical practices, a place will be provided for technical notes reporting on, for example, the improvement of currently used imaging sequences or new MR sequences, or novel approaches in the field of interventional neuroradiology. Nevertheless, to remain a major forum for the most up-to-date insights in the area of diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology, the Editorial team of the Journal of Neuroradiology invites you to submit on this website your high-quality and informative papers in order to make an important contribution to improve our clinical practice, and to communicate on novel concepts, methods and approaches.

The Journal of Neuroscience Methods publishes papers that describe new methods for neuroscience research conducted in invertebrates or vertebrate model species, or in man. Major methodological improvements or important refinements of established neuroscience methods are also considered for publication. The Journal's Scope includes all aspects of contemporary neuroscience research, including anatomical, behavioural, biochemical, cellular, computational, molecular, invasive and non-invasive imaging, optogenetics, physiological, system and clinical research investigations. The Journal no longer publishes papers that deal exclusively with muscle function, evoked muscle activity, kinematics and eye research. Clinical trials are not considered for publication.

In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.

The journal publishes "Letters to the Editor" with a guarantee of publication within 3 months after acceptance of the manuscript.

Subjects considered suitable for the journal include the following (not necessarily in order of importance):

• Theoretical, computational and experimental studies of naturally or technologically relevant flow problems where the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid is important in determining the character of the flow. We seek in particular studies that lend mechanistic insight into flow behavior in complex fluids or highlight flow phenomena unique to complex fluids. Examples include
  • Instabilities, unsteady and turbulent or chaotic flow characteristics in non-Newtonian fluids,
  • Multiphase flows involving complex fluids,
  • Problems involving transport phenomena such as heat and mass transfer and mixing, to the extent that the non-Newtonian flow behavior is central to the transport phenomena,
  • Novel flow situations that suggest the need for further theoretical study,
  • Practical situations of flow that are in need of systematic theoretical and experimental research. Such issues and developments commonly arise, for example, in the polymer processing, petroleum, pharmaceutical, biomedical and consumer product industries.

  This list is meant to be representative, not exhaustive.

• Mathematical analysis of equations relevant to non-Newtonian flows
• Numerical methods suited to problems in flowing complex fluids
• Development of rheological constitutive equations for non-Newtonian fluids from both continuum and microstructural starting points.
• Experimental assessment of predictions from rheological constitutive equations.
• Devices and methodologies for rheological measurements at both macro- and microscopic levels, including microrheology.

Overly abstract, formalistic or artificial developments will not be welcomed.

The Journal of Nuclear Materials publishes high quality papers in materials research for nuclear applications, primarily fission reactors, fusion reactors, and similar environments including radiation areas of charged particle accelerators. Both original research and critical review papers covering experimental, theoretical, and computational aspects of either fundamental or applied nature are welcome.The breadth of the field is such that a wide range of processes and properties in the field of materials science and engineering is of interest to the readership, spanning atom-scale processes, microstructures, thermodynamics, mechanical properties, physical properties, and corrosion, for example.The following list describes topics within the scope of the Journal.Fission reactor materials, including fuels, cladding, core structures, pressure vessels, coolant interactions with materials, moderator and control components; fission product behavior.Materials aspects of the entire fuel cycle.Materials aspects of the actinides and their compounds.Performance of nuclear waste materials; immobilization of wastes.Fusion reactor materials, including first walls, blankets, insulators and magnets.Neutron and charged particle radiation effects in materials, including defects, transmutations, microstructures, phase changes and macroscopic properties.Interaction of plasmas, ion beams, electron beams and electromagnetic radiation with materials.Please note: a manuscript must focus on materials science and engineering related to nuclear applications.
