Organe d'expression de la Société de Néphrologie, de la Société Francophone de Dialyse et de la Société de Néphrologie Pédiatrique, Néphrologie et Thérapeutique a pour vocation de publier des textes en français dans le domaine de la Néphrologie, qu'il s'agisse d'actualisation des connaissances, de recommandations de bonne pratique clinique, de publications originales, ou d'informations sur la vie des trois sociétés fondatrices. La variété des thèmes abordés reflète la richesse de la Néphrologie, qu'il s'agisse d'aspects fondamentaux issus de la physiologie, de l'immunologie, de l'anatomo-pathologie, ou de la génétique, ou de sujets de néphrologie clinique, notamment ceux en rapport avec les thérapeutiques néphrologiques, transplantation, hémodialyse et dialyse péritonéale.

Nephrology is published eight times per year by the Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology. It has a special emphasis on the needs of Clinical Nephrologists and those in developing countries. The journal publishes reviews and papers of international interest describing original research concerned with clinical and experimental aspects of nephrology.

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation is one of the world's leading journals devoted to original clinical and laboratory research in nephrology, dialysis and transplantation. Published monthly, the journal provides an essential resource for researchers and clinicians throughout the world.The journal covers all aspects of nephrology, particularly clinical nephrology, but also research relating to the basic immunology, anatomy, and physiology of the kidney. It also carries special supplements and publishes the annual reports from the EDTA Registry on demography, trends, current practice, and studies relating to dialysis and transplantation in both adults and children in Europe.

Nephron comprises two sections, “Clinical Practice” and “Experimental Nephrology and Genetics”, which are each under the editorship of internationally recognized leaders and served by specialized and young associate editors. Apart from high-quality original research, Nephron publishes invited reviews/mini-reviews on up-to-date topics. The section “Clinical Practice” also includes second-opinion articles that provide a platform for international experts and opinion leaders to cast a critical eye over published papers dealing with hot topics in clinical and experimental nephrology. The section “Experimental Nephrology and Genetics” includes case studies of genetic interest articles that provide clinically relevant examples of the genetic heterogeneity of renal diseases. Finally, special articles cover a broad range of topics, offering a human-interest perspective on medical/scientific issues with a strong emotional and societal impact. They are published on an ad hoc basis upon invitation

The scope of the Netherlands Heart Journal is to contribute to the national and international literature by publishing scientific papers in the field of cardiovascular medicine. It also provides a platform for Continuing Medical Education for cardiologists and those in training for the speciality of cardiology in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands Heart Journal is made available to cardiologists, cardiologists in training, cardiopulmonary surgeons, cardiopulmonary surgeons in training, internists and paediatric cardiologists. The journal is the official journal of the Netherlands Society of Cardiology.

Neural Plasticity is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles related to all aspects of neural plasticity, with special emphasis on its functional significance as reflected in behavior and in psychopathology. Neural Plasticity publishes research and review articles from the entire range of relevant disciplines, including basic neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, biological psychology, and biological psychiatry. The most recent Impact Factor for Neural Plasticity is 2.000 according to 2011 Journal Citation Reports released by Thomson Reuters (ISI) in 2012.

Published monthly from January 2010, Neuro-Oncology is the official journal of the Society for Neuro-Oncology. Also affiliated with the Japan Society for Neuro-Oncology and the European Association for Neuro-Oncology it is a truly global journal in the field.Dedicated to providing superior and rapid publication of information in all areas of neuro-oncology, the journal contains peer-reviewed articles and reviews, symposia on selected topics, published abstracts of annual meetings, and society news and announcements from around the world.

Neuro-Ophthalmology publishes original papers on diagnostic methods in neuro-ophthalmology such as perimetry, neuro-imaging and electro-physiology; on the visual system such as the retina, ocular motor system and the pupil; on neuro-ophthalmic aspects of the orbit; and on related fields such as migraine and ocular manifestations of neurological diseases.The following sections are included in the journal:* Editorial (will usually be commissioned)*Review (may be commissioned or submitted)*Comment (shorter than a full review and may cover a single issue and may be more speculative, may be commissioned or submitted)*Original Paper and Short Report (in the fields of Basic Science, Clinical Science and History of Neuro-Ophthalmology)*Case Report and Case Series (which must contribute original information to the literature)*Photoessay (the clinical condition described need not be original, the criterion is that the image must be of high quality and provide an illustration that is of a high educational value)*Letters to the Editor (usually commenting on articles published in the journal)*Book Reviews (usually commissioned, but suggestions are welcomed)*Selected Abstracts (Neuro-Ophthalmic literature review, commissioned from our team of reviewers)*Society Tidings (commissioned or submitted).

The new online only, open access, peer reviewed journal in clinical neuroimaging.NeuroImage: Clinical, a Journal of Diseases affecting the Nervous System, provides a vehicle for communicating important advances in the study of abnormal structure-function relationships of the human nervous system based on imaging.The focus of NeuroImage: Clinical is on the characterization of changes to the brain at a systems level of analysis secondary to disease. The main criterion for judging papers is the extent of scientific advancement in the understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease, in identification of functional models that link clinical signs and symptoms with brain function and in the creation of image based tools applicable to a broad range of clinical needs including diagnosis, monitoring of disease and tracking of therapeutic response. Papers dealing with structure and function at the microscopic level will also be considered if they reveal mechanisms that inform across multiple levels and can be translated to human disease.The journal welcomes original research articles as well as papers on innovative methods, models, databases, theory or conceptual positions provided that they involve imaging approaches and demonstrate significant new opportunities for understanding clinical problems.

NeuroRehabilitation is an international journal which emphasizes publication of scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. Manuscripts cover the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease, and other neurological disorders. Information is intended for an interdisciplinary audience.Issues of the journal are thematically organized. Themes have focused on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy, and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed. NeuroRehabilitation also publishes original research and book reviews. Letters to the editor, commentaries, and editorials are also welcomed.Readers are encouraged to submit original research which includes experimental investigations or case reports. Reviews of rehabilitation literature will be published as well. Manuscripts are given blind, peer review, and authors are provided with timely, constructive feedback. Publication decisions will be made based on relevance to practice, quality of methodology, and synthesis of findings with existing literature.
