Journal Guide

Epilepsia Open publishes original research in all aspects of epilepsy, making it widely available through Open Access publication. Epilepsia Open is the new open access journal of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE). The primary aim of Epilepsia Open is to rapidly publish robust high quality results that provide insights in all aspects of epilepsy research. Specifically, Epilepsia Open will publish peer reviewed, high quality open access articles covering the entire breadth of basic, translational and clinical research in epilepsy. The spectrum of articles may include all disciplines of life and health sciences, such as public/global health science and societal impact studies. Epilepsia Openalso welcomes submissions of high quality research with confirmatory results, failure-to-confirm studies, and negative results or interesting study protocols for testing new treatments. Epilepsia Open will publish communications from the ILAE and its Chapters. A priority is also given to commentaries of issues and concepts that enhance the access and application of basic research findings for clinical scientists and health professionals, and promote a better understanding of clinical challenges for biomedical researchers. Epilepsia Open is creating a unique forum for the reputable and speedy open access publication of epilepsy research. We are committed to facilitating and invigorating a robust and successful pipeline for improved human health science in epilepsy.

Epilepsia is the leading, most authoritative source for current clinical and research results on all aspects of epilepsy. As the journal of the International League Against Epilepsy, Epilepsia presents subscribers with scientific evidence and clinical methodology in:*clinical neurology,*neurophysiology,*molecular biology,*neuroimaging,*neurochemistry,*neurosurgery,*pharmacology,*neuroepidemiology,*therapeutic trials.Each monthly issue features original peer reviewed articles, brief communications, editorial commentaries, meeting reports, and announcements.

Epilepsy & Behavior is the fastest-growing international journal uniquely devoted to the rapid dissemination of the most current information available on the behavioral aspects of seizures and epilepsy.Epilepsy & Behavior presents original peer-reviewed articles based on laboratory and clinical research. Topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging.Epilepsy & Behavior publishes papers on the study of:• Localization of ictal and postictal behaviors• Neuroendocrine aspects of epilepsy• Psychiatric and psychosocial aspects of epilepsy• Behavioral aspects of epilepsy surgery• Cognitive and affective effects of seizure treatment• Functional imaging• Animal modelsFrom September 2012 Epilepsy & Behavior stopped accepting Case Reports for publication in the journal. From this date authors who submit to Epilepsy & Behavior will be offered a transfer or asked to resubmit their Case Reports to its new sister journal, Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports.IndexingCited in MEDLINE/PubMed and Index Medicus, Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, Science Citation Index-Expanded, NeuroScience Citation Index, PsychINFO, and EMBASE.

Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports presents original peer-reviewed case reports that feature novel observations, significantly add to previously-reported novel observations, or provide compelling illustrations of important clinical principles related to the care of patients who have epilepsy and associated behavioral aspects.

Topics are drawn from a variety of fields, including clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, and neuroimaging.

The American Epilepsy Society and Wiley-Blackwell are pleased to present Epilepsy Currents. This bi-monthly current-awareness journal provides reviews, commentaries and abstracts from the world's literature on the research and treatment of epilepsy. Epilepsy Currents surveys and comments on all important research and developments in a format that is easy to read and reference.

Epilepsy Research provides for publication of high quality articles in both experimental and clinical epilepsy research, with a special emphasis on translational research that ultimately relates to epilepsy as a human condition. The journal is intended to provide a forum for reporting the best and most rigorous epilepsy research from all disciplines ranging from biophysics and molecular biology to epidemiological and psychosocial research. As such the journal will publish original papers relevant to epilepsy from any scientific discipline and also studies of a multidisciplinary nature. Clinical and experimental research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches to the study of epilepsy and its treatment are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant clinical or experimental relevance, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience in the broad arena of epilepsy. Review articles focused on any topic of epilepsy research will also be considered, but only if they present an exceptionally clear synthesis of current knowledge and future directions of a research area, based on a critical assessment of the available data or on hypotheses that are likely to stimulate more critical thinking and further advances in an area of epilepsy research.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Epileptic Disorders publishes articles concerned with the clinical manifestations of epilepsy, but with all aspects of the diagnosis, natural history and management of seizure disorders including neurophysiological, imaging and other ancillary techniques. A major feature of the journal is the video-sequences available on a DVD supplement included with each print issue of the journal. Print and electronic version of the journal are available by John Libbey Eurotext. From volume 12 (2010), the electronic version of Epileptic Disorders is also available for institutions through SpringerLink, the Springer Online Journals Database: www.springerlink.com.
