Submission guidelines
Instructions for Authors
Types of papers
Original Articles: There is no length limit or restriction on the number of illustrations/tables for full-length articles. However, authors are encouraged to avoid lengthy Introduction and Discussion sections. Original Articles should include the following sections after the title page and abstract: Introduction, Materials and Methods (subheadings allowed), Results (subheadings allowed), Discussion (subheadings allowed), Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Figure legends, and Appendices (if needed).Neurogenetics publishes associations of polymorphisms with complex conditions only if two independent cohorts (e.g., from different countries) of sufficient sizes have been investigated. In addition, the manuscript should be checked for compliance with the "Recommendations of the Working Group on Replication in Association Studies", Nature 447:655-660, 2007. Meta-analyses are welcome in principal, but will only be reviewed if they contain significant novel findings.In general, Neurogenetics does not publish negative results and new mutations in known disease genes unless the findings greatly advance knowledge on pathological mechanisms.
Review Articles: Review Articles and mini-reviews are most welcome. Contributors seeking to publish a review are nevertheless encouraged to contact an Editor prior to submitting the article.
Short Communications: Short Communications of up to 1,200 words (excluding references and abstract) should be submitted in the format of a short paper. The abstract should not comprise more than 100 words.
Letters to the Editors: This section is reserved for the publication of important preliminary novel findings and for the discussion of controversial issues. Letters should not exceed 500 words, one table or one figure, and 6 references.
Editorial Procedure
It is understood that by publishing a paper in Neurogenetics, the authors agree to make available to colleagues in academic (nonprofit) research any of the cells, nucleic acids, antibodies etc. that are not available from commercial suppliers and are required to substantiate the scientific conclusions of the paper. Neurogenetics does not publish negative results.
Neurogenetics publishes associations of polymorphisms with complex conditions only if two independent cohorts (e.g. from different countries) of sufficient sizes have been investigated. In addition, the manuscript should be checked for compliance with the recommendations of the NCI-NHGRI Working Group on Replication in Association Studies (see Nature [2007] 447: 655-660, DOI:10.1038/447655a).
Accession numbers and gene symbols
Authors should be aware that all new sequence information, including that which extends a previously determined sequence already present in the database (and which already has an accession number) must be submitted to any of the three major collaborative databases (DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank) for a new accession number. It is only necessary to submit to one database, without regard to where the sequence data will be published. Data is exchanged between DDBJ, EMBL and GenBank on a daily basis. The accession number must be provided before acceptance of the manuscript.
New genes and gene loci need to be designated by symbols in accordance with the Guidelines for Human Gene Nomenclature (http://www.gene.ucl.ac.uk/nomenclature/guidelines.html). To guarantee the designation of universally acceptable symbols, authors should consult the nomenclature committee by writing to nome@galton.ucl.ac.uk to have new names and symbols “approved” before publication.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online Submission
Please follow the hyperlink “Submit manuscript” on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.
Please ensure you provide all relevant editable source files. Failing to submit these source files might cause unnecessary delays in the review and production process.
Specific Remark: Authors are asked to recommend names (with contact email) for 5-6 experts in the field that they feel would be good reviewers for this manuscript.

Text
Text Formatting
Manuscripts should be submitted in Word.
Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.
Use italics for emphasis.
Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
Do not use field functions.
Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.
Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.
Save your file in docx format (Word 2007 or higher) or doc format (older Word versions).
Manuscripts with mathematical content can also be submitted in LaTeX.
LaTeX macro package (Download zip, 188 kB)
Headings
Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Footnotes
Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.
Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.
Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
Scientific style
Please use the standard mathematical notation for formulae, symbols etc.:
Italic for single letters that denote mathematical constants, variables, and unknown quantities
Roman/upright for numerals, operators, and punctuation, and commonly defined functions or abbreviations, e.g., cos, det, e or exp, lim, log, max, min, sin, tan, d (for derivative)
Bold for vectors, tensors, and matrices.
Description of sequence variants and database submission
Manuscripts should be compatible with the HGVS rules to describe sequence variants (see the link below). If alternative nomenclature schemes exist in a specific field, they may be used in addition but not exclusively. Variants may be described using dbSNP identifiers but only when at least once a genomic description is given (format chr22.hg19:g.25855459G>A). All reference sequences used should be named using GenBank accession and version number.
HGVS rules
Authors are encouraged to check descriptions using software tools like the Mutalyzer program (see the link below).This journal supports the recommendations of the Human Variome Project. Prior to publication, authors are required to submit all variants and phenotypes described to a public database, e.g. the relevant gene variant database. Authors must confirm the status of database submission in their cover letter. In addition, authors must name in the manuscript the database(s) to which they will submit the variants and provide the URL.
Mutalyzer program
References
Citation
Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some examples:
1. Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3].
2. This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman [5].
3. This effect has been widely studied [1-3, 7].
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text.
The entries in the list should be numbered consecutively.
If available, please always include DOIs as full DOI links in your reference list (e.g. “https://doi.org/abc”).
