Aims and scope
BMC Neurology is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of the prevention, diagnosis and management of neurological disorders, as well as related molecular genetics, pathophysiology, and epidemiology.
Why publish your article in BMC Neurology?
We welcome research from across the entire field of neurology
With over 1.5 million article downloads in 2020, publishing with BMC Neurology ensures high visibility for your article
Transparency in the peer review process as reviewer reports are published with the article
Manuscripts are handled by an established and international editorial board
All article published by BMC Neurology are open access
Research we consider
As a BMC Series journal, BMC Neurology does not make editorial decisions on the basis of the interest of a study or its likely impact. Studies must be scientifically valid; for research articles, this includes a scientifically sound research question, the use of suitable methods and analysis, and following community-agreed standards relevant to the research field.
The journal welcomes manuscripts in the following broad areas of neurology research:
Cerebrovascular disease and stroke including ischemic stroke, spontaneous intracranial bleeding, sinus thrombosis, carotid or vertebral artery disease, cerebrovascular physiology, and neuroimaging related to cerebrovascular diseases
Child neurology including fetal MRI, autism, childhood epilepsy and beta thalassemia
Dementias including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, frontotemporal dementias, Lewy body dementia, vascular dementia, mild cognitive impairment and basic aspects of neurodegenerative diseases and prion diseases
Demyelinating diseases including multiple sclerosis, neuroimmunology, systemic lupus, vasculitis, lymphoma, and myelitis
Epilepsy and seizures
Movement disorders including Parkinson's Disease, transcranial magnetic stimulation, spasticity, dyskinesia, and spinal cord injury
Neuro-oncology and clinical diagnosis, pathology and management of neurological tumours
Neurocritical care and life-threatening disease or disorder of the central or peripheral nervous systems, including neurotrauma, infections, encephalophathies
Neurogenetics including clinical genetics, molecular mechanisms, genetic testing of neurological disorders, mutation screenings, genetics of complex diseases and pharmacogenetics
Neuromuscular disorders and peripheral neurology including myasthenia gravis, myopathies, neuropathies and all other inflammatory, metabolic and genetic disorders affecting skeletal muscle, peripheral nerve or neuromuscular transmission
Neurorehabilitation and management of neurological disorders
Pain including migraine, headaches, analgesia and pain management
Fees and funding
Article-processing charges
Open access publishing is not without costs. BMC Neurology therefore levies an article-processing charge of £1790.00/$2590.00/€2090.00 for each article accepted for publication, plus VAT or local taxes where applicable.
If the corresponding author's institution participates in our open access membership program, some or all of the publication cost may be covered (more details available on the membership page). We routinely waive charges for authors from low-income countries. For other countries, article-processing charge waivers or discounts are granted on a case-by-case basis to authors with insufficient funds. Authors can request a waiver or discount during the submission process. For further details, see our article-processing charge page.
