JNIS Advances, a fully open‑access companion journal to the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS), will debut on July 22 at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) Annual Meeting. The new journal is intended to expand the reach of neurointerventional research.
The publication will cover the full spectrum of neurointerventional practice, including stroke, aneurysms, brain tumors, and spinal disorders. It will employ double‑anonymized peer review and maintain rigorous production standards.
Authors can submit manuscripts directly through the online portal. In addition, manuscripts submitted to JNIS but not accepted can be transferred to JNIS Advances via BMJ’s Article Transfer Service, with peer review reports attached. All articles will be freely accessible on any device, removing subscription barriers for clinicians worldwide, particularly in low‑ and middle‑income countries where the global stroke burden is increasing. The journal also provides an additional venue for fellows, residents, and medical students to publish high‑quality research, complementing JNIS’s selective process.
Michael Levitt, MD, Editor of JNIS Advances, noted that the neurointerventional field has expanded beyond cerebrovascular disease to include treatments for cerebrospinal fluid disorders, epilepsy, and brain‑computer interface implantation. He explained that the goal of the new journal is to bring discoveries to readers, the broader scientific community, and ultimately to patients.
JNIS, launched in 2009, is a leading peer‑review journal in neurointerventional surgery. It is published by BMJ on behalf of SNIS and serves as the official journal for several professional societies, including ESMINT, the Interventional Chapter of ANZSNR, CING, HKSITN, the INR Chapter of NRST, and STNI.
