Scientific publisher Nature Publishing Group (NPG) and the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF) have announced a partnership to launch npj Parkinson's Disease, an open access journal entirely dedicated to research which will help the scientific community to understand, mitigate, and eventually cure Parkinson's disease.
npj Parkinson's Disease will publish high quality research that is online-only, and free to access, enabling academics, clinicians and patients to stay up to date with the latest research. The journal will cover all research related to Parkinson's disease, including anatomy, etiology, genetics, cellular and molecular physiology, neurophysiology, epidemiology, and therapeutic development and treatments.
This is the latest launch in the series of Nature Partner Journals (npjs), a new series of online, open access journals published in collaboration with world-renowned international partners. As with all titles within the series, npj Parkinson's Disease will adhere to high editorial standards and will publish high-quality open research.
The journal's joint Editor in Chiefs will be Dr. David Sulzer of Columbia University and Professor K Ray Chaudhuri, Dsc MD, King's College London. Dr. Stanley Fahn, Scientific Director of PDF and Emeritus Director of the Center for Parkinson's Disease and Other Movement Disorders at Columbia University Medical Center will serve as the journal's Advisory Editor.
npj Parkinson's Disease will be open for submissions in early December.
