The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) has announced that it is accepting submissions for eNeuro, its new open-access journal. The Society also revealed the journal’s founding editorial board. Featuring a wide range of content, eNeuro will provide an innovative venue for publishing excellent science across the neuroscience field, with a fair, fast review process for researchers.
eNeuro will publish high-quality, broad-based, peer-reviewed research focused solely on the field of neuroscience. In launching the journal, the Society seeks to realise a scientific vision for a new open-access experience for authors and readers, all in support of SfN’s mission to advance understanding of the brain and nervous system. Christophe Bernard of INSERM will serve as the publication’s editor-in-chief.
The inaugural editorial board is composed of current and emerging leaders from across the field, with 39 reviewing editors working alongside Bernard and the eNeuro Advisory Board: Tim Bussey (University of Cambridge), György Buzsáki (New York University), Margaret McCarthy (University of Maryland), Freda Miller (Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto), and Serge Przedborski (Columbia University).
As part of an enhanced publishing experience, eNeuro will offer a wide array of content, ranging from research articles to reviews and commentaries to negative results to tools and methods for authors. It will also offer fair and fast review by respected, working scientists spanning many disciplines, rapid publishing ensuring that the field has swift access to research, and a publishing decision model based on scientific factors rather than commercial ones.
Readers can benefit from expanded online features, including greater use of images, video, and audio for published articles, as well as continuous content publishing when studies are ready.
Additionally, the journal seeks to provide a high-quality, open-access journal option for the field of neuroscience. As a non-profit publisher, SfN reinvests revenue in programs worldwide that enhance and serve the field.
