AIMS AND SCOPES

Neural Regeneration Research(NRR; ISSN 1673-5374) is an open-access, peer-reviewed only international journal focusing exclusively on the exciting field of neural regeneration.NRR is devoted to publishing basic research, translational medicine and randomized clinical trial articles,as well as prospective reviews written by invited experts in the fi eld of neural regeneration.NRR publishes a diverse array of topics in neural regeneration, including brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve injuries; neurodegenerative diseases; and neuroimaging.NRR focuses on the latest research advances in axon regeneration, neural plasticity, neural repair/substitution, neural circuit or network construction, neural regulation or signal repair, nerve grafting, and synaptogenesis during the process of nerve injury and regeneration.Papers regarding the treatment of central and peripheral nervous system diseases using cell therapy,gene therapy, neural regulation technique, tissue engineering,bioengineering, medication, and biomaterial/neuroprosthesis applications are of great interest to NRR.The following papers have a higher acceptance rate after submission: those that clearly describe neuronal changes after injury; state how to alleviate neuronal injury and evaluate the injury;explain the procedures and methods of protecting injured neurons;and investigate the mechanisms underlying neuronal injury, prognosis and neural regeneration at the cellular and molecular level.

AUDIENCE

NRR has a strong international focus on neural regeneration and draws attention from neuroscientists who are dedicated to neuroscience, neuroanatomy, neuropathology, neurosurgery, neurology,neurobiology, neuroimaging,neuroradiology and neurorehabilitation.

ACCEPTANCE AND PUBLICATION

After acceptance, the authors have access to inquiries regarding the progress of their manuscript submitted online using the account number assigned to the corresponding author at any time.Generally, accepted manuscripts will be published within 3–4 months after revision; however,research paper with grant-funded or clinical registry is qualified to apply for rapid publication within 1–2 months after revision.

OPEN-ACCESS PUBLICATION

Anyone interested in reading your research can get free access to your paper at www.nrronline.org.The publisher maintains the rights to publish or disseminate part or all contents of your paper.After transfer of copyright, the authors retain the rights.

NRR is co-published by Med-Know, a global open access medical publisher.After publication,the papers online can be rapidly retrieved and exposedviaGoogle Scholar, iPhone, iPad and Android smart phones.Each published paper will be mentioned in science news on EurekAlert! and quickly reach prominent scholars and reporters around the world.
