Neurology®
The Official Journal of the American Academy of Neurology
Vision: Neurology will be the premier peer-reviewed journal for clinical neurology research.
Mission: Neurology will publish outstanding peer-reviewed original research articles, editorials, and reviews to enhance patient care, education, clinical research, and professionalism.
We publish reports of original research, guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology, in-depth reviews of topics in neurology, and articles on a wide range of issues in neurologic practice, education, and professionalism.
Neurology is published weekly and its circulation exceeds 25,500. It is the most widely read and highly cited peer-reviewed neurology journal with an impact factor of 8.055 (2017).
Manuscripts submitted to Neurology undergo rigorous and thorough peer review. After submission, manuscripts are sent to 2-4 peer reviewers from within Neurology’s reviewer database that have been screened by editorial staff, then reviewed by an Associate Editor, and selected by the Editor.
Neurology® Clinical Practice
An Official Journal of the American Academy of Neurology
Vision: Neurology: Clinical Practice will be the premier peer-reviewed journal for articles that inform clinical neurology practice.
Mission: Neurology: Clinical Practice will provide clinical neurology practitioners with outstanding peer-reviewed articles and commentaries on clinical topics, practice management, and health policy to enhance career satisfaction and optimize patient care.
Neurology: Clinical Practice is a resource for the general neurologist as well as for the subspecialist interested in keeping abreast of the latest diagnostic and therapeutic challenges and advances in other subspecialties. We are committed to helping build a bridge between science and patient care.
Neurology: Clinical Practice is published six times per year.

Neurology® Genetics
An Official Journal of the American Academy of Neurology
Vision: Neurology: Genetics will be the premier peer-reviewed journal in the field of neurogenetics.
Mission: Neurology: Genetics will provide neurologists and clinical research scientists with outstanding peer-reviewed articles, editorials, and reviews to elucidate the role of genetic and epigenetic variations in diseases and biological traits of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Neurology: Genetics publishes high quality peer-reviewed articles, editorials, and reviews in the fields of translational and clinical neurogenetics. This includes articles on rare and common genetic variation, genotype-phenotype correlations, outlier phenotypes as a result of mutations in known disease-genes and genetic variations with a putative link to diseases. In addition, Neurology: Genetics publishes studies reporting on genetic disease risk and pharmacogenomics and results of gene-based clinical trials (viral, ASO, etc.). Genetically engineered model systems are not a primary focus of Neurology: Genetics, but studies using model systems for treatment trials are welcome, including well-powered studies reporting negative results. Each issue also contains invited review articles, editorial commentaries, and reader correspondence.
Neurology: Genetics is published six times per year. It is an open access, online-only journal.
Manuscripts submitted to Neurology: Genetics undergo the same rigorous and thorough peer review as those submitted to Neurology. After submission, manuscripts are sent to 2-4 peer reviewers from within Neurology’s reviewer database that have been screened by editorial staff, then reviewed by an Associate Editor, and selected by the Editor.
