Disputes & Debates

The exchange of ideas is like pollination, encouraging the growth of knowledge and discovery. With Neurology's Disputes & Debates, you can join this open online communication and share your opinions and questions on articles featured in Neurology.

Whether you are a veteran neurology professional, resident, or fellow—you are encouraged to present your own findings, ask a question, or comment on methodology, results, or conclusions featured in recently published articles. Many exchanges are published in later print issues of Neurology in the section called Disputes & Debates: Editors' Choice.

Letters should be submitted within 6 months of issue date, but the editors will consider a longer time period for submission if they consider the letter a significant addition to the literature.

"The Disputes & Debates section not only serves as a way for readers to interact with published content, but as the avenue for continued peer review after publication. In the field of neurology, new information comes quickly—sometimes so quickly that the publication process cannot keep pace. Having the means to continue review on published content allows every article to be a living text and every reader to be a peer reviewer."
