Instructions for Uploading Neurology Journal Revisions

Effective May 16

Dear Authors,

We appreciate your patience in helping us make a successful transition to our new Manuscript Tracking System!

As previously announced, we are closing our current Bench>Press manuscript tracking system and moving to eJournalPress. The Bench>Press system will be closed to Revised Manuscript submissions on May 15 (12:00 AM ET, without exception). If you received a revision letter dated April 10 or later, a placeholder manuscript ID number was assigned to you in eJournalPress. If you have not received a notification, please e-mail journal@neurology.org.

Please upload your Revised Manuscript to the site that corresponds with the original submission:
