Welcome to the on-line submission and editorial system for NeuroImage.
NeuroImage, A Journal of Brain Function,
provides a vehicle for communicating important advances, using imaging and modelling techiniques to study structure-function relationships
in the brain. The focus of NeuroImage is on brain systems; however, we are happy to consider papers dealing with structure and function
at the microscopic level; if they inform the systems level. The main criterion, on which papers are judged, is to what extent does the
scientific contribution advance our understanding of the mechanisms of brain function and how this function depends upon its structure
and architecture. These mechanism may operate in health and disease; therefore, NeuroImage welcomes clinical neuroscience papers
that are framed to address mechanisms explicitly. The journal publishes original research articles, papers on methods or modelling, theory
and position papers that describe the use of imaging approaches to studying the brain.
While the goal of NeuroImage is
to help further our understanding of the human brain, papers using animal or lesion models to establish the usefulness of different techniques
and ideas are also welcome. The journal strives to incorporate theoretical and technological innovations as part of its publishing remit
and is committed to publishing the highest quality papers in both print and electronic media. The administration of the journal is integrative.
This reflects the fact that imaging neuroscience is a multi-disciplinary science.
Submitted papers will generally be considered
under four sections. These comprise Methods and Modelling, Anatomy and Physiology, Systems Neuroscience and Cognitive Neuroscience. On
occasion, the Editors may reassign a submission from the authors original choice. These four sections reflect fields of specialisation
in neuroimaging and implicitly define the area in which a paper may have its greatest impact. If it is not clear under which Section
a paper should be handled, then we welcome pre-submission enquiries.
GUIDELINES FOR COMMENTS & CONTROVERSIES (for Editors and
authors)
NeuroImage is happy to consider a range of comments and controversy articles. The format of these pieces can include:
A single commentary, editorial or opinion piece.
A target article, with between one and four commentaries. If
the number of commentaries is greater than one, we would normally expect these not to exceed 2000 words in length.
A target article,
commentary (or commentaries) and a response by the original authors. This response would not normally exceed 2000 words in length.
The target article, in all cases, can be invited by an Editor, a member of the Editorial Board or can be endorsed by either following
an unsolicited request from an author. Before proceeding with the target article, it would be appropriate to secure the title, abstract
and anticipated time-frame for submission. Furthermore, suggested reviewers and commentators should be considered. It is generally a
good idea to clarify in advance who will be the reviewers of the target article and commentaries and who will be commentators. The commentators
are usually chosen through dialogue with the author, with the final responsibility resting with the Handling Editor. When these details
have been finalised the Editorial Office (Manpreet Bassan) should be notified, so that we can coordinate and help with logistics.
Submission of the invited target article should follow the procedures detailed under “Invitation to submit an article” in
the author tutorial. Similarly, commentators should be invited to submit a commentary on a manuscript using the protocol under “Submitting
a commentary”.
