Journal Guide

Translational Neurodegeneration is a open access, peer-reviewed journal that covers research, therapeutics and education for all aspects of neurodegenerative diseases. It aims to provide an forum for international researchers and practitioners to discuss all areas of neurodegenerative diseases including epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, management and prevention, as well as their molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects. Our goal is to close the gap between basic research and clinical work in neurodegeneration.Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following areas of neurodegenerative diseases: Epidemiology and pathogenesisResearch into diagnosis and preventionResearch into the diease pathogenesis Development of new drugs and cell therapyDrug delivery RehabilitationBy offering a high-visibility forum for new insights and discussions, Translational Neurodegeneration aims to create a novel interface between the fields of basic medical research, translational research and clinical research into Parkinson's disease and movement disorders, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, motor neuron disease, and other related neurodegenerative diseases. It offers the opportunity for basis scientists, clinicians and physician-scientists to publish their research and clinical trials in a journal which is applicable to their specific field.

Translational Oncology publishes the results of novel research investigations which bridge the laboratory and clinical settings including risk assessment, cellular and molecular characterization, prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment of human cancers with the overall goal of improving the clinical care of oncology patients. Translational Oncology will publish laboratory studies of novel therapeutic interventions as well as clinical trials which evaluate new treatment paradigms for cancer. Peer reviewed manuscript types include Original Reports, Reviews and Editorials.

Translational Psychiatry is a sister journal to the well-established and number-one journal in psychiatry, Molecular Psychiatry*, but explores the more translational area between the research in neuroscience and conceptually novel treatments. The editorial team is led by Julio Licinio, MD, and includes a highly respected international editorial board. Together, the Translational Psychiatry editorial team and NPG look to further define and shape the field of psychiatry and neuroscience.

Topics published in Translational Research in Anatomy include anatomy in all of its aspects, especially those that have application to other scientific disciplines including the health sciences:
• gross anatomy
• neuroanatomy
• histology
• immunohistochemistry
• comparative anatomy
• embryology
• molecular biology
• microscopic anatomy
• forensics
• imaging/radiology
• medical education

Priority will be given to studies that clearly articulate their relevance to the broader aspects of anatomy and how they can impact patient care. Strengthening the ties between morphological research and medicine will foster collaboration between anatomists and physicians. Therefore, Translational Research in Anatomy will serve as a platform for communication and understanding between the disciplines of anatomy and medicine and will aid in the dissemination of anatomical research.

The journal accepts the following article types:
1. Review articles
2. Original research papers
3. New state-of-the-art methods of research in the field of anatomy including imaging, dissection methods, medical devices and quantitation
4. Education papers (teaching technologies/methods in medical education in anatomy)
5. Commentaries
6. Letters to the Editor
7. Selected conference papers

All papers should be submitted in English and must be original work that is unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.

Anatomy, neuroanatomy, developmental, biology, surgery, medicine, health care, histology, embryology, translational research, morphology, imaging, radiology, science, integration, molecular biology, basic science, forensics, MRI, 3D imaging

Translational Stroke Research covers basic, translational, and clinical studies. The Journal emphasizes novel approaches in order to help translate scientific discoveries from basic stroke research into the development of new strategies for prevention, assessment, treatment, and repair after stroke and other forms of neurotrauma. Translational Stroke Research focuses on translational research and is relevant to both basic scientists and physicians, including but not restricted to neuroscientists, vascular biologists, neurologists, neuroimagers, and neurosurgeons. The Journal provides an interactive forum for the dissemination of original research articles, review articles, research reports, letters, comments, and research protocols, in stroke and stroke related areas. Its distinguished editorial board is made up of leading stroke researchers and physicians from North America, Europe, and Asia.
