Editor Register

Join the JNRT editorial board and shape neurological research quality.

JNRT welcomes experienced neurologists, neuroscientists, and clinical researchers who can evaluate scientific rigor and translational relevance. Editors support peer review integrity and guide journal direction.

• Strong publication record in neurology or neuroscience
• Experience with peer review or editorial service
• Commitment to timely, constructive decisions

• Assess scope fit and methodological quality
• Select qualified reviewers and monitor timelines
• Provide clear decision letters and guidance
• Uphold ethics and conflict of interest standards

Editors handle manuscripts in confidence and must avoid any action that could compromise review integrity. If a conflict exists, recuse promptly and notify the editorial office so another editor can be assigned. We follow COPE aligned practices for confidentiality, objectivity, and responsible decision making.

Applications are reviewed for subject expertise, publication record, and alignment with JNRT scope. Editors should be prepared to provide balanced, evidence based decisions.

Expertise in neurological subspecialties or translational research strengthens the application.
