Join the editorial board
Handle manuscripts in your area of neurology, guide independent peer review, and put your name to decisions that shape the field.
What editing for JNRT involves
The same standard applies to everyone who shapes the journal: rigour, transparency and research ethics first.
Assess fit and rigour
Screen submissions in your specialty for scope, methodology and research ethics before and during review.
Run the review
Select and invite qualified, conflict-free reviewers and manage Single-blind (double-blind on request) peer review.
Decide, and sign it
Make clear, evidence-based recommendations; every decision is signed by a named editor.
Uphold integrity
Work to COPE standards, manage conflicts of interest, and recuse where appropriate.
Recognition that counts
An honest account of the value: academic recognition and access, not payment.
Named recognition
A listed seat on the editorial board with your own profile page on the journal.
Standing in your field
A visible editorial role in the neurology literature, citable in your record of service.
At the frontier
Early sight of new research and a hand in what the field publishes.
Review recognition
Editorial and review activity can be recognised via your ORCID record.
Appointed by invitation or vetted application
JNRT does not run open self-registration. Every editor is checked for subject expertise, publication record and conflicts of interest before any manuscript is assigned.
How we appoint
Appointments are by invitation or vetted application, never open self-registration. We review every applicant publication record, subject expertise and standing before appointing, so the board stays genuinely matched to the journal scope.
- A current CV and your ORCID iD
- Your specific areas of expertise within neurology
- A note on relevant editorial or review experience
Send your CV, ORCID iD and a short note on your areas of expertise to [email protected]. We review every application for fit before appointing, so this is a request to be considered, not an automatic listing.
