review procedure

The Neuro – Open Journal is committed to advancing the field of neuroscience through the publication of high-quality research. To uphold the integrity and scholarly standards of our journal, we implement a comprehensive and rigorous peer review process. Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts via our online submission platform, where each submission undergoes an initial screening to ensure compliance with the journal's scope, formatting guidelines, and ethical standards. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be returned to the authors without further review. Following this initial assessment, the manuscript is assigned to an editorial team member for a preliminary evaluation, focusing on relevance to the journal's focus, originality, and overall quality of writing.

If the manuscript passes this initial editorial assessment, it is forwarded for peer review. The editor selects two to three independent experts in the relevant field to evaluate the manuscript, ensuring that reviewers are chosen based on their expertise, publication history, and absence of conflicts of interest with the authors. Reviewers assess the manuscript based on several critical criteria, including scientific rigor, significance, clarity and structure, and ethical considerations. They are typically allotted 2-4 weeks to complete their evaluations, although this timeline may vary based on the complexity of the manuscript and the availability of the reviewers.

Upon completion of the review, each reviewer submits a detailed report that includes their recommendations. The possible outcomes of the review process include acceptance without revisions, minor revisions, major revisions, or rejection. The editor carefully considers the feedback from all reviewers and makes a final decision regarding the manuscript, notifying authors of the outcome along with constructive comments and suggestions. If revisions are requested, authors are provided with a specified timeframe to submit their revised manuscript, and they are encouraged to address all reviewer comments thoroughly.

Once the manuscript meets the journal's standards and all reviewer comments have been satisfactorily addressed, it is accepted for publication. Authors will receive proofs of their article for final approval before it is published in the journal. After publication, the article will be accessible to the global research community through the journal's platform, and authors are encouraged to promote their work through various channels to enhance visibility and impact. We appreciate the contributions of our authors and reviewers in maintaining the quality and integrity of the Neuro – Open Journal.
