Call for Submissions: Neurology Clinical Practice
We are pleased to report that a separate online submission and review site for Neurology: Clinical Practice is now up and running (http://submit.cp.neurology.org). We eagerly encourage your contributions for consideration. Manuscripts submitted to this journal undergo the same thorough peer review as Neurology submissions. Please consult our Information for Authors (http://cp.neurology.org/site/misc/authCP.xhtml) for form, style, and submission requirements.
We have established some initial manuscript categories (below) and will expand these as needed. We welcome articles that are not strictly written to meet the specifications of the genres outlined below. All submissions should be geared directly to the practitioner (typically not primary research articles, but could be). Please include a discussion of issues that might be internationally pertinent, e.g., differences in other countries that might affect access and financial considerations, in addition to the medical issues, if they are relevant to the overall content of the article.
Clinical and Ethical Challenges
These articles explore problems faced by the practicing neurologist caring for a complex patient or addressing a challenging clinical problem or ethical dilemma.
Eye on Practice
These articles highlight issues related to office function, such as incorporation of electronic medical records, as well as discussions of health policy issues with special emphasis on changes in health care policy as they affect neurologists.
New Drugs and Devices
These articles apprise the practicing neurologist about new drugs and devices that will affect how they manage their patients' care.
Five New Things
These articles update practicing neurologists on emerging issues in various important fields on topics such as Parkinson disease, multiple sclerosis, gliomas, and stroke.
Cases
Utilizing 2 different formats, short (an interesting image and brief discussion) and long (a full case with longer discussion), these submissions are interesting and timely cases with important teaching points.
Expert Discussion
These articles are opinion pieces solidly grounded in clinical care and the evidence base (or, if not, identified as such). They are meant to inform the reader, stimulate thought, and prompt discussion about clinical care. These often would be in the form of pro vs con discussions.
