Fast-track publicationAll original research Articles judged eligible for consideration by the journal's staff will be peer-reviewed within 72 h and, if accepted, published in 4-8 weeks. All accepted Articles will be published online first before appearing in the print journal. The online article does not differ from the version subsequently published in print and is citable by the digital object identifier (DOI) assigned at the time of online publication. All other manuscripts will be peer-reviewed via our standard process. The journal now has an online submission and peer review website (EES). To submit a paper, point your internet browser to http://ees.elsevier.com/thelancetneurology and follow the on-screen instructions. If you have not used EES previously, you first need to visit the site and register. In EES, the corresponding author is the person who enters the manuscript details and uploads the submission files. Submissions to The Lancet Neurology should include: covering letter, manuscript, figures, conflicts of interest statements, acknowledgments, and details of any personal communications. We encourage disclosure of correspondence from other journals and peer reviewers, if previously submitted, and we might contact relevant editors of such journals. Should your paper be selected for further consideration, we will then ask you to send hard copies of the following documents: covering letter (signed by all authors), conflicts of interest statements, signed patient's consent and permission to publish, acknowledgments (written consent of cited individual), personal communications (written consent of cited individual), and use of copyright-protected material (signed permission statements from original publishers). To minimise delays in the peer-review process, we strongly advise that the signed copies of these documents are prepared before you submit your manuscript. If you do not have access to the internet, send your manuscript on disk and all signatures and statements to The Lancet Neurology, 32 Jamestown Road, London, NW1 7BY, UK. |
