Author Tip
Neurology strives to publish superb studies in clinical neurology. Peer reviewers' opinions of manuscripts are invaluable in assisting the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors' decisions. In addition to helping assess manuscripts, reviewers recommend areas for the author to address and improve in their manuscripts. Reviewing for Neurology presents opportunities to stay abreast of current research and gain understandings that will improve the quality of your own studies and how you report them. If you are interested in reviewing, contact us at journal{at}neurology.org and include a series of keywords on topics in which you have expertise.
