15 years ago, Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation published its first articles. After receiving its first impact factor in 2008, it has now developed to be the leading fully open access journal in the field of rehabilitation.
Join our anniversary celebrations by browsing through the journal’s milestone achievements, article and blog highlights, voices from the community, and by reading this commentary from David Reinkensmeyer (Editor in Chief), reflecting on the current state in the field of neuroengineering and rehabilitation, how far it has come since the journal launched and where it could be headed in the future.
Celebrating 15 years of the Journal of Neuroengineering and Rehabilitation!
COVID-19 and impact on peer review
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
Announcing the launch of In Review
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, in partnership with Research Square, is now offering In Review. Authors choosing this free optional service will be able to:
- Share their work with fellow researchers to read, comment on, and cite even before publication
- Showcase their work to funders and others with a citable DOI while it is still under review
- Track their manuscript - including seeing when reviewers are invited, and when reports are received
