John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and the American Neurological Association (ANA)
announced today a partnership to launch Annals of Clinical and
Translational Neurology, a new online-only, open access journal.
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology will publish original
research and scholarly reviews focused on the mechanisms and treatments
of diseases of the nervous system; high-impact topics in neurologic
education; and other topics of interest to the clinical neuroscience
community.
The journal is supported by Annals of Neurology, which is owned by the
ANA; co-sponsored by the Child Neurology Society; and published by
Wiley. With a 2013 Impact Factor of 11.193, Annals of Neurology is among
the most prestigious peer-reviewed clinical neurology journals
worldwide. The high selectivity of Annals of Neurology will support the
development of Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology and
provide global community of researchers and clinicians with a dynamic
outlet for scientific and clinical content.
“We are extremely excited to offer a journal that taps into the
extraordinary clinical and translational science that is being conducted
in our neurology departments across the world,” said ANA President Eva
L. Feldman, MD, PhD, the Russell N. DeJong Professor of Neurology at the
University of Michigan. “By offering an open access journal, the ANA can
provide another publishing platform for investigators committed to
understanding and treating disorders of the nervous system. Ultimately
that benefits both the fields of neuroscience and neurology and will
lead to the development of new and much needed therapies.”
John "Jack" Kessler, MD, has been appointed Editor-in-Chief of Annals of
Clinical and Translational Neurology. Dr. Kessler is the Ken and Ruth
Davee Professor of Stem Cell Biology at Northwestern University.
“I am honored and excited to have been chosen to be the editor of this
new journal," Kessler said. "Open access publication of clinical and
scientific advances is becoming more common for biomedical research. The
creation of Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology as a partner
journal to the Annals of Neurology is a timely and exciting new venture
that should greatly enhance the rapid dissemination of high quality
research."
“Wiley has published Annals of Neurology since 2001 and we greatly value
our long-standing and highly successful partnership with the ANA,” said
Shawn Morton, Journal Publishing Director for Medicine at Wiley. “We are
highly optimistic that Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology
will provide a timely means to further extend and develop this
much-valued relationship.”
The journal will publish articles under a Creative Commons License
enabling authors to be fully compliant with open access requirements of
funding organizations where they apply. All articles will be published
open access on Wiley Online Library and deposited in PubMed Central
immediately upon publication.
A publication fee will be payable by authors on acceptance of their
articles. Authors affiliated with, or funded by, an organization that
has a Wiley Open Access Account can publish without directly paying any
publication charges.
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology is available at www.annalsctn.org.
