Aims & Scope


Neurotrauma Reports is the leading open access journal publishing peer-reviewed articles on a broad range of topics related to both the clinical and laboratory investigation of traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. The Journal focuses on the basic pathobiology of injury to the central nervous system, while considering preclinical and clinical trials targeted at improving both the early management and long-term care and recovery of traumatically injured patients. Studies that cover a limited regional scope or patient population will also be considered, as will review articles. The Journal will publish on a continuous cycle using an Open Access format.
