Instructions to authors
EDITORIAL POLICY AND MISSION
Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria is the official journal of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology, which publishes, monthly, peer-reviewed articles in the areas of Neurology and Neurosciences.
The journal's mission is to, the best of our abilities, contribute to improving care for patients with neurological diseases by providing neurologists, health professionals and researchers in Neurology and related fields with open access to original articles (clinical and translational research), editorials, views and reviews, historical papers, neuroimages and letters about published articles. We aim to be the best Neuroscience journal in Latin America within the peer review system.
Case reports and articles in the areas of Neurosurgery or Psychiatry are not within the scope of this journal.
The journal supports the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), available at: http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/.
The journal also supports international standards for the publication of responsible research, developed by COPE - Committee on Publication Ethics (http://publicationethics.org/).
Practices that undermine scientific integrity, such as plagiarism and self-plagiarism (redundancy), are considered unethical. Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria adopts the iThenticate System (http://www.ithenticate.com) to identify plagiarism.
As of 2020, the journal started accepting the submission of manuscripts previously deposited on preprint servers. For the submission of these manuscripts, it is essential that the authors inform the deposit details in the cover letter.
REVIEW PROCESS
Initially, the manuscripts submitted to Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria are evaluated to verify compliance with the scope and formal aspects. In case of non-compliance with the scope, such as case reports and articles in the areas of Neurosurgery or Psychiatry, the manuscripts will be rejected and the authors will be informed. Manuscripts that do not comply with the standards and formats specified in this document, on the other hand, will be returned for the appropriate adjustments.
The manuscripts approved in the evaluation of the scope and formal aspects are sent to the editors-in-chief who carry out a preliminary evaluation of the manuscripts, based on criteria of originality, relevance of the topics covered and methodological quality. In this stage, a second member of the Editorial Board will be called upon, in case of non-compliance with the minimum quality criteria.
The manuscripts approved in the preliminary evaluation will be forwarded to the Associate Editors of their respective areas, for indication of the reviewers. In the case the Associate Editor evaluates that the manuscript has merits, it will be sent out for evaluation by two or more external reviewers, in simple blind peer review mode.
Currently, approximately 40% of the manuscripts submitted to the Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria are approved for publication.
