Manuscript Readiness and Data Quality
Strong IJNN submissions present a clear computational hypothesis, rigorous methods, and transparent reporting. Whether you are describing data pipelines, algorithm benchmarking, or model validation, we recommend clear study design statements and complete methodological detail so reviewers can evaluate reproducibility.
Figures and tables should communicate the data and algorithm story with precision. Use high resolution images, report replicates and statistical tests, and include negative and positive controls where relevant. Data availability statements should describe repositories, accession numbers, or how readers can access supporting datasets.
For studies involving human participants or animal models, include ethics approval identifiers and compliance statements. We also welcome pre registered studies and encourage structured reporting standards when available for your research area.
Readiness Checklist
- Clear hypothesis and neuroinformatics scope
- Complete methods and instrument details
- Replicates, statistics, and controls
- Data availability and accession links
- High resolution figures and tables
- Ethics approvals and disclosures
Submission Expectations and Ethics
We prioritize research integrity, reproducibility, and clarity of reporting. Manuscripts must be original, ethically conducted, and prepared according to journal standards.
All submissions undergo editorial checks for scope, data integrity, and ethical compliance before peer review.
Provide complete methods, data availability statements, and clear documentation to support reproducibility.
We accept original research, reviews, short communications, methods papers, and technical reports.
Peer review focuses on scientific rigor, novelty, and contribution to the neuroinformatics research community.
Editorial Workflow and Visibility
After submission, manuscripts receive an editorial assessment and are assigned to subject editors for peer review. Our goal is to deliver a timely first decision while maintaining rigorous evaluation standards.
Accepted articles are professionally produced in HTML, PDF, and XML formats and are integrated with DOI registration and indexing metadata. This ensures your work is discoverable through academic search engines and citation networks.
Authors receive clear status updates at key stages, and revision guidance focuses on scientific clarity, data integrity, and neuroinformatics significance. Once published, articles are promoted through journal channels to increase visibility across academic, clinical, and industrial audiences.
IJNN welcomes thematic special issues in emerging neuroinformatics areas. If you are organizing a research community or conference track, contact us about proposing a special issue or serving as a guest editor.
Visibility Benefits
- Open access distribution worldwide
- Crossref DOI registration
- Indexing and metadata optimization
- Long term digital preservation
- Professional production standards
- Support for special issue promotion
Article Processing Charges
IJNN follows an open access publishing model. An Article Processing Charge is applied only after acceptance and supports peer review management, production, and long term access. Membership options provide APC savings for research teams with ongoing publication plans.
For full APC details, waivers, and membership benefits, visit the APC page or contact our team for guidance on institutional and funder requirements.
If your institution requires documentation for funding or compliance, we can provide pro forma invoices, receipts, and confirmation letters. Laboratory and departmental memberships are designed to reduce per article costs and simplify budgeting for research groups that publish regularly in neuroinformatics and neuroscience.
