About the journal
Neuroimmunomodulation
The rapidly expanding area of research known as neuroimmunomodulation explores the way in which the nervous system interacts with the immune system via neural, hormonal, and paracrine actions.
|
Encompassing both basic and clinical research, 'Neuroimmunomodulation' reports on all aspects of these interactions. Basic investigations consider all neural and humoral interactions from molecular genetics through cell regulation to integrative systems of the body. The journal also aims to clarify the basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of the CNS pathology in AIDS patients and in various neurodegenerative diseases. |
 |
Although primarily devoted to research articles, timely reviews will be published on a regular basis.
 To ensure high quality, all papers will be reviewed by at least two referees, with every effort made to maintain a short publication time.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts
 and all correspondence should be addressed to the Editor:
 George P. Chrousos, MD, FAAP, FACP, MACE Pediatric and Reproductive Endocrinology Branch National Institute of Child Health and Human Development National Institutes of Health Bldg 10, Rm 9D42 Bethesda, MD 20892-1583 (USA) E-Mail: chrousog@exchange.nih.gov

Conditions
 All manuscripts are subject to editorial review. Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication. Submission of an article for publication implies the transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher upon acceptance. Accepted papers become the permanent property of ‘Neuroimmunomodulation’ and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications.
 Manuscripts should be written in English. They should contain unpublished results of research work, and should be as concise as possible. They should be typewritten on ‘letter-quality’ paper printed on one side of the sheet only and double spaced with a wide margin.
 Please send the original and three first-class copies of the manuscript. One set of the original illustrations plus three copies is adequate, except in the case of photomicrographs or other illustrations that do not reproduce well in Xerox or related types of copying equipment. In these instances, it will be necessary to submit four clear prints of each illustration for distribution to the reviewers.

 The final version of your manuscript and illustrations should also be submitted on disk. For details refer to Disk Submission. Editorial review and copy-editing will be executed from the disk version of your manuscript.
 The following presentation is recommended: Abstract, Introductory statement on the purpose of the studies, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and References.
 Commonly accepted abbreviations (e.g. ACTH, TSH, DNA) may be used throughout the text and tables, but a definition should be provided the first time each abbreviation is used. Please limit abbreviations to those in common use, and avoid other abbreviations and acronyms.
 Contributions will generally be printed in order of acceptance for publication.
 Contributors should know that one of the criteria considered in reviewing manuscripts is the humane and proper treatment of animals. The editors realize that the use of anesthetics, analgesics, and tranquilizers would defeat the purpose of some experiments. However, the use of painful or otherwise noxious stimuli must be carefully and thoroughly justified in the paper.
 Papers that do not meet these criteria will not be accepted for publication.

Rapid Communications
 Manuscripts intended for rapid communication must present new findings of sufficient importance to justify their accelerated appearance. Double-spaced manuscripts cannot exceed 7 pages, including figures, tables and references; longer manuscripts will be returned. Rapid communications are subject to the usual editorial review and are published within 2 months following acceptance. Proofs are sent to the Editors and to the authors.

Arrangement
 Title page: The first page of each paper should carry the title, the authors?full first and last names, and the name of the institute or department where the authors conducted their research work.
 In addition, the following should be put on the title page: 1. A short title for use as a running head; 2. A list of 3–9 key words for indexing purposes; 3. The name and complete mailing address as well as phone and fax numbers as well as e-mail address of the individual to whom correspondence, galley proofs, and requests for reprints should be addressed.
 Abstract: Each paper needs an abstract of up to 250 words. Abstracts for Original Papers should be structured with subheadings as follows: Objective(s), Methods, Results, Conclusion(s). The words used in the subheadings of the Abstract are not included in the 250 words of the Abstract.
 Footnotes: Avoid footnotes if at all possible. When essential, they should be numbered consecutively and typed at the foot of the appropriate page.
 Acknowledgments, including, where relevant, credit to the sources of grant support, should be placed before the references.
 Tables and illustrations: Tables (numbered in arabic numerals) should be prepared on separate sheets, and each should have a suitable heading. Illustrations should be numbered in Arabic numerals and legends for the figures should be submitted on a separate page. For the reproduction of illustrations, only good drawings and original photographs can be accepted; negatives or photocopies cannot be used. Due to technical reasons, figures with a screen background should not be submitted. When possible, group several illustrations on one block for reproduction (max. size 181 x 223 mm) or provide crop marks. On the back of each illustration, indicate its number, the author’s name, and ‘top’ with a soft pencil. Electronically submitted b/w half-tone and color illustrations must have a final resolution of 300 dpi after scaling, line drawings one of 800-1200 dpi.

Color Illustrations
 Up to 6 color illustrations per page can now be integrated with the text at the special price of CHF 660.– / USD 545.00 per page. Color illustrations are reproduced at the author’s expense.

References
 In the text identify references by Arabic numerals [in square brackets]. Papers that have been submitted to a journal but are not yet accepted should not be listed in the bibliography, but the data in them can be referred to in the text as unpublished observations. If details of methods are only available in papers that are ‘in press’, copies of the papers should be included with the manuscript submitted to ‘Neuroimmunomodulation’, so that the editorial referees can have adequate information to judge the manuscript. The list of references should include only those publications which are cited in the text. Do not alphabetize; number references in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. The surnames of all the authors followed by initials should be given. There should be no punctuation other than a comma to separate the authors. Preferably, please cite all authors. Abbreviate journal names according to the Index Medicus system. (Also see International Committee of Medical Journal Editors: Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. N Engl J Med 1997;336:309?15.)
 Digital Object Identifier (DOI) S. Karger Publishers supports DOIs as unique identifiers for articles. A DOI number will be printed on the title page of each article. DOIs can be useful in the future for identifying and citing articles published online without volume or issue information. More information can be found at www.doi.org
