Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that aims to identify key molecules underlying the structure, design and function of the brain across all levels. Specialty Chief Editors Robert J. Harvey at the University of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, and Jochen C. Meier at the Technische Universitat Braunschweig, Germany, are supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics and the public worldwide. Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology and Code. All manuscripts must be submitted directly to Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty journal. Articles published in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in the Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community of the field.
