Beginning with the 2008 volume (volume 10), the journal will increase from quarterly publication to six issues per year. The journal—whose ISI rating and editorial ties with esteemed national and international neuro-oncology societies continue to place it as a preeminent journal in the field—has benefited from an increase in high-quality submissions from all over the world. To be able to include the additional excellent research that supports the mission of the journal, the editors and publisher have opted to increase the frequency of publication. “Increasing our frequency will be a boon to readers and authors alike,” states managing editor Kathryn Carnes. “It will allow us to publish more work—including an increasing amount of important work originating outside the United States—within a faster time frame. It is our hope that these changes will better serve the worldwide community of professionals the journal represents by promoting rapid progress in scientific inquiry and clinical practice related to neuro-oncology.” Underscoring Neuro-Oncology’s importance as a leading journal in neuro-oncology, the 2006 Journal Citation Report recently released by Thomson’s ISI Web of Knowledge assigns Neuro-Oncology an ISI Impact Factor of 4.939. The new ranking—up from 4.150 in 2005—places the journal 14th among 146 ranked clinical neurology journals and 23rd among 127 ranked oncology journals. Neuro-Oncology is the official journal of the Society for Neuro-Oncology, the Japan Society for Neuro-Oncology, the European Association for Neuro-Oncology, and the World Federation of Neuro-Oncology Societies. Dedicated to providing superior and rapid publication of information in all areas of neuro-oncology, the journal contains peer-reviewed articles and reviews, symposia on selected topics, published abstracts of annual meetings, and society news and announcements from around the world.
