THE JOURNAL TODAY
Today, the CJNS journal continues to encourage the publication of papers from all branches of the neurosciences. Journal policy is based on the firm belief that specialists working on the nervous system share many common interests and have important ideas to communicate to each other.
The CJNS journal publishes original work in both the clinical and basic neurosciences. The circulation is currently 9,500 and consists of society members, non-members and institutions in Canada, the United States and abroad.
