چکیده

IN JULY 2014, A ROTATION of the Journal of Neurophysiology editors occurred. The new editorial team introduced a number of initiatives aimed at increasing the submission of highquality manuscripts to the Journal. Those initiatives included: 1) a new manuscript type, Rapid Reports: complete but short papers with expedited peer review and publication. 2) Addition of the tagline “a multidisciplinary neuroscience journal” to the Journal’s name to emphasize that we publish high-quality papers that provide insights into the physiology of the nervous system regardless of the methodology used in the study. 3) Introduction of “Calls for Papers” to solicit manuscripts in particular “hot” areas of neuroscience. 4) Implementation of “Collections,” virtual journal issues generated from manuscripts accepted for Calls for Papers. 5) Use of social media to highlight selected manuscripts. At a year following the introduction of these initiatives, we evaluated their impact as well as future directions for improvement of the Journal. This analysis is provided below.
