Aims and scope

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation provides a forum for researchers and clinicians interested in understanding the way neuroscience and biomedical engineering are continuing to reshape physical medicine and rehabilitation and human movement augmentation. JNER hosts the introduction of new methods and the discussion of their clinical implications, and offers an opportunity to publish, in a timely manner, articles relevant to the intersection of these three fields.

Standards of reporting

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation advocates the complete and transparent reporting of research and methods. Authors are required to follow relevant reporting guidelines and append the appropriate reporting guideline checklist to their manuscript on submission, available from the EQUATOR Network. See BMC’s policy page for further information.

Person-first language

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation recommends the use of person-first language to speak appropriately about individuals with a disability. For example, when referring to a person with a stroke, refer to the person first using a phrase such as 'a person with a stroke' or 'a person who has a stroke'. Avoid terms such as 'victim', 'patient', 'the handicapped', 'the disabled', 'suffering', or 'brain damaged'.

Authors may wish to refer to the ADA guidelines for writing about people with disabilities.

In Review

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation has launched In Review, a new option that provides authors with on-demand information on the status of their manuscript, enables them to share their work with funders and their research community, and allows their colleagues to comment and collaborate - all whilst their manuscript is under review.
