Submission Guidelines
Please note that articles submitted to the journal are required to pay an Article Publishing Charge (APC) of US$2800 on acceptance, unless a waiver has been granted. All papers will be published under an open access license. More information on this APC can be found here.
Before submitting please make sure that your article fits into the Aims and Scope: The primary focus of any submitted work should always be on Parkinson's disease or atypical parkinsonism. Research studies that focus on more heterogeneous populations, and where Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism is included merely as one of various conditions, and that do not have an explicit focus on issues related specifically to Parkinson's disease, will not be considered for publication.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS: AUTHOR INSTRUCTIONS
Please follow the directions of the peer review submission system. You can submit your files (document, figures, supplementary files) separately in the system, and the system will generate a final pdf for your approval. Resubmissions should include the author's replies to the reviewer comments in the revised manuscript itself (at the top) and should clearly show the changes throughout the document, for instance, by highlighting the changed text. The revised paper should always be a Word document.
Submission of an article is understood to imply that the article is original and unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. If your article has been published as a pre-print, it would be helpful to the Editor if you mention this in the cover letter. Any possible conflict of interest, financial or otherwise, related to the submitted work must be clearly indicated in the manuscript. Procedures involving experiments on human subjects should be in accord with the ethical standards of the Committee on Human Experimentation of the institution in which the experiments were done or in accord with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975. Procedures involving experimentation on animal subjects should be in accord with either the guide of the institution in which the experiments were done, or with the National Research Council’s guide for the care and use of laboratory animals.
If the address to which proofs should be sent is different from the correspondence address, authors are kindly requested to indicate this. Both the editor and the publisher should be informed of any changes in either or both of these addresses. Please also supply a direct telephone number if available.
