Czech and Slovak Neurology and Neurosurgery - About the journal

The Czech and Slovak Neurology and Neurosurgery is a medical journal with a record that is unprecedented within the European context.

The periodical is being issued since 1938 (originally as The Czechoslovakian Neurology and Psychiatry). The predecessor journal entitled Revue of Neurology, Psychiatry, Physical and Dietetic Therapy was first published in 1904. Consequently, we use double numbering of volumes (83/116 in 2020).

The Czech and Slovak Neurology and Neurosurgery is the official journal of five Czech and Slovak expert societies: the Czech Neurological Society, Slovak Neurological Society, Czech Neurosurgical Society, Slovak Neurosurgical Society and the Czech Society of Paediatric Neurology.

The journal is intended for all physicians interested in neuroscience, practical or theoretical. The journal also provides useful information for neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiotherapists, psychiatrists, radiologists, anaesthesiologists, surgeons as well as theoretical neuroscientists involved in basic research.

The journal publishes original practice-based as well as basic research-focused neurological and neurosurgical papers, brief communications and case studies, all vigorously peer-reviewed, as well as review papers, commentaries, diagnostic and treatment standards and various thematic series (minimonographs with a knowledge test, statistical or web insights).

Impact factor of the journal Czech and Slovak Neurology and Neurosurgery for 2022 is 0.5.

The journal is indexed in the Index Copernicus, EMBASE/Excerpta Medica Bibliographia Medica Čechoslovaca and the Scopus.

Standard Protocol Approvals, Registrations, and Patient Consents

Humans: In reporting experiments on humans, the authors must indicate in the cover letter and a specific subsection in the Patients and Methods that the procedures were approved by an ethical standards committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) including the name of the ethical committee, date and number of the approval. The Ethics Committee approval protocol must be simultaneously uploaded by the authors as a separate file in the OJS. Authors must comply with the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors with regard to patient consent for research or participation in a study. Do not use study participants' names, initials, or hospital numbers anywhere in the manuscript (including figures). If there was a waiver from your institution’s ethical approval board, please note the waiver in this section and provide documentation to the editorial office that waiver was granted.

In addition to the standard patient consent for participation in research, authors are responsible for obtaining patient consent-to-disclose forms for all recognizable participants in photographs, videos, or other information that may be published in the Czech and Slovak Neurology and Neurosurgery or on the Journal’s Web site. The patient consent-to-disclose form should indicate specific use (publication in the medical literature in print and online, with the understanding that participants and the public will have access) of the participant’s information and any images in figures or videos and must contain the participant’s signature (or that of a legal guardian). Authors must email a copy of the patient consent-to-disclose form when the manuscript is submitted. The original should be retained by the guarantor or Corresponding Author.

Animals: Authors must comply with the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors  with regard to experiments on animals. Authors must indicate in the cover letter and the Materials and Methods that the procedures comply with the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals.

Example:
