Scope

• Only original papers count as the journal's stock in trade, and each one has to be useful for research and for clinical practice at the same time.该刊只收原创论文，且每篇都须同时对研究与临床实践有用。

• Clinical neurosurgery supplies the core, beginning with diagnosis and the techniques that support it.临床神经外科构成核心，从诊断以及支撑诊断的技术开始。

• Operative surgery and its outcomes take up a second block of the remit, and postoperative treatment completes the clinical triangle.手术及其结果占据范围的第二块，术后治疗补足这个临床三角。

• Neuroscience research is accepted when the underlying question or the result carries neurosurgical weight.神经科学研究只要其问题或结果具有神经外科意义，也在接受之列。

• The journal describes itself as quality-focused, and it asks every contribution to meet high scientific and ethical standards.该刊自述以质量为先，要求每篇稿件达到较高的科学与伦理标准。

• Practice-oriented content has an explicit place, and the How I Do It format is named in the aims.面向实践的内容有明确位置，How I Do It 这一体裁就写在办刊宗旨里。

• Articles are grouped into topical subdisciplines, which lets a reader move through skull base, spine, vascular, tumour and functional work without hunting.文章按主题亚专科归拢，读者不必费力搜寻即可在颅底，脊柱，血管，肿瘤与功能等领域之间穿行。

• Recent issues have carried vestibular schwannoma surgery, degenerative cervical myelopathy and idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, which shows the clinical spread.近期各期刊出过前庭神经鞘瘤手术，退变性颈椎病与特发性正常压力脑积水，可见临床覆盖面之广。

• Molecular work enters when it bears on surgical decisions, as with papers on DNA methylation profiling for high-grade glioma.分子层面的工作只要关系到手术决策就会进入版面，例如高级别胶质瘤的 DNA 甲基化分型研究。

• Technical reports sit beside research articles, so a new device or a modified approach can be described on its own terms.技术报告与研究论文并列，新器械或改良术式可以按自身逻辑单独成文。

• Case reports remain in the menu, and they are expected to yield a general lesson rather than an anecdote.病例报告仍在栏目之列，且须给出可推广的启示，而非一则轶事。

• Randomised trials and registry analyses appear alongside single-centre series, which keeps the methodological range wide.随机试验与登记库分析同单中心系列研究并存，方法学跨度因此保持得较宽。

• The journal states that its readership is global and its publication record international, and the board list bears that out.该刊称读者遍布全球，发表记录具有国际性，编委名单也印证了这一点。
