Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences
Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences is the official journal of the member societies of the Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation, published on their behalf by Cambridge University Press in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1974 and issued six times a year online, it carries peer-reviewed articles across all areas of neurology and the neurosciences.Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences（加拿大神经病学杂志）是加拿大神经科学联合会各会员学会的共同机关刊，由剑桥大学出版社（英国）代为出版，创刊于 1974 年，每年在线出版六期，刊载神经病学与神经科学全部领域的同行评议文章。[1]
Scope
- It publishes peer-reviewed articles across all areas of neurology and the neurosciences. Articles appear in English but abstracts are provided in both English and French.刊载神经病学与神经科学全部领域的同行评议论文，文章以英文发表，但摘要同时提供英文与法文两个版本。[2]
- As the official journal of the Federation, its member societies are the Canadian Neurological Society, the Canadian Neurosurgical Society, the Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists, the Canadian Association of Child Neurology, the Canadian Society of Neuroradiology and the Canadian Stroke Consortium.作为联邦的机关刊，其正式会员学会包括加拿大神经病学会、加拿大神经外科学会、加拿大临床神经电生理学会、加拿大儿童神经病学会、加拿大神经放射学会以及加拿大卒中协作网。*
- Content spans basic laboratory and translational studies through clinically themed papers in neurology, neurosurgery, child neurology and neuroradiology, and also includes original research and commentary in neuroethics.内容跨度自基础实验室研究与转化研究，延伸至神经病学、神经外科学、儿童神经病学与神经放射学的临床主题论文，并包括神经伦理方面的原创研究与评论。*
- Journal policy rests on a plain belief, namely that specialists working on the nervous system share many common interests and have important ideas to communicate to each other.办刊方针基于一项朴素信念，即从事神经系统工作的专科医生彼此拥有大量共同利益，并有许多重要观点需要相互交流。*
- Individual articles are added online as soon as accepted and receive their own digital object identifier, members have exclusive access to the most current year of publication, and all other articles are open access.单篇文章在被接受后即在线上线并获得唯一数字对象标识符，会员对最新一年内容享有专有访问权，其余文章均开放获取。*
该刊的双语摘要安排是其区别于同类刊物的重要制度特征：它既是加拿大神经科学界的内部发表出口，又通过法文摘要使法语读者能够检索和评估其内容。在分区指标上，该刊的表现并不突出，但其不可替代性来自制度层面——加拿大神经科学的五个乃至六个专业学会需要一个共同的发表与交流平台，而该刊正是承担这一职能的载体。它服务的是学科共同体的完整性，而非单一子方向的学术竞争。
History
- 1972 to 1974: The inaugural Canadian Congress of Neurological Sciences was held in Banff, Alberta, after which Dr Robert T. Ross of Winnipeg conceived the journal.

Editors
本刊实行主编与多名副编分掌专科方向的编辑建制。由于它是多个专业学会共有的机关刊，主编的遴选既要考虑神经科学内部的学术分量，也要顾及各会员学会之间的平衡，这一诉求在其编辑部的构成与分工上都有体现。
