Journal of Neuro-Oncology
Journal of Neuro-Oncology (commonly abbreviated as ''J. Neuro-Oncol.') is a peer-reviewed journal in neuro-oncology published by Springer. It was founded in 1983, first appearing with Nijhoff in Boston in the United States, and joined the Springer family in 2005, which makes it the longest continuously published title in the field. The current editor-in-chief is Jason P. Sheehan, and the 2025 impact factor is 3.4.Journal of Neuro-Oncology（常用缩写 J. Neuro-Oncol.）是 施普林格 出版的神经肿瘤学领域同行评审期刊，创刊于 1983 年，最初由 Nijhoff 出版社在美国波士顿出版，2005 年起转入 Springer 体系，是该领域历史最悠久且从未中断的专业刊物。现任主编为 Jason P. Sheehan，2025 年影响因子为 3.4。[1]
Scope
- Discipline: The journal is multidisciplinary, encompassing basic, translational and clinical investigations in all research areas as they relate to cancer and the central nervous system, and it exists to gather work that would otherwise be scattered across specialist titles.学科定位： 该刊是一份跨学科期刊，涵盖与癌症及中枢神经系统相关的基础研究、转化研究与临床研究，目的是把原本分散在各类专科刊物的成果汇集到同一个发表平台上。*
- Audience: The readership named by the publisher includes neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, neuropathologists, neuroradiologists and laboratory-based scientists conducting related research.目标读者： 官方说明中列出的作者群体包括神经科医师、神经外科医师、放射肿瘤科医师、肿瘤内科医师、神经病理医师、神经放射科医师，以及从事相关研究的实验室科学家。*
- Content: Alongside regular papers the journal publishes special topical issues addressing current challenges and contemporary topics, with recent open calls on connectomics in neuro-oncology, biomarkers for gliomas and chordoma.内容组织： 除常规论文外，刊发针对当前挑战与前沿议题的专题专辑，近年开放的专辑主题包括神经肿瘤学中的连接组学、胶质瘤生物标志物与脊索瘤。*
- Societal backing: The journal is sponsored by the Tumor Section of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, and co-sponsored by a range of learned societies, including the Society of British Neurological Surgeons, the neuro-oncology section of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies, the Chinese Society of Neuro-Oncology, the Korean Neurosurgical Society, the Indian Society of Neuro-Oncology and the Taiwan Society for Neuro-Oncology.学会背景： 期刊由美国神经外科医师协会与神经外科医师大会的肿瘤分会主办，并由英国神经外科医师学会、欧洲神经外科学会神经肿瘤学分会、中国神经肿瘤学会、韩国神经外科医师学会、印度神经肿瘤学会、台湾神经肿瘤学会等多家学会共同协办。*
- Publishing model: It uses a hybrid model in which subscribers read everything free of charge and authors may opt for open access, with manuscripts accepted after peer review.出版模式： 采用混合出版模式，订阅用户可免费阅读全部内容，作者亦可选择以开放获取方式发表，稿件经同行评审后录用。*
中枢神经系统肿瘤是肿瘤学中最依赖多学科协作的领域之一，治疗方案的制定往往同时牵涉神经外科、放射肿瘤、肿瘤内科与神经影像。正因如此，这本刊物把「同一本刊物里能读到其他学科的声音」当作办刊的基本承诺，而它每年十五期的出版节奏与大量的专题专辑，正是为承载这种跨学科篇幅而设置的。这也是它影响因子长期停留在三到四分区间却仍保持可观发文量的原因。
