Sister journal

ANC is sister journal to Acta Neuropathologica, a journal dedicated to the pathology and mechanisms of neurological disease.

Featured Article: New zebrafish model for ALS/FTD

Shaw et al. generate a novel transgenic zebrafish model to investigate the key pathological profile of human amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/fronto-temporal dementia, providing a valuable tool for future drug discovery.

Why publish with ANC?

No major revisions: only minor revisions are requested that can be performed (and have to be performed) within 3 weeks
Fast, thorough peer review: group of editors selected on the basis of their insightful, dedicated and prompt service
Rapid publication: publication within 2 months of submission
Inclusion in all major indexing services, such as PubMed, MEDLINE and Web of Science
Open access: enabling it to be read by a much larger set of readers, increasing its visibility
Competitive APC: flat article-processing charge, with no page limits, color figure charges or submission fees

Our Commitment to excellent author service

ANC is committed to rapid publication. We aim to publish all research articles within 2 months of submission, subject to authors responding to requests within the required timeframe. If the publication of your article exceeds 2 months from submission, you may be entitled to a full waiver or discount of the article-processing charge on your next submission. For further information, please read our FAQs or contact editorial@actaneurocomms.org

From the Editors-in-Chief

"Acta Neuropathologica Communications is a journal for researchers working on human neurological disease and has a focus on neuropathology. However, since we believe that an interdisciplinary approach is highly valuable to advance the field, our journal is not restricted to classical neuropathological articles. Therefore, we also welcome high-quality submissions from other disciplines as long as they do ultimately aim to advance our understanding of human neurological disease. We try our best to help you with the submission process and in case of any questions do not hesitate to contact the Editors-in-Chief directly."

Johannes Attems, co-Editor-in-Chief, ANC

"The unique combination of human neuropathology with relevant experimental models is essential for understanding the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. Acta Neuropathologica Communications provides a platform for studies that centrally involve human neuropathology and bring new insight in disease mechanisms of neurological diseases using relevant experimental models. We welcome high quality papers that do not require major revisions, resulting in short turn-around times and fast publication. We hope you enjoy Acta Neuropathologica Communications and are looking forward to receive your submissions."
