Manuscript Categories
Original Research Articles
Full-length manuscripts presenting novel findings from clinical studies, laboratory research, or translational investigations. Research articles should provide comprehensive methodological detail, appropriate statistical analysis, and clear clinical or scientific implications. Typical research articles range from 4,000 to 8,000 words.
Review Articles
Comprehensive reviews synthesizing current knowledge on significant topics in spine and neuroscience. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are particularly welcome. Reviews should provide critical analysis rather than simple literature surveys. Prospective review authors are encouraged to contact the editorial office with a brief proposal before full submission.
Case Reports
Clinical case presentations highlighting unusual presentations, diagnostic challenges, innovative treatments, or educational value. Case reports should include appropriate patient consent documentation and follow CARE guidelines. Limited to 3,000 words with maximum 6 figures.
Technical Notes
Brief reports on surgical techniques, procedural innovations, or methodological advances. Technical notes should include sufficient detail for reproducibility and clear outcome assessment.

Detailed Research Areas
Spinal Disorders and Surgery
We welcome research on degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal deformity including scoliosis and kyphosis, trauma and fracture management, tumor surgery, and infection treatment. Studies addressing surgical outcomes, complication rates, and quality of life measures advance evidence-based practice in spine surgery.
Neurological Conditions
Manuscripts addressing movement disorders, neuropathic pain syndromes, neuroimmune disorders, stroke recovery, and neurodegenerative conditions are encouraged. Research bridging basic neuroscience with clinical applications provides translational value to the spine and neuroscience community.
Rehabilitation and Recovery
Studies on neurorehabilitation, spinal cord injury recovery, neuroplasticity, therapeutic exercise, and functional restoration address critical needs for improving patient outcomes following spinal and neurological injury or surgery.
Submission Guidelines
Prepare your manuscript according to JSN author guidelines. Original research should follow IMRAD structure with structured abstracts. Clinical studies should report according to CONSORT, STROBE, or PRISMA guidelines as appropriate. Ensure figures are high resolution and properly de-identified.
JSN particularly encourages submissions presenting innovative surgical techniques, novel therapeutic approaches, interdisciplinary research, and studies demonstrating clinical significance for patient care in spine medicine and neuroscience.
