• 主编简介1: Patricia S. Goldman-Rakic(1937-2003). She was married to Pasko Rakic, the other FOUNDING EDITOR of the Journal of CEREBRAL CORTEX. She is known for pioneering multidisciplinary research of the prefrontal cortex and working memory.
• 主编简介2: Pasko Rakic. 南斯拉夫裔美国神经科学家，耶鲁大学医学院神经科学系教授。个人简介。Rakic is known for his studies of the development and evolution of the brain. More specifically, he has discovered and formulated basic cellular and molecular mechanisms of proliferation and migration of neurons in the cerebral cortex（发现并论证了大脑皮层中神经元增殖与迁移的细胞和分子机制）.

Part1 Basic information of CEREBRAL CORTEX

• Scope
  The journal publishes papers on the development, organization, plasticity, and function of the cerebral cortex, including the hippocampus as well as the thalamocortical relationship（丘脑皮层之间的关系） and cortico-subcortical interactions（皮层-下皮层的交互）. The journal is multidisciplinary and welcomes studies that address major issues of general significance using modern neurobiological and neuropsychological techniques, including neuroanatomy, biochemistry, molecular neurobiology, electrophysiology, behavior, theoretical modeling, and brain imaging and/or electroencephalographic studies on developing and adult humans.
• Type
  1. Research articles.
  2. Brief reviews, book reviews, and commentaries. Special features and occasional special issues dedicated to well defined subjects.
  3. CEREBRAL CORTEX's acceptance rate is the top of 15-20%.
  4. Page charges: US$60 per page.
  5. Submission Fees: US$75.

Part2 Style and format for articles

The final acceptance of papers depends not just on technical merit, but also on subjective ratings of the novelty, quality of the data and significance to the field.

• Funding
  This should appear before the "Acknowledgments" section. More details please click here.
• Feature articles
  • Feature articles can range in length from 2- to 3-page commentaries to full-size review articles of 15-20 pages.
  • Showcase new and exciting developments for addrrssing controversial issues, to present brief focused reviews on selected topics, or to introduce new technical developments in other fields that can benefit research on the corebral cortex or bring forward new developments in the relationship between clinical and basic science.
• Organization of manuscripts( in a .doc or .rtf format )
  • Title pages
  • Abstracts
  • Keywords
  • Introduction
  • Materials and Methods
  • Results
  • Discussion
  • Acknowledgments
  • References used
  • Tables
  • Captions to figures
  • Supplementary Material must be separate from the main document file.
• Abstracts: should be no more than 200 words;
• Keywords: up to five; should not repeat words that appear in the title.
• Introduction: without a separate heading; should indicate the objectives, significance or hypothesis, when applicable, and a concise summary of the background of the study. Lengthy reviews of the status of the field are discouraged in research articles.
• References used:
  • Name-year citation style from Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (7th ed.) for style.
  • References should be cited in the text as "Experiments by Author (Author 1989) have demonstrated..." or "...as reported earlier (Author and Author 1985; Author 1985, 1986a, 1986b; Author et al. 1986)" and should be listed chronologically when multiple citations are grouped. In the list of references, works cited should be ordered alphabetically according to first author surname and chronologically where several papers by the same author are cited. In the list of references, journal articles should be listed as follows: Author A, Author B. 1989. Title. Journal. 21:100-131.
• Tables
  • only data essential in illustrating important points should be included;
  • Tables should be created with the table function of a word processing program; spreadsheets are not acceptable;
    double-spaced, each table on a separate page;
    place the tables in order after the reference section
• Figures
  • .tif or .eps files.
  • type area of a printed page is 240 (height) x 180 mm (width) and figures, including their legends, should not exceed this area.
  • A single column is 86 mm wide; a double column is 180 mm wide. Ideally figures should fit either a single or a double column.
• Color Figures
  • US$600 per figure；
  • Authors should not submit color figures unless in agreement to pay.
  • Black & white figures may not be substituted for color figures after a manuscript has been reviewed and accepted.
  • Authors of accepted manuscripts containing color figures will be obligated to pay the color figure charges.
• Black and white/Grayscale images
  • Faint and gray lines, shading, or stippling will be lost upon reproduction and should be avoided;
  • shadings should be ensure that it is easy to differentiate between them;
  • stippling should be made up of clear black dots with visible white space between them.
• Submission of Figures
  • figures must be saved in TIFF or EPS format at a resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch at the final printed size for color and grayscale figures and photographs, and 600-1200 pixels per inch for black and white line drawings.
  • Digital color art should be submitted in CMYK rather than RGB format.
