Journal of Neurogenetics Gets Its Nobel
The Journal of Neurogenetics is pleased to honor Editor-in-Chief Emeritus Jeffrey C. Hall, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine along with Michael Rosbash and Michael W Young. To celebrate their achievements, we have collected prior Journal of Neurogenetics publications which exemplify both the work of the Laureates themselves as well as the work that they influenced and inspired.
Editor Emeritus Jeffrey C. Hall Wins Nobel Prize
Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W Young win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on the genetic mechanisms which underlie circadian rhythm. Hall served as the second Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Neurogenetics.
The Journal of Neurogenetics (the first of its kind, since 1983)
The Journal of Neurogenetics is your journal IF...
​
-
You have important things to say but it is against conventional wisdom or established dogmas, such as a discovery "before its time"
-
You prefer to show the accurate, total picture even if it may spoil a perfect story
-
You want to communicate useful and important results for the benefit of the practitioners in the field, even though they are not easily incorporated in papers aimed at the general public.
​
Original research papers, Commentaries, Forum and History columns, Invited Reviews, Meeting Highlights, and Meeting Abstracts
-
All previously published papers available online from the very first issue in 1983.
-
No page charge, free online color figures (color figures in printed version at a fee).
-
Online publication within 6-8 weeks following formal acceptance of a submitted paper.
-
One year after online publication, the authors are free to upload the accepted (but unedited) manuscript to the "PubMed Central" to fulfill the requirements for publishing work funded by NIH or Wellcome foundation.
