Editorial and corrections policy
The evidence, review, disclosure, correction, and publication standards of The Neurology Journal.
Evidence and review
Topics begin with authoritative primary sources. Drafts must map material claims to verified source identifiers and pass separate accuracy and clinical-safety audits.
A human evidence reviewer verifies the sources and department-specific checks. A senior editor accepts clinical responsibility for the exact revision. A managing editor performs the final release action.
Publication safeguards
- No more than one article may be released per day and seven per week.
- All departments use review mode; Law & Liability is permanently manual.
- A global kill switch can stop every publication immediately.
- AI-generated text is never published automatically.
Disclosures, corrections, and retractions
Relevant author, reviewer, vendor, funding, and sponsorship conflicts are disclosed with the article. Medical and legal disclaimers remain public even on member-only articles.
Material corrections and retraction reasons are displayed publicly. A changed article requires a new revision, new content hash, and fresh approvals.
