0304-3940 / 1872-7972
Aims and Scope
Neuroscience Letters is devoted to the rapid publication of short, high-quality papers of interest to the broad community of neuroscientists. Only papers which will make a significant addition to the literature in the field will be published. Papers in all areas of neuroscience - molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioral and cognitive, as well as computational - will be considered for publication. Submission of laboratory investigations that shed light on disease mechanisms is encouraged. Special Issues, edited by Guest Editors to cover new and rapidly-moving areas, will include invited mini-reviews. Occasional mini-reviews in especially timely areas will be considered for publication, without invitation, outside of Special Issues; these un-solicited mini-reviews can be submitted without invitation but must be of very high quality. Clinical studies will also be published if they provide new information about organization or actions of the nervous system, or provide new insights into the neurobiology of disease. NSL does not publish case reports.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
The editor was very friendly and the reviewers were professional. However, it seemed like the reviewers were inclined to reject. After three rounds of review, only one reviewer's opinion remained, and that opinion led to my rejection. Despite making two major revisions, I still couldn't satisfy the reviewer. Each review process took about 20 days, and the whole process lasted nearly three months, only to end in rejection.

Need to fill in 15 reviewers, basically one of them will be selected, so it is more friendly to the authors. Myself and my colleagues have been reviewing for over a month, and after making revisions, the papers are basically accepted. It takes more than 2 months, and for small articles with 4-6 small figures, you can give it a try.
