Aim and Scope of Neurosurgery Practice
Neurosurgery Practice is the official data science publication of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons. Neurosurgery Practice with code provides a medium for the prompt publication of scientific articles dealing with the application of computer science, data science, augmented reality, or other technologies of interest to neurosurgeons.
Submission Preparation: Neurosurgery Article Types
NOTE: All submissions undergo a “Technical Check” to confirm their adherence to Journal standards. If your submission is not formatted correctly, it will be returned for corrections, delaying peer review. Please format your submission correctly to ensure timely processing. Additional submission preparation information is available in the Neurosurgery Publications Instructions for Authors.
