African Journal of Neurological Sciences

About this journal

The African Journal of Neurological Sciences (AJNS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original research, reviews, and case reports in the field of neurology, neurosciences, and related disciplines across the African continent. Its scope encompasses a wide range of neurological disorders, including epilepsy, stroke, dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, neuroinfections, neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurotrauma. The journal is particularly interested in research that addresses the unique neurological challenges and complexities faced by populations in Africa, including endemic diseases, socioeconomic disparities, and access to healthcare.

Key themes explored in AJNS include epidemiology, clinical practice, diagnosis, treatment, and management of neurological conditions in the African context. The journal also publishes articles on the neurobiology of diseases, neurogenetics, neuroimaging, neurorehabilitation, neuroethics, and the impact of public health policies on neurological disorders. AJNS strives to provide a platform for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to share their knowledge, experiences, and insights on the neurological landscape in Africa.

The target audience of AJNS includes neurologists, neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, neuropharmacologists, neuroepidemiologists, neurorehabilitation specialists, public health professionals, and other healthcare professionals interested in neurological disorders in Africa. The journal's open access policy ensures that research findings are readily accessible to a global audience, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange across continents.

AJNS has established itself as a prominent platform for disseminating research on neurological sciences in Africa, contributing significantly to the understanding and management of neurological disorders in the region. The journal's growing impact is reflected in its increasing citation rate, expanding readership, and influential role in shaping neurological research and practice within Africa. By promoting scientific excellence and fostering collaboration, AJNS plays a vital role in advancing neurological care and improving the lives of individuals affected by neurological conditions in Africa.
