Junior Neuroradiology investigators face a rapidly expanding universe of potential journals for manuscript submission. Each journal possesses many unique features, including scope/breadth of research focus, willingness to accept specific types of articles (for example, Review Articles, or Case Reports), status of indexing on major academic indices, scholarly relevance (usually defined as Impact Factor) and access type (Open Access, subscription, or Hybrid Access). An uninformed choice of target journal can burden not only Editors and Reviewers but also increase the effort and frustration level of relatively inexperienced investigators and ultimately result in a worthy manuscript not getting published. In order to assist Junior Neuroradiology investigators in optimizing journal selection for manuscript submission, we provide a Primer that includes background information on all the journal features listed previously. We also provide detailed tabular data for all Radiology, Neuroradiology, and associated Neuroscience Clinical Journals that follow proper academic standards as a quick and useful reference guide for optimal journal selection.
初级神经放射学研究人员面临着一个潜在投稿期刊数量迅速增长的局面。每本期刊都有许多独特的特点，包括研究重点的范围/广度、接受特定类型文章（例如综述文章或病例报告）的意愿、在主要学术索引中的收录情况、学术相关性（通常定义为影响因子）以及获取类型（开放获取、订阅或混合获取）。对目标期刊做出不明智的选择不仅会给编辑和审稿人带来负担，还会增加相对缺乏经验的研究人员的工作量和挫败感，最终导致一篇有价值的稿件无法发表。为了帮助初级神经放射学研究人员优化稿件投稿的期刊选择，我们提供了一份入门指南，其中包括上述所有期刊特点的背景信息。我们还为所有遵循适当学术标准的放射学、神经放射学及相关神经科学临床期刊提供了详细的表格数据，作为优化期刊选择的快速且实用的参考指南。
