The AAN is launching a new journal—Neurology ® Education—to be a premier peer-reviewed journal in the field of neurologic and neuroscience education research. The AAN is seeking submissions of papers on these topics. The mission of Neurology: Education is to publish original research articles, reviews, and editorials on evidence-based teaching methods and curriculum innovations, and provide the academic community with a forum to exchange ideas that enhance teaching and training in neurology and neuroscience. José G. Merino, MD, MPhil, FAHA, FAAN, editor-in-chief of the flagship journal Neurology ®, said of the new publication, “There is a need for a rigorous journal that publishes robust research on neurologic and medical education.
