Manuscripts that meet the following criteria can be submitted through the Rapid Publication Track in Neuroscience Bulletin.

The Rapid Publication Track allows urgent and competitive research to start peer-review immediately after submission. Peer-review of papers on the Rapid Publication Track can be completed within 1-2 weeks.

Criteria

Neuroscience Bulletin welcomes the following types of submission and will consider their potential for rapid publication. Please send a pre-submission inquiry to the Editorial Office (nsb@ion.ac.cn) before submitting your paper to the Rapid Publication Track.

• Manuscript just rejected from well-known journals after peer review (i.e., Science, Nature series, Cell series, PNAS, J Neurosci, Brain etc.).
• Manuscripts withdrawing from the revision process of other prestigious journals in the field of neuroscience (i.e., J. Neurosci., Mol Neurobiol., Gila etc).
• Manuscripts describing the breakthroughs and competitive researches, strongly recommended by at least one world-recognized experts.

To save the time for manuscript handling and reviewer invitation, the pre-submission inquiry MUST contain: the manuscript accompanied by last reviewer’s comments from other journals, point-to-point responses to these comments, or the recommendation letter.

When approved for ‘Rapid Publication Track’, manuscripts previously considered by other journals can be uploaded to our online submission system ( https://mc03.manuscriptcentral.com/nsb). Reformatting will be required after the paper is accepted for publication.
