Advanced Neurology (AN) is a peer-reviewed and open-access journal dedicated to publishing and disseminating novel research in neurology and neuroscience. AN has achieved significant milestones since its inaugural issue in March 2022, including Scopus indexing in October 2024. With its first CiteScore anticipated in 2025, the journal continues to advance the field of neurology.

To further expand AN’s global reach, enhance its scholarly impact, and foster the development of new editorial talent, we are excited to invite young researchers to join our Youth Editorial Board (YEB).
