Submitting to Journal of Neuroradiology goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the Journal of Neuroradiology guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to Journal of Neuroradiology. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the Journal of Neuroradiology journal page before you draft.
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the Journal of Neuroradiology guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the Journal of Neuroradiology guide for authors before you submit.
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through Editorial Manager.
| Element | Journal of Neuroradiology requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Structured abstract required for original research articles (300 words maximum). The structured abstract should provide context/background, state the purpose of research, outline basic procedures (selection of study subjects or laboratory animals and observational/analytical methods), include main findings with specific effect sizes and statistical significance if possible, present principal conclusions, and emphasize new and important aspects of the study. Technical notes: 100 words. Review articles: 200 words. Letters to the Editor: No abstract (the title serves as abstract). Neuro-Interventional Videos: 200 words maximum. General guideline: Concise and factual abstract not exceeding 250 words. |

Read the Journal of Neuroradiology guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to Journal of Neuroradiology in under a page.
Skim two or three recent Journal of Neuroradiology papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the Journal of Neuroradiology journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the Journal of Neuroradiology guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
