JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR NEUROSCIENCE

The Journal of Molecular Neuroscience (ISSN 0895-8696) is a monthly peer-reviewed academic journal published by Springer in the United States, dedicated to advancing understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the structure and function of the nervous system. As an SCI-indexed publication, it serves as a platform for original research exploring critical areas such as neurodegenerative diseases, neural development, synaptic plasticity, and signal transduction, with a particular emphasis on elucidating the molecular basis of neurological disorders. While the journal maintains a recognized standing within the field of molecular neuroscience, its impact factor has recently fluctuated between 2 and 3, and it is typically classified in the third or fourth quartile of the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking in the medical and neuroscience categories. Although it is not an open-access journal, it remains a viable venue for researchers seeking to disseminate high-quality studies that align closely with its specific scope, provided that authors carefully consider its moderate academic influence and competitive review processes when selecting a publication outlet.
