Letter of Recommendation

As a service to our authors, eNeuro will provide a letter of recommendation to assist with their career progression on behalf of any author who has published a paper in eNeuro upon request. The letter will be signed by the Reviewing Editor of the paper, the Advisory Board member, and the Editor-in-Chief who can say with confidence the articles in eNeuro are highly suitable for the most competitive journals. Email questions and requests to eNeuro@sfn.org.


Media and Embargo Policies

SfN promotes research in its journals by providing embargoed Early Release papers and recently published research to public information officers (PIOs) and reporters. Embargoes offer reporters time to prepare comprehensive, accurate stories before the research is officially released to the public. This lead time allows reporters to research, conduct interviews, and prepare their stories to coincide with publication of the study. This helps protect the public from inaccurate reporting of scientific information.

Authors may elect to have their papers delayed from publishing as an online Early Release PDF for up to 19 days in order to participate in SfN press promotion. This election takes place at submission or if invited to submit a revision by selecting a check box to allow SfN to consider the paper for highlighted promotion to science press. If selected, SfN will ensure that the drafted lay language headline and summary are approved by the corresponding author prior to being released to the media. If an author agrees to the delay, but the paper is not selected to be promoted under the media embargo, the accepted paper will publish online in the normal Early Release timeframe.

Only the eNeuro articles highlighted in the weekly media email sent on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. ET are embargoed for release to the public until 1 p.m. ET on the following Monday. This policy applies to members of the media, authors, PIOs, and anyone else with access to articles to be published in eNeuro. If a reporter contacts an author prior to publication, an author may share the manuscript and speak about it with the reporter as long as both parties agree not to release any information to the public until the embargo lifts.

Contact the SfN Media & Communications Department at media@sfn.org for clarification on the official policies surrounding embargoes or for guidance on talking to reporters about your science


Corrections to Published Articles

Authors who discover errors in articles they have published should have the corresponding author contact the Central Office (eNeuro@sfn.org) with a detailed description of the correction that is needed. Errata will be published at no charge to the authors. Requests for corrections that affect the interpretation or conclusions of a published article will be reviewed by the editors


Retractions of Published Articles

eNeuro will retract an article at the authors’ request unless it is under review for a possible violation of SfN’s Guidelines for Responsible Conduct Regarding Scientific Communication. The retraction notice may simply state that the article has been retracted at the authors’ request, or the authors may provide a brief explanation of the error(s) prompting the retraction. Statements of retraction may not assign blame to specific authors or laboratories. To request a retraction, the corresponding author should contact the Central Office (eNeuro@sfn.org).

In retraction statements, eNeuro clearly distinguishes between author-initiated retractions and those initiated by the editors because of violations of SfN’s guidelines. The editors reserve the right to retract an article at any time after publication without the consent of the authors if an investigation by an appropriate authority reveals a violation of SfN’s Ethics Policy.
