The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences (CJNS) is the official publication of the six Member Societies of the Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation (CNSF); The Canadian Neurological Society (CNS), Canadian Neurosurgical Society (CNSS), Canadian Society of Clinical Neurophysiologists (CSCN), Canadian Association of Child Neurology (CACN), Canadian Society of Neuroradiology (CSNR) and the Canadian Stroke Consortium (CSC).

The CJNS journal is a widely circulated, internationally recognized medical journal publishing peer-reviewed articles in all disciplines of the neurosciences. The CJNS journal is published in January, March, May, July, September, and November in an online format through Cambridge University Press – Cambridge Core.

The first Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences was published in 1974 in Winnipeg. In 1981, the CJNS journal became
the official publication of the member societies of the CNSF.

THE JOURNAL TODAY

Today, the CJNS journal continues to encourage the publication of papers from all branches of the neurosciences. Journal policy is based on the firm belief that specialists working on the nervous system share many common interests and have important ideas to communicate to each other.

The CJNS journal publishes original work in both the clinical and basic neurosciences. The circulation is currently 9,500 and consists of society members, non-members and institutions in Canada, the United States and abroad.

CNSF Members have exclusive access to the most current year of publication. All other articles are open access.
