BMC Neuroscience is calling for submissions to our Collection focusing on Early Career Researchers in neuroscience.
Our understanding of brain and nervous system function is constantly evolving, thanks in no small part to the innovative research and unique perspectives shared by early-career neuroscientists. This Collection of BMC Neuroscience aims to continue advancing our understanding of the field by highlighting and showcasing the work of early-career researchers. All topics in neuroscience will be considered, from cellular and molecular neuroscience, to behavioral studies in humans and nonhuman animals. This Collection aims to provide a platform for early-career researchers to showcase their work and contribute to the advancement of the field. We aim to highlight the importance of early-career researchers in shaping the future of neuroscience, and to promote diversity and inclusion in the neuroscience research landscape.
Contributions from early-career neuroscientists, from research fellows to graduate students and Assistant Professors, are welcomed. Submitting researchers must have completed their first terminal degree no more than ten years ago to be eligible for inclusion, and should be listed as the lead author on their contributions.
Springer Nature offers OA funding assistance to qualifying authors, and over 500 institutions have partnered with us to help authors maximize their research funding. Check to see if your university or lab is one such institution by reviewing the full list here. For further assistance with APC related concerns, please review our OA Funding FAQ.
