Message from the Editors to our Reviewers

Between April 1, 2016, and September 30, 2016, Neurology ® received 2,565 new and 650 revised manuscripts (compared to 2,366 new and 646 revised manuscripts during this same period in 2015). We received 4,461 peer reviews (compared to 4,645 during the same period in 2015) for these papers. We can accept only a minority of submitted manuscripts and must often make extremely difficult decisions regarding which articles we believe will most benefit readers and improve patient care. Your thoughtful comments regarding uniqueness of study populations, novel methods, studies that are especially educational, or new strategies for diagnosing and treating neurologic disease are highly appreciated. We thank you also for your cooperation in returning reviews in a timely manner.
