• Scope：

  CORTEX is an international journal devoted to the study of cognition and of the relationship between the nervous system and mental processes, particularly as these are reflected in the behaviour of patients with acquired brain lesions, normal volunteers, children with typical and atypical development, and in the activation of brain regions and systems as recorded by functional neuroimaging techniques.

• Type：

  • Article（Research report）：These submissions must report important and novel material. No word or reference limit.
  • Editorial（社论）：Editorials will be solicited by the Editors. Authors wishing to submit an editorial should first seek the advice of the Editors. An editorial could also be linked to the cover, explaining its relevance to the readers.
  • Review：Present a critical appraisal of the literature on a research issue. No word or reference limit.
  • Case report：This section publishes important and novel material using a single case or multiple single cases approach, reporting detailed description of signs and behaviour.
  • Letter：These are short reports (up to 1,000 words, plus one figure or table and no more than 15 references) with no abstract. These short articles will benefit from a fast track, and, if accepted following the peer-reviewing process, will be published more swiftly than full-blown research papers.

• Open Access

  • Subscription：
    No open access publication fee payable by authors.
  • Gold open access：
    • Articles are freely available to both subscribers and the wider public with permitted reuse.
    • The gold open access publication fee for this journal is USD 3000, excluding taxes.A gold open access publication fee is payable by authors or on their behalf, e.g. by their research funder or institution.

    • E-mail address
    • Full postal address（通讯地址）

• All necessary files have been uploaded:

  • Manuscript:
    • Include keywords
    • All figures (include relevant captions)
    • All tables (including titles, description, footnotes)
    • Ensure all figure and table citations in the text match the files provided

    Graphical Abstracts / Highlights files (where applicable)
    Supplemental files (where applicable)

Part3 Style and format for articles

---

• Formatting requirements

  There are no strict formatting requirements but all manuscripts must contain the essential elements needed to convey your manuscript, for example Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusions, Artwork and Tables with Captions. If your article includes any Videos and/or other Supplementary material, this should be included in your initial submission for peer review purposes. Divide the article into clearly defined sections.

• Article structure

  • Subdivision - numbered sections

    Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
    
    

  • Keywords

    Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 5 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, 'and', 'of'). Be sparing with abbreviations（缩略语）: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible.

• Figures and tables embedded in text

  Please ensure the figures and the tables included in the single file are placed next to the relevant text in the manuscript, rather than at the bottom or the top of the file. The corresponding caption should be placed directly below the figure or table.

  • Table

    Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells.
    
    

• Figure

  1、Electronic artwork
  (1)General points
  • Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.（字母大小统一）
  • Preferred fonts: Arial (or Helvetica), Times New Roman (or Times), Symbol, Courier.（字体）
  • Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.（图的排序）
  • Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.（命名规范）
  • Indicate per figure if it is a single, 1.5 or 2-column fitting image.
  • For Word submissions only, you may still provide figures and their captions, and tables within a single file at the revision stage.（图、表在单独的文件中）
  • Please note that individual figure files larger than 10 MB must be provided in separate source files.
  (2)Formats
  Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please 'save as' or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings,halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):
  • EPS (or PDF): Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as 'graphics'.
  • TIFF (or JPG): Color or grayscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.
  • TIFF (or JPG): Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.
  • TIFF (or JPG): Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.
  Please do not:
  • Supply files that are optimized for screen use (e.g., GIF, BMP, PICT, WPG); the resolution is too low.
  • Supply files that are too low in resolution.
  • Submit graphics that are disproportionately（不成比例地） large for the content.
  2、Color artwork
  Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF (or JPEG), EPS (or PDF) or MS Office files) and with the correct resolution.Cortex will publish colour figures at no cost for the authors when strictly necessary (e.g., neuroimaging or original colour drawings of patients).
