Open access allows your JNO publication to be more easily accessed by clinicians and researchers. Publications from participating institutions and countries results in free open access for your research as compared to thousands of dollars per article charged by other journals in this space.

New JNO special collections launched for 2023 include one by Dr. Cifarelli for Adjuvant Management of Surgically Resected Brain Tumors and Dr. Lee for The role of Surgery and SRS in the era of target therapy and immunotherapy on brain metastasis. Another JNO special collection is under development by Drs. Germano and Cifarelli on behalf of the AANS and CNS Tumor Section. Submissions for these special collections are being sought.

Special thanks to Drs. Mehta and Shepard for their help with the JNO Social Media sites. Also, Randy D’Amico continues the very popular JNO webinar series featured on YouTube and now on Cassyni with permanent and citable DOI’s assigned for each Tumor Talk. Tumor Talk’s success was recently featured in a short communication in the JNO at the following link https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11060-022-04219-w .  Additional reports on a Tumor Section social media survey and one on the JNO Social Media trends were led by Dr. Shepard and are under review.
