In 2023, Dr. Cifarelli completed a special collection on Adjuvant Management of Surgically Resected Brain Tumors, and Dr. Lee from Taipei completed a special collection The role of Surgery and SRS in the era of target therapy and immunotherapy on brain metastasis. Other JNO special collections are underway including one on pituitary adenomas led by Dr. Gab Zada and one about innovation and technology in neurosurgical oncology by Drs. Germano and Cifarelli. In addition, we have launched a young investigators special collection to highlight works of emerging leaders in neuro-oncology. Submissions for these special collections are being sought.
Drs. Shepard and Mehta continue to lead the JNO social media channels. Be sure to follow JNO’s social media on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for the latest updates.
Also, Randy D’Amico continues the very popular JNO webinar series featured on YouTube and Cassyni with DOI’s assigned for each Tumor Talk.
JNO is including more visual abstracts to submissions. These can also be deployed on social media channels to raise awareness of the works published in JNO.
