AbstractNeurosurgery journals have played an active role in improving the quality of the neurosurgical literature. This role has expanded to improve the quality of care by incorporating an evidence-based view of neurosurgery practice. Neurosurgery journals have facilitated the organization of knowledge into clinically useful forms via the publication of meta-analyses and dissemination of clinical practice guidelines. Peer review continues to be a core feature of neurosurgery publishing, with attendant ethical and procedural safeguards. Finally, neurosurgery journals have spearheaded innovative responses to cultural and technological changes, including initiatives to deliver high-quality research in electronic formats and support the education of future neurosurgery investigators.Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Inc.
