NEW OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL LAUNCHED

Portland Press Limited and the American Society of Neurochemistry are
pleased to announce the launch of ASN NEURO at the ASN Annual Conference, 7
March in Charleston, SC. This new open access journal will further the
Society's mission to advance, promote, support, encourage and facilitate
communication among investigators in the cellular and molecular neuroscience
community.

ASN have appointed a distinguished member of the international neuroscience
community as the first Editor-in-Chief. Professor Anthony T. Campagnoni, who
holds the Coates Chair in Neuroscience, Semel Institute for Neuroscience &
Human Behaviour, UCLA, has agreed to provide the editorial leadership for
this exciting new addition to scholarly publishing.

ASN NEURO will develop a range of specific knowledge environments to
represent the broader scope and aims of the ASN, namely: Cell, Molecular and
Developmental Neurobiology; Cell Signalling and Neurophysiology: Nervous
System Metabolism; Architecture of the Nervous System; Neurodegeneration and
Neuroprotection; Biology of Glia; Brain Injury and Repair; Inflammation and
Immune Response in the Nervous System.

Institutional Memberships are available to ASN NEURO.

An Institutional Membership will allow researchers to publish in the journal
for a reduced open-access publication fee, making their research freely
available to the entire scientific community and fulfilling the mandates of
grant-awarding bodies.

Authors from institutions with an Institutional Membership will benefit from
a discounted publication charge of $750 (non-member publication charge is
$960). The journal has no other page, submission or colour charges.

To celebrate the launch of this new and exciting journal we are offering a
Special Introductory Institutional Member Rate of only $630/£395/515€
