We would like to advise our subscribers, readers, and authors that the name “AJNR” is being used without permission by another journal. The American Journal of Neurosciences Research (AJNR), an “open access” journal published by Ivy Union Publishing is currently seeking Editorial Board members via a blast email prior to beginning publication.

“AJNR” is the official Medline abbreviation of the American Journal of Neuroradiology, and having another journal use it is highly unusual and bound to create confusion. We urge our authors to make sure that they are submitting their articles to the correct journal.
