Here in this post, apart from Neuron Impact Factor, I have tried to compile all the necessary information a research scholar would seek before publishing an article in the journal.
About Neuron Journal

Neuron Impact Factor
Impact Factor (IF) or often called journal impact factor (JIF) is an index provided by an analytics company named Clarivate. The impact factor is calculated by dividing the number of times the articles are cited in the last two years by the total number of publications in those two years.
- Total Citations in 2020 and 2021 = 500
- Total Number of Publications in 2020 and 2021 = 100
- Impact Factor of the Journal in 2022 = 500/100 = 5
Neuron Impact Factor (2017-2023)
- Neuron Impact Factor 2017 – 14.319
- Neuron Impact Factor 2018 – 14.403
- Neuron Impact Factor 2019 – 14.415
- Neuron Impact Factor 2020 – 17.173
- Neuron Impact Factor 2021 – 18.688
- Neuron Impact Factor 2022 – 16.2 (updated 29 June 2023)

Neuron H-index
The h index is a metric for evaluating the cumulative impact of an author’s scholarly output and performance; measures quantity with quality by comparing publications to citations.
The h index of Neuron Journal is 493, which means among all the published articles in this journal, 493 of these publications have received at least 493 citations each.
Neuron Journal Metrics
Neuron CiteScore
CiteScore (CS) of an academic journal is a measure reflecting the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal.
Neuron SCImago Rank
The SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator is a measure of the scientific influence of scholarly journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where the citations come from.
| Year | SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) |
|---|---|
| 2018 | 11.377 |
| 2019 | 9.527 |
| 2020 | 9.612 |
| 2021 | 7.556 |

Neuron Reference Style
References should be sequentially numbered as they occur in the manuscript, and in-text citations should be written in Vancouver superscript style, e.g., “Multiple reports support this observation1,2” or “This observation is supported by Smith et al. 1“
Note that each reference should contain only one citation, and “et al.” should be used only after ten authors.
