A fully open-access companion journal to the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS)—named JNIS Advances—has been launched this week at the 2026 Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) annual meeting (20–24 July, Seattle, USA).
JNIS Advances has been designed to address the growing reach of neurointerventional research. It will cover the full range of neurointerventional practice, including stroke, aneurysms, brain tumours, and spinal disorders, and utilises double-anonymised peer review and rigorous production standards, according to the SNIS.
“The neurointerventional field has expanded rapidly beyond the treatment of ischaemic and haemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease. Neurointerventionists now treat cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] disorders, cure epilepsy, and implant brain-computer interfaces [BCIs],” commented JNIS Advances editor Michael Levitt (University of Washington, Seattle, USA). “Our goal with this open-access journal is to bring new discoveries to our readership, the broader scientific community, and ultimately to our patients.”
For authors, manuscripts can be submitted directly to JNIS Advances via an online portal. In addition, manuscripts submitted but not accepted to JNIS can transfer directly to JNIS Advances through the British Medical Journal’s (BMJ) article transfer service with peer-review reports attached.
For practitioners, every one of this new journal’s articles will be free to read on any device, anywhere—removing subscription barriers for clinicians in low- and middle-income countries where the global stroke burden is rising fastest. And, for fellows, residents and medical students, JNIS Advances offers another venue for high-quality research, complementing JNIS’s highly selective publication process, the SNIS further states.
