COVID-19 and impact on peer review

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.

Aims and scope

Journal of Clinical Movement Disorders focuses on scientific investigations into the diagnosis, evaluation and management of patients with involuntary movement disorders. The journal reviews, illustrates and emphasizes clinical phenomenology as an indispensable tool for diagnosis and application of translational medicine to movement disorders. Topics covered in the journal include Parkinson's disease, tremor, dystonia, chorea, myoclonus, Huntington's disease, tics, deep brain stimulation, botulinum toxin, and pediatric movement disorders. Journal of Clinical Movement Disorders is particularly interested in receiving submissions on international perspectives and clinical observations in movement disorders, and welcomes investigations in both hypokinetic and hyperkinetic movement disorders. Video demonstrations of patients are also strongly encouraged.
