Editorial Team
EDITORIAL TEAM
The JGNS publishes scientific articles related to the area of global neurosurgery. Papers sent to JGNS must follow the instructions for authors, available on the journal's website. The journal reserves the right to make formal modifications during the editing process to the original manuscripts received and accepted. Papers that meet the minimum requirements according to the type of article will be submitted for peer review by the journal's bank of expert reviewers. The lists of reviewers consulted will be published once a year, in a special acknowledgment section of the journal. The reviewers will receive an annual certification for their support in the evaluation process. The editorial advisory committee is made up of national and international members of the review team, who are consulted for specific or major editorial decisions.
