Aims & Scope
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience is a specialty journal that publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on the molecular mechanisms underlying nervous system function and dysfunction. The journal covers all aspects of molecular neuroscience, including molecular and cellular biology, genetics, biochemistry, pharmacology, and computational neuroscience, as they relate to the nervous system. We are interested in studies that elucidate the molecular basis of neuronal development, plasticity, signaling, and behavior, as well as those that explore the molecular pathology of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Ethics & Quality
Think.Check.Submit Compliance
A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
Publication & Citation Trend
Source: OpenAlex · Each year’s green bar = citations earned by that year’s papers, counted to date — so recent years look lower simply because their papers haven’t had time to be cited yet.
