Aims & Scope

IJEP is an international peer-reviewed journal on epilepsy and was launched by the Indian Epilepsy Society. The Society has a membership of around 600, with the aim to disseminate knowledge concerning epilepsy globally, providing the latest updates on prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of people with epilepsy, promote and encourage epilepsy research, and reflect the social and psychological burden and impact of epilepsy on people and society at large. IJEP publishes both basic science and clinical papers bi-annually addressing various aspects of epilepsy. The journal is directed at neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychiatrists, neuroradiologists, and pediatric epileptologists involved in the research and treatment of a broad range of neurological disorders and focuses on investigations addressing clinical neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neuroimaging, epilepsy therapeutics, and historical aspects of epilepsy in Ayurveda and homoeopathy.
