The Journal of Stroke (JoS) offers clinicians and researchers working in stroke-related fields with peer-reviewed articles on clinical and basic investigation of cerebral circulation and associated diseases for enhancing patient management, education, clinical or experimental research, and professionalism. The scope of the journal encompasses any areas of stroke research including those on pathophysiology, risk factors, symptomatology, imaging, treatment, and rehabilitation. Research in basic science is considered only when it provides clinically relevant important information. Additionally, we are interested in studies that highlight the characteristics of stroke in the Asian population, as they are insufficiently represented in the literature.
