The Neurohospitalist
Shortly after the Neurohospitalist Society (NHS) was founded in 2011, the NHS partnered with Sage Publishers to launch a peer-reviewed academic journal, The Neurohospitalist. The journal would serve as the official journal of the NHS, with a goal of being the premier academic journal for clinicians who care for patients with neurological problems in the hospital setting. The Neurohospitalist remains to this day the leading journal in the subspecialty of hospital neurology.
Issues of the Neurohospitalist are published quarterly and present clinically oriented and evidence-based articles of the following types: original research, short reports, clinical problem solving, clinical pathologic conferences, review articles, case reports, and images in clinical neurology. The major topics covered in the journal are: diagnosis and treatment of inpatient neurological diseases and disorders; neurocritical care and emergency neurology; implementation of evidence-based practice in hospital neurology; validated approaches to healthcare quality, systems, and outcomes in hospital neurology; performance measures and patient safety in hospital neurology; operational, financial, and other challenges of building and maintaining a neurohospitalist program; education and training in hospital neurology; in-hospital team building, wellness, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; and medical-legal and ethical issues pertaining to the care of hospitalized patients with neurological problems. The readership of the journal includes neurohospitalists, neurologists, vascular neurologists, neurointensivists, intensivists, neurosurgeons, emergency physicians, internal medicine hospitalists, advanced practice providers, and other clinicians with interest in hospital-based neurology.
The inaugural editor-in-chief of the journal was Dr. Vanja C. Douglas, a neurohospitalist at the University of California San Francisco (San Francisco, California, USA). Dr. Douglas recruited a diverse and international editorial board and a robust cadre of reviewers, and article submissions to the journal steadily increased year over year, as did citations, full-text downloads, and Altmetric measures of published articles. Institutional and individual subscriptions to The Neurohospitalist increased over time as well, including subscriptions in lower income countries made available through partnerships with Research4Life, the INASP, and the eIFL.
In 2019, Dr. Douglas was succeeded as editor-in-chief by Dr. Joshua P. Klein, a neurohospitalist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School (Boston, Massachusetts, USA). Dr. Klein has built upon Dr. Douglas’s outstanding work and continued to expand the breadth and depth of the journal’s editorial board. Articles published in The Neurohospitalist now enjoy more attention than ever, with continued improvements in each of the metrics mentioned above. Each issue of the journal is now over 100 pages in length. In 2023, the journal received its first impact factor (1.0) from Journal Citation Reports (JCR). Also in 2023, the NHS began a formal collaboration with the Scienze Neurologiche Ospedaliere (SNO), in recognition of the shared visions of the two societies. The Neurohospitalist is now the official journal of both the NHS and SNO.
