Jonas Obleser appoint­ed as senior edi­tor for the Jour­nal of Neuroscience

Start­ing Jan­u­ary 1, 2025, Jonas Obleser will serve as a Senior Edi­tor for The Jour­nal of Neu­ro­science. This pres­ti­gious role, ini­tial­ly set for three years with an option to extend, places him at the core of the edi­to­r­i­al team, under the lead­er­ship of renowned Ger­man-Amer­i­can neu­ro­sci­en­tist Sabine Kast­ner (Prince­ton).

As Senior Edi­tor, Jonas will over­see the assign­ment of sub­mit­ted man­u­scripts to review­ing edi­tors and coor­di­nate the peer-review process with experts world­wide. The senior edi­tor issues deci­sions regard­ing the accep­tance, revi­sion, or rejec­tion of sci­en­tif­ic papers.

The Jour­nal of Neu­ro­science ranks among the top five most-cit­ed neu­ro­science jour­nals glob­al­ly. It has pub­lished peer-reviewed research for over 40 years and serves as the offi­cial jour­nal of the Soci­ety for Neu­ro­science (SfN), the largest organ­i­sa­tion ded­i­cat­ed to under­stand­ing the brain and ner­vous sys­tem, with near­ly 37,000 mem­bers in over 90 countries.
