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. In 2023, the impact factor of the JoS was 6.0. The JoS will continue to provide high quality research papers for readers and strengthen its reputation.

JoS is published 3 times a year on the last day of January, May, and September. The online version is considered the canonical version of the journal because it includes all content available to the reader. Supplementary issues are occasionally published. Some or all of the articles in this journal are indexed in SCI(E), Pubmed, PubMed Central, Scopus, KoreaMed, Komci, Synapse, Science Central, Google Scholar and DOI/Crossref. The Journal is an official journal of the Korean Stroke Society (since 1999) and the abbreviated title is J Stroke. Readers can access articles at the Journal homepage. The URL address of the journal is http://j-stroke.org and http://submit.j-stroke.org.
