**Journal**:: Neurosurgical Review  
**Publisher**:: Springer  
**Scope**:: Clinical and experimental neurosurgery  
**Audience**:: Academic neurosurgeons, residents, clinical researchers  
**Indexing**:: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science  
**Impact Factor**:: Mid-range, stable  
**Region**:: European editorial tradition

----

==== ✅ Strengths ====
  * Broad coverage: clinical studies, systematic reviews, case reports, and experimental research.
  * Consistent publication with rigorous peer review.
  * Accessible for international contributors and smaller institutions.
  * Valuable resource for residents and junior researchers.

----

==== ⚖️ Limitations ====
  * Conservative editorial direction — favors incremental over [[disruptive research]].
  * High proportion of retrospective studies and case series.
  * Limited translational science or high-impact trials.
  * Modest influence on neurosurgical practice compared to top-tier journals.

----

==== 🩺 Best Suited For ====
^ Author Type ^ Goal ^ Fit ^
| Early-career neurosurgeons | CV building | ✅ |
| Academic departments | Institutional output | ✅ |
| Clinical innovators | Technique dissemination | ⚠️ Limited |
| Policy or consensus authors | Guidelines and frameworks | ❌ Rarely appropriate |

----

==== 💬 Conclusion ====
*Neurosurgical Review* offers a reliable and consistent platform for publishing well-structured clinical work.  
It is best used to **consolidate knowledge**, support **career progression**, and **publish observational research**.  
While it may not shape the future of neurosurgery, it plays a meaningful role in recording its present.

> **Summary**: Not disruptive, but dependable. A journal of continuity more than controversy.
