Epilepsy & Behavior Reports

Epilepsy & Behavior ReportsFollowing the first issue of Epilepsy Behavior Case Reports (EBCR) published in 2013, our journal is undergoing a metamorphosis.EBCR has seen not only significant traffic in the number of submitted manuscripts from all over the globe, but also growth in the type of manuscripts beyond case reports.With a rising number of case series, prospective and even controlled trials, the time has arrived to enter a new phase of growth for our journal.Acting upon recommendations arising from an Epilepsy & Behavior Reports (EBR) editorial board meeting in previous years, we have with this issue, successfully moved to the next phase.It is with a great sense of pride, standing on the shoulders of giants, that I announce our transition from EBCR to Epilepsy & Behavior Reports (EBR).In addition to a new (or at least modified) name for the journal, we have assembled a first-rate editorial board for EBR complete with national and international experts to form the necessary infrastructure in addition to a new logo to reflect the evolution.The simple absence of the letter "C" from EBCR represents a complex response to the wider variety of manuscripts submitted.Overall, e-journals are on the rise as global penetration of medical informatics mandates easy transmissibility and accessibility.In the wake of this move, EBR opens its literary doors to invite editorials, short communications, reviews, original research, and of course will continue to focus on outstanding clinical case reports.Created as the brainchild of Dr. Steven Schachter, EBCR flourished with the assistance of Founding Associate Editor, Professor Dieter Schmidt, due to exceptional talent and dedication.Our sister journal, Epilepsy and Behavior (E & B) continues to thrive after nearly 20 years, under the auspices of Dr. Schachter and a diverse editorial board, to deliver high-quality print and electronic publications involving a broad spectrum of topics involving people with epilepsy.Together, EBR and E & B will continue to achieve a wide spectrum of complementary articles involving cutting edge literature that deals with the behavior and psychosocial aspects of epilepsy.The spectrum of articles will continue to deliver high-quality manuscripts ranging from a single case report to prospective, multi-center and controlled trials.The legacy of EBCR will continue as EBR, and continue to evolve, to meet the needs of her readers and demands of her authors.The vision to remain a premier open access journal begun nearly a decade ago, will continue.Digital access to scholars will remain a commitment by EBR and Elsevier so manuscripts are readily available for review on a personal computer, tablet, smartphone or other personal electronic devices.At the foundation for support is Dr. Daniel Staemmler at Elsevier who has provided constant oversight and support in addition to Mehroon Farooqui as journal manager, as we transition to EBR.With growth in title comes the need for infrastructure.We have assembled a new Editorial Board for EBR.The list of board members is
