About this journal

Aims and scope

Aphasiology is concerned with all aspects of neurogenic language impairment, related disorders and disability. It provides a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of knowledge, the dissemination of original research on current topics and expertise in all aspects of aphasia. It also embraces related topics from all disciplinary perspectives.

Aphasiology includes papers on clinical, psychological, linguistic, social and neurological perspectives of aphasia. It attracts contributions and readership from researchers and clinicians in speech and language pathology, neurology, neuropsychology, neurolinguistics. Studies using a wide range of empirical methods, including experimental, neuroimaging, group and single case experimental studies, surveys and physical investigations are published in addition to regular features including reviews (systematic or narrative), clinical fora. Rigorous qualitative studies are also welcomed.

Peer Review: All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
