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.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
