As the official journal of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies, the WFNS Journal acts as the global voice of the WFNS, publishing the highest quality peer-reviewed neurosurgical advances. The mission of the WFNS is to further the worldwide practice of neurosurgery, advance neurosurgical science, and increase its positive global impact.

Strategic Plan:

The strategic plan for the WFNS Journal includes:

1. The standard resource for global neurosurgery by publishing high-impact papers from a truly global authorship.

2. To be cited and indexed in the relevant databases.

3. To encourage and empower neurosurgeons from low- and middle-income countries.

4. Advancing neurosurgical care by implementing a global platform for the neurosurgical community, while advocating for  diversity and universal access to research in all countries.

5. Creating a great network of continental editors and editorial board members to support submissions and the peer review process.
