From cognitive deficits in Parkinson's disease1 to current novel management strategies of parkinsonian syndromes, such as deep brain stimulation2 and transcranial direct current stimulation,3 research in this field has grown exponentially over recent years. The new focus of the journal will transform and improve our knowledge and therapeutic options for this debilitating disease. I am excited to see what the future holds, and I hope this launched journal will only further encourage scientific discussions and debates.
Research and Reviews in Parkinsonism is, and will remain, an open-access journal that increases author exposure by allowing researchers to publish novel papers that can be read by anyone with access to the Internet. All papers submitted will undergo a rigorous and fast peer-review process.
I would like to thank everyone who has helped the journal grow since its beginning in 2011 and I look forward to the beginning of Research and Reviews in Parkinsonism and its continued development. We welcome your submissions.

As editor in chief, I am excited to announce that Journal of Parkinsonism and Restless Legs Syndrome has been launched as Research and Reviews in Parkinsonism. After much deliberation, I believe this to be an important milestone for the journal and will help with its continued editorial development in the future. We invite authors to submit manuscripts on all aspects of parkinsonismrelated research, policy, phenomenology, literature, history, and treatment on various types of parkinsonian syndromes (eg, Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonisms, drug-induced, secondary parkinsonism, and heredodegenerative diseases) as well as other movement disorders with overlapping features of Parkinson’s disease.

As editor in chief, I am excited to announce that Journal of Parkinsonism and Restless Legs Syndrome has been launched as Research and Reviews in Parkinsonism. After much deliberation, I believe this to be an important milestone for the journal and will help with its continued editorial development in the future. We invite authors to submit manuscripts on all aspects of parkinsonismrelated research, policy, phenomenology, literature, history, and treatment on various types of parkinsonian syndromes (eg, Parkinson’s disease, atypical parkinsonisms, drug-induced, secondary parkinsonism, and heredodegenerative diseases) as well as other movement disorders with overlapping features of Parkinson’s disease.
