Papers can be submitted here: www.editorialmanager.com/jhtr/Default...

That being said, if you were not selected, we would like to encourage you to submit your work regarding TBI among women and girls to JHTR for consideration (i.e., Unsolicited Manuscript), as this will continue to be an area interest to the readership and editors.

Thank you to everyone who submitted an abstract to the JHTR Topical Issue regarding TBI in Women and Girls. There were an unprecedented number of submissions and as such, we regretted that we could not select every submission for this specific issue.

Timeline for this JHTR Issue 02/15/2025: Full papers must be uploaded to the JHTR Editorial Manager submission 11/01/2025: Expected publication date Thank you. Katherine Snedaker, LCSW and Lisa A. Brenner, PhD Topical Issue Editors More info journals.lww.com/headtraumare...
