Dear Colleague, We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of the Journal of Vestibular Research (JVR) is available online (Vol.27, Iss.5-6). The official journal of the Bárány Society, the journal is a forum for the vestibular research community. JVR is proud to publish the Bárány Society's International Classification of Vestibular Disorders (ICVD) consensus documents, which are published open access. The contributions to this important series formally define key vestibular disorders and represent consensus around these formalized definitions. Both of the consensus documents that were published in Vol.27, Iss.4 have been highly viewed recently, as have a number of diagnostic criteria articles (see below). Please feel free to share this newsletter with your colleagues and encourage them to sign up for the newsletter here. | The journal publishes experimental and observational studies and theoretical papers based on current knowledge of the vestibular system. It has a rich tradition of providing an active communication channel that spans the basic and applied areas of vestibular science. As a member of our research community, we would like to invite you to contribute your own articles to the journal. There are many benefits for contributing authors, including rigorous peer review and rapid processing and online publication (pre-print), and an affordable open access option (US$1250 / €900).
