Epilepsia Editors

Associate Editors | Editorial Board

Our editors are committed to the continued scientific growth and impact of Epilepsia, the most important journal in the field of epilepsy. They are very aware of the important role the journal has in helping the League to fulfill its mission to educate and disseminate new information about epilepsy to the international community and to serve as a forum for the exchange of new ideas. While focused on maintaining the current standards and mission, the incoming editors also emphasize that the publishing landscape for science and medicine is rapidly changing as more material is becoming readily available on the web. To ensure that Epilepsia and the League continue as the authoritative voice for epilepsy care and research, they intend to have broad representation on the editorial board and among the associate editors of the many areas of expertise that are involved in epilepsy and will explore new methods for making important new material more broadly and quickly available.
