NeuroQuantology is a quarterly peer-reviewed interdisciplinary scientific journal that covers the intersection of neuroscience and quantum mechanics. It was established in April 2003 and its subject matter almost immediately dismissed in The Lancet Neurology as "wild invention" and "claptrap".[1] It is abstracted and indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded[2] and according to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2017 impact factor of 0.453, ranking it 253rd out of 261 journals in the category "Neuroscience".[3]
The journal describes itself as focusing primarily on original reports of experimental and theoretical research. It also publishes literature reviews, methodological articles, empirical findings, book reviews, news, comments, letters to the editor, and abstracts.
In the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers, NeuroQuantology has been listed as "Level 0" since 2008,[4] which means that it is not considered scientific and publications in the journal therefore do not fulfill the necessary criteria in order to count for public research funding.
Neither the Editorial Board nor Advisory Board at NeuroQuantology contains scientists working in the fields of quantum physics or neurology.[5]
