Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements

Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing the clinical and scientific understanding of movement disorders characterized by involuntary, excessive, or abnormal motor activity. Published under the auspices of the Center for Digital Research and Scholarship at Columbia University, the journal serves as a focused platform for research on tremors, dystonia, myoclonus, chorea, tics, ataxia, and related hyperkinetic conditions. Its scope encompasses the full spectrum of these disorders, from fundamental neurobiology and pathophysiology to clinical phenomenology, genetics, neuroimaging, and therapeutic interventions. The journal welcomes a variety of article types, including original research articles, comprehensive reviews, case reports, brief reports, and letters to the editor, fostering a diverse exchange of knowledge. The target audience includes neurologists, movement disorder specialists, neuroscientists, geneticists, and allied health professionals seeking cutting-edge findings and clinical insights. A notable feature is its fully open-access model, ensuring that all published content is freely and permanently available to the global research community without subscription barriers. With an impact factor of 1.9000 for 2026, the journal is classified in the Q3 quartile within its subject area (4区医学), reflecting a solid, specialized standing in the field. While not among the highest-tier journals, it provides a valuable, accessible venue for disseminating high-quality research on hyperkinetic movement disorders, particularly for studies that may be too specialized for broader neurology journals. Its commitment to open access and focused scope makes it an important resource for advancing both clinical practice and basic science in this niche area.
