The journal “Epilepsy and Paroxysmal Conditions”, published since 2009, demonstrated steady positive dynamics in key scientometric indicators at year-end 2025. In May 2026, based on updated data, the journal moved to the third quartile (Q3) of the authoritative international scientometric database Scopus, thereby confirming its growing international recognition. At the same time, the journal achieved leading positions among peer-reviewed publications in the "Neurosciences" category in the Russian Science Citation Index (RSCI), evidencing its leading role in the national academic space. The key drivers of growth were the open-access model, the introduction of HTML versions of articles, as well as refinement of requirements for the methodological quality of manuscripts. An analysis of publication activity shows increased proportion of original research, a rise in the number of citations in high-ranking journals, as well as prominently expanded readership. The paper also examines new legal requirements for the publication of genetic data, which come into force in Russia in 2026, and outlines strategic prospects to further promote the journal in international scientometric databases. The journal continues to serve as a key communication platform for Russian and foreign researchers in the field of neurosciences, practicing physicians specializing in various areas of neurology, instrumental diagnostic methods, therapy, pediatrics, neonatology, physical and rehabilitation medicine, and related fields.
