The journal was created in 1999 by Jean Aicardi and Alexis Arzimanoglou.^[4][2][1] It was built upon a single goal: to diffuse new information on epilepsy through the publication of good articles on all aspects of the epilepsies, from basic investigation to clinical reports, and data from related disciplines such as neuroimaging, genetics, and pharmacology.^[5] It transitioned onto an online platform in 2006.^[2] Epileptic Disorders publishes many articles types including comprehensive didactic seminars, original articles, video teaching material, educational documents to support ILAE Commissions and Task Force reports, and highly original case series or case reports with meaningful value for everyday clinical practice – including seizure semiology, treatment, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and neuropsychology.^[6]
