About the journal
Pharmacology Biochemistry & Behavior
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior will publish original reports in the areas of pharmacology, biochemistry, and toxicology in which the primary emphasis and theoretical context are behavioral. Contributions may involve clinical, preclinical, or basic research. Purely behavioral studies generally will not be published unless they have directly demonstrable relevance to the areas of pharmacology, biochemistry, or toxicology. Special encouragement is directed to participation of promising young scientists as well as investigators from the growing neuroscience communities in Europe and Asia.
Prompt publication of original articles will be the standard procedure and no brief or rapid communications will be considered. Articles will be published in the following formats:
Original Investigations: Original high-quality research reports of systematic, comprehensive studies; preliminary data will not be published. Manuscripts that describe a new method, technique, or apparatus pertinent to the aims and scope of the journal will also be considered. Although there is no specific page limitation for this type of submission, articles should generally fall within the range of 5-10 printed pages (15-24 typewritten pages), including tables, figures, and references.
Review Articles: A limited number of relevant and timely theoretical review articles and results of symposia will be published. Generally these review articles will be solicited by the Editorial Board, but authors are encouraged to submit a letter of interest accompanied by a brief outline (less than 2 pages) of the proposed review to the Editors.
Special Issues: A limited number of special issues reflecting timely new research areas or topics will be published. Generally these special issues will be solicited by the Editorial Board, but authors are encouraged to submit suggestions. A guest editor will be appointed for these special issues.
The accepted abbreviation for Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior for bibliographic citation is Pharmacol Biochem Behav.

Papers submitted for publication with a European country of origin should be sent to Professor Sandra E. File, Psychopharmacology Research Unit, Center for Neuroscience, King's College London, Hodgkin Building, Guy's Campus, London SE1 1UL England. FAX: 44-(0)71-955-4627. Papers from elsewhere should be directed to Dr. George F. Koob, Dept. of Neuropharmacology, CVN7, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 N. Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA. FAX: (858) 784-7450. Authors should provide a list of names and addresses of four potential referees who should not be directly associated with the research in the submitted manuscript.
The covering letter accompanying the manuscript must include a statement that the experimental protocol was approved by an Institutional Review Committee for the use of Human or Animal Subjects or that procedures are in compliance with at least the Declaration of Helsinki for human subjects, or the National Institutes of Health Guide for Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Publication No. 85-23, revised 1985), the UK Animals Scientific Procedures Act 1986 or the European Communities Council Directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC). This statement is required both in cover letter as well as in the Methods section of the manuscript. Manuscripts will be returned if there is sufficient evidence that these accepted procedures and good ethical standards have not been followed.
STYLE OF MANUSCRIPT
General Form. (1) Manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate and should be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on good quality paper. All copies of the manuscript must be accompanied by acomplete set of figures. If a word processor is utilized to prepare the manuscript, a letter quality printer must be used and computer-generated illustrations must be of the same quality as professional line drawings or they will not be accepted. (2) References, footnotes, and legends for illustrations should be typed on separate sheets, double-spaced. (3) Illustrations (unmounted photographs) should be identified on the reverse with figure number, author(s) name, and the top clearly marked. (4) Each table should be typed on a separate sheet and double-spaced. (5) All dimensions and measurements must be specified in the metric system. Standard nomenclature, abbreviations and symbols, as specified by Royal Society Conference of Editors. Metrification in Scientific Journals, Am. Scient. 56:159-164; 1968, should be used throughout. (6) Italics should not be used for the purpose of emphasis. Title. The title must not be longer than 100 characters, including spaces between words. The title page should contain: title of paper; author(s); laboratory or institution of origin with city, state, zip code, and country; complete address for mailing proofs, and corresponding author's telephone and FAX numbers, and E-mail address if available; a running head not to exceed 40 characters including spaces between words.
Length of Paper. The Editors insist upon clear, concise statement of facts and conclusions. Fragmentation of material into numerous short reports is discouraged.
Abstract. Each paper submitted must be accompanied by an abstract, which does not exceed 200 words and must be suitable for use by abstracting journals.
Keywords. A list of 3-12 words or short phrases suitable for indexing terms should be typed at the bottom of the abstract page accompanying the manuscript. These terms will be printed with the paper at the end of the abstract.
Drugs. Proprietary (trademarked) names should be capitalized. The chemical name should precede the trade, popular name, or abbreviation of a drug the first time it occurs. The manufacturer's name and location should be included in the text.
Footnotes. Title page footnotes should be numbered consecutively. If the senior author is not to receive reprint requests, a footnote should be, given to designate to whom requests should be sent. Text footnotes should not be used; the material should be incorporated into the text. Table footnotes: see Tables (b):
References. References should be cited by name and year. More than one paper from the same first author in the same year must be identified by the letters a, b, c, etc., placed after the year of publication. When referring to a work by more than two authors, the name of the first author should be given followed by et al. The literature references should consist of names and initials of all authors, year, title of paper, abbreviated title of periodical, volume number and first and last page numbers of the paper. Examples are given below:

Computer Disks. Authors are encouraged to submit a 3.5" HD/DD computer disk to the editorial office: 5.25" HD/DD disks are acceptable if 3.5" disks are unavailable. Please observe the following criteria: 1. Send only hard copy when first submitting your paper. 2. When your paper has been refereed, revised if necessary, and accepted, send a disk containing the final version with final hardcopy. 3. Specify what software was used, including which release, e.g., WordPerfect 6.0a. 4. Specify what computer was used (IBM compatible PC, Apple Macintosh, etc.). 5. The article file should include all textual material (text, references, tables, figure captions, etc.) and separate illustration files, if available. 6. The file should follow the general instructions on style/arrangement and, in particular, the reference style of this journal as given in the instructions to Contributors. 7. The file should be single-spaced and should use the wrap-around end-of-line feature, i.e., returns at the end of paragraphs only. Place two returns after every element such as title, headings, paragraphs, figure and table call-outs. 8. Keep a back-up disk for reference and safety.
Illustrations. (a) Prepare for use in a single column width (85 mm) whenever possible. (b) All drawings for reduction to a given size should be drawn and lettered to the same scale. (c) All illustrations should be referred to as figures and numbered in Arabic numerals. (d) Lettering should be done in India ink or other suitable material and must be proportionate to the size of the illustrations if it is to be legible after reduction. Lettering should be sized so that its smallest elements (subscripts or superscripts) will be readable when reduced. (e) When possible all lettering should be within the framework of the illustration; likewise the key to symbols should be on the face of the chart. The following standard symbols should be used as they are easily available to the printer: 0
  □  + (f) Actual magnification of all photomicrographs should be given. Dimension scale should be indicated. (g) Sharply contrasting unmounted photographs of figures on glossy paper are required. (h) Illustrations should be submitted in black and white unless color reproduction is requested. Color prints should be submitted in actual size and authors will be responsible for the additional costs.
Tables. (a) Tables may now be produced in the format available in modern word processing packages, in which case they will be treated as illustrations (see above). (b) Each table should have a brief heading; explanatory matter should be in footnotes, not as part of the title. (c) Table footnotes should be indicated in the body of the table in order of their appearance with the following symbols: *   ¡ì  # **, etc. (d) Tables must not duplicate material in text or illustrations. (e) Short or abbreviated column heads should be used. (f) Statistical measures of variation, SD, SE, etc., should be identified. (g) Analysis of variance tables should not be submitted, but significant F should be incorporated where appropriate within the text. The appropriate form for reporting F value is: F (11, 20) = 3.05, p < 0.01.
Formulas and Equations. Structural chemical formulas, process flow-diagrams, and complicated mathematical expressions should be kept to a minimum. Usually chemical formulas and flow-diagrams should be drawn in India ink for reproduction as line cuts.
All subscripts, superscripts, Greek letters, and unusual characters must be clearly identified.
Anesthesia. In describing surgical procedures on animals, the type and dosage of the anesthetic agent should be specified. Curarizing agents are not anesthetics; if these were used, evidence must be provided that anesthesia of suitable grade and duration was employed.
Proofs. Corrections to the proofs must be restricted to printer's errors only. Other than these, any other alterations will be charged to the author.
Offprints. Each author will receive with his galley proofs an offprint order form which must be completed and returned with the proofs. Corresponding author will receive 25 complimentary reprints.
Copyright. Publications are copyrighted for the protection of the authors and the publisher. A Transfer of Copyright Agreement will be sent to the author who submits the manuscript. The form must be completed and returned to the publisher before the article can be published.
