Disterhoft, PhD Published bimonthly, beginning in February The primary mission of Behavioral Neuroscience is to publish original research papers in the broad field of the biological bases of behavior. Occasional review articles and theoretical papers are also acceptable for publication if they are judged to make original and important conceptual contributions to the field. Studies covering the entire range of relevant biological and neural sciences, for example, anatomy, chemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and pharmacology, are considered so long as behavioral variables are measured or manipulated or if the work has clear relevance to behavior. Studies on the genetic, evolutionary, and developmental aspects of behavior are also appropriate, as are behavioral studies, if they have clear implications for biological processes or mechanisms. Single-experiment papers are deemed just as acceptable as multiple-experiment papers. Good experimental design, controls and procedures, importance or significance, and proper scholarship are the major criteria. The journal also publishes a "Brief Communications" section. Papers for this section should be so labeled and must not exceed 3,250 words of text, with no more than two figures and/or tables. The journal will also occasionally publish "Technical Comments" concerning research papers it has previously published, as well as responses by the authors. These must not exceed 800 words.   Instructions to Authors   Submit manuscripts electronically, and mail two copies of each manuscript to the Editor: John F. Disterhoft Behavioral Neuroscience Department of Physiology (M-211) Northwestern University Morton Building, Room 5-666 303 East Chicago Avenue Chicago, IL 60611-3008 All paper copies should be clear, readable, and on paper of good quality. An unusual typeface is acceptable only if it is clear and legible. In addition to addresses and phone numbers, authors should supply electronic mail addresses and fax numbers, if available, for potential use by the editorial office and later by the production office. Upon acceptance of their manuscript, authors will also be requested to submit an electronic version of their manuscript on diskette. Authors should keep a copy of their manuscript to guard against loss. SUBMISSION LETTER Authors are required to include the following in their submission letter: A statement of compliance with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or a description of the details of the treatment. A statement that the manuscript or data have not been published previously and that they are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement to reflect that all listed authors have contributed significantly to the manuscript and consent to their names on the manuscript. A statement to disclose any possible conflict of interest in the conduct and reporting of research (e.g., financial interests in a test or procedure, funding by pharmaceutical companies for drug research). Authors are encouraged to suggest five reviewers who are especially qualified to review their work and would not have a conflict of interest serving as a referee. REVIEW POLICY Masked reviews are optional, and authors who wish masked reviews must specifically request them when submitting their manuscripts. Each copy of a manuscript to be mask reviewed should include a separate title page with authors' names and affiliations, and these should not appear anywhere else on the manuscript. Footnotes that identify the authors should be typed on a separate page. Authors should make every effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities. Behavioral Neuroscience is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research articles in the broad field of the biological bases of behavior. A detailed description of the editorial coverage policy appears on the inside of the front cover of each issue. MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Formatting instructions (all copy must be double-spaced with wide margins on 8.5- ?11-in. paper) and detailed instructions on preparing abstracts, tables, figures, references, and abbreviations and metrics appear in the Publication Manual. Also, all manuscripts are copyedited for bias-free language. The journal also publishes a "Brief Communications" section. Articles for this section should be so labeled and must not exceed 3,250 words of text, with no more than two figures or tables. The text count does not include references or figure captions. "Technical Comments" concerning articles previously published in the journal will also be considered for publication. Articles for this section must not exceed 800 words of text. Abstracts All manuscripts must include an abstract that contains a maximum of 960 characters and spaces (which is approximately 120 words) typed on a separate sheet of paper. Tables Each table should be submitted on a separate page and must be numbered and labeled with an appropriate title. All tables must be self-explanatory. Figures To ensure high-quality reproduction of photomicrographs, each issue of Behavioral Neuroscience, as well as any reprints of articles that authors purchase, will be printed on coated, photographic-quality paper. To further ensure the quality of all figures in the journal, authors should note that figures must be photographed and submitted as high-quality glossy prints or laser prints, which must not exceed 8.5 ?11 in. (21.5 ?28 cm) in size; photocopies, transparencies, slides, and negatives are not acceptable. Photomicrographs must not be mounted on cardboard or poster board, and all parts of multiple-part figures must appear on the same glossy print. All figures must be numbered and labeled with the first author's name. Original color figures can be printed in color at the editor's discretion and provided the author agrees to pay half of the associated production costs; an estimate of these costs is available from the APA production office on request. References References should be cited in text as follows: "The results replicated those of a previous study (Knoth & Mair, 1991)," or "The procedure was a modification of Krettek and Price (1989) and Smith et al. (1977) . . . ." Multiple references should be cited in alphabetical order: "Earlier investigations (Abbott, 1988; Hunt & Aggleton, 1983; Winocur, 1985) . . . ." Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed alphabetically in the reference section. The following examples illustrate the style to be used for a journal article, a book, and a chapter in a book, respectively: Crider, A. B., Blockel, L. L., & Solomon, P. R. (1988). Selective attention in the Fisher 344 rat: Dopamine receptor supersensitivity or up-regulation? Behavioral Neuroscience, 102, 315¨C319. Paxinos, G., & Watson, C. (1986). The rat brain in stereotaxic coordinates (2nd ed.). San Diego, CA: Academic Press. Zola-Morgan, S. (1984). Toward an animal model of human amnesia: Some critical issues. In L. R. Squire & N.

Abbreviations and Metrics Nonstandard abbreviations should be introduced by placing the abbreviation in parentheses after the first occurrence of the term being abbreviated in both the abstract and the text. The metric system should be followed for all volumes, lengths, weights, and so on. Temperatures should be expressed in degrees Celsius (centigrade). Units should conform to the International System of Units (SI; see the Publication Manual). PUBLICATION POLICY Authors are required to obtain and provide to APA all necessary permissions to reproduce any copyrighted work, including, for example, test instruments and other test materials or portions thereof. APA policy prohibits an author from submitting the same manuscript for concurrent consideration by two or more publications. In addition, it is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13). Because this journal is a primary journal that publishes original material only, APA policy prohibits as well publication of any manuscript that has already been published in whole or substantial part elsewhere. Authors have an obligation to consult journal editors concerning prior publication of any data upon which their article depends. In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14). APA expects authors submitting to this journal to adhere to these standards. Specifically, authors of manuscripts submitted to APA journals are expected to have available their data throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication. REVISIONS Revised manuscripts and all correspondence should be sent to the main editorial office at Northwestern University. Manuscripts need not be accompanied by a copy of the original version. Revisions not returned within two months of the last action date will be treated as a new submission. MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTANCE Upon acceptance of their manuscript for publication, authors are expected to provide permissions, signed and dated copyright release and ethical compliance forms, and an electronic version of their revised manuscript on diskette. Permissions If any figure or table (or part or adaptation thereof) or more than a few lines of text from previously published material are included in a manuscript, the author must obtain written permission for re-publication from the copyright holder and forward a copy to the APA Journals Office, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242. Copyright Under copyright law, the transfer of copyright from author to publisher must be completed before any article can be published in Behavioral Neuroscience. The transfer of copyright enables the publisher to assure maximum dissemination of the author's work. APA Publication Rights forms are sent to all authors prior to acceptance and must be signed and returned to the Editor's office immediately. U.S. government employees must sign the section of the form stating exemption from copyright laws. Alterations to or substitutions for the form are not acceptable. Ethical Compliance Authors will be required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment. A copy of the APA Ethical Principles may be obtained electronically or by writing the APA Ethics Office, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242. APA requires authors to reveal any possible conflict of interest in the conduct and reporting of research (e.g., financial interests in a test procedure, funding by pharmaceutical companies for drug research). PROOFS AND REPRINTS All proofs must be corrected and returned to the APA Journals Office within 48 hours of receipt. Foreign authors are encouraged to use a rapid and reliable mailing service. Only correction of typographical errors will be permitted; the author will be charged for additional alterations to the text at the proof stage. With the proofs will be a form providing the author with the opportunity to order reprints.
