About the journal
Official Journal of the International Society for Affective Disorders
The Journal of Affective Disorders publishes papers concerned with affective disorders in the widest sense: depression, mania, anxiety and panic. It is interdisciplinary and aims to bring together different approaches for a diverse readership. High quality papers will be accepted dealing with any aspect of affective disorders, including biochemistry, pharmacology, endocrinology, genetics, statistics, epidemiology, psychodynamics, classification, clinical studies and studies of all types of treatment.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies that it contains original work and has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. It also implies the transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher. Four copies of all papers and illustrations are to be submitted along with a letter of transmittal and computer disk (see below) to the appropriate Editor-in-Chief:
For Europe, Asia (except Japan), and Australasia: C. Katona, Kent Institute of Medicine and Health Sciences, Research and Development Centre, University of Kent, Canterbury, Kent CT2 7PD, UK; E-mail: journalad@kent.ac.uk.
For the American Hemisphere, Africa, and Japan: H.S. Akiskal, University of California at San Diego, V.A. Psychiatry Service (116A), 3350 La Jolla Village Dr., San Diego, CA 92161, USA; E-mail: hakiskal@ucsd.edu.
Authors should include permission to reproduce any previously published material. Any potential conflict of interest should be disclosed in the letter of submission. Authors are also requested to include contact information (name, address, telephone, fax, and e-mail) for three potential peer reviewers, to be used at the Editor's discretion. The review process requires 2 to 5 months. All questions concerning the review process should be directed to the appropriate editorial office.
Types of Papers
The Journal primarily publishes full-length Research Reports describing original work (a 15-page limit, exclusive of title page, tables, and figures, is requested), but will also accept a small number of Brief Reports (10 pages) and evidence-based Review Articles (20 pages). Rapid Communications (12 pages) will be accepted for expedited publication. Papers that are not developed enough to be research reports yet offer a new approach can be designated as Preliminary Communications (12 pages). Letters to the Editor commenting on published material are encouraged and may be submitted electronically (a 500-word and 5-reference limit is requested); these might be sent to the original authors for comment. Books for review should be sent to the appropriate editorial office (see above).
Preparation of Manuscripts
Articles should be in English, typed with double spacing on only one side of consecutively numbered pages. The title page should appear as a separate sheet bearing title (without article type), author names and affiliations, and a footnote with the corresponding author's full contact information, including address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address (failure to include an e-mail address can delay processing of the manuscript). Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to merit authorship, and any conflict of interest should be disclosed in the letter of submission as well as, if appropriate, in an Acknowledgments section after the text (e.g., if support was received from a pharmaceutical or other sponsor).
Papers should be divided into sections headed by a caption (e.g., Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion). A structured abstract of no more than 250 words should appear on a separate page with the following headings and order: Background, Methods, Results, Limitations, Conclusions (which should contain a statement about the clinical relevance of the research). A list of three to six key words should appear under the abstract.
Submission of Disk
A floppy disk containing a file identical to the four printed copies should be included with the initial submission. MS-DOS format is preferred, although other systems such as Macintosh are also acceptable (but do not save in MS-DOS format). Please specify the type of computer and word-processing program used (do not convert your textfile to plain ASCII). Do not write-protect the disk.
Do not justify margins or hyphenate words at line breaks. Please adhere strictly to the general instructions on style, in particular for the references. Ensure that characters (such as letter "l" and digit "1"; letter "O" and digit "0") have been used properly and article formatted (tabs, indents, etc.) consistently. Characters not available on the word processor should be indicated by a unique code (such as gralpha, @, or # for the Greek letter  ) that is used consistently throughout the text and a key to such codes provided.
Tables and Figures
Tables and Figures should be limited to necessary data that cannot be incorporated in the text.
Line drawings (including graphs) should be in black ink on white paper or on tracing paper with blue or faint grey rulings; graduation will not be reproduced. Lettering should be large enough to permit photographic reduction. If figures are not to be reduced, their format should not exceed 16 x 20 cm. Photographs (or half-tone illustrations) must be good-quality black-and-white prints on glossy paper with as much contrast as possible. Figures should be clearly marked on the reverse side with the number (arabic numerals), orientation (top), and author's name; a felt-tipped pen or soft pencil should be used for such markings. The legends should be typed separately and included in the manuscript double spaced.
Each table should appear on a separate sheet, numbered with arabic numerals and provided a short descriptive title and footnotes identified by superscript letters (a, b, c, etc.).
References
References should be cited in text by authors' names and year of publication (Harvard system). When referring to a work of more than two authors, the name of the first author should be used with 'et al.'(examples: Brown, 1992; Brown and Bifulco, 1992; Brown et al., 1993, a, b).
All references cited in text should be listed at the end of the paper (double spaced) arranged in alphabetical order of first author. More than one paper from the same author in the same year should be identified by the letter (a, b, c, etc.) after the year of publication.
The reference list should contain names and initials of all authors, year, title of paper referred to, abbreviated title of periodical (per Index Medicus), volume, and inclusive page numbers. This Journal should be cited in the list of references as J. Affect. Disord. Periodicals, books, and multi-author titles should accord with the following examples:
Bauer, M.S., Shea, N., McBride, L., Gavin, C., 1997. Predictors of service utilization in veterans with bipolar disorder: a prospective study. J. Affect. Disord. 44, 159-168.
