Instructions to Authors
Editorial Policies
The Journal publishes articles containing new data or ways of reorganizing established knowledge relevant to understanding and modifying human behavior, especially that called "sick" or "deviant". Our policy is summarized by the slogan, "Behavioral science for clinical practice". Articles should include at least one behavioral variable, clear definition of study populations, and replicable research designs. Authors should use the active voice and first person whenever possible. Preference is given to research reports of no more than 15 18 double-spaced, typewritten pages; authors wishing to submit longer evaluative review papers should query the Editor in advance. Brief reports (10 typewritten pages) are considered if they have heuristic value. Book reviews are solicited.
Neither a submitted article nor the data it contains may have been published previously or be currently under review for publication elsewhere. Reprint permission for all materials printed in or adapted from other publications must be submitted immediately after formal acceptance. Listed authors should include only primary researchers and writers; other contributors should be acknowledged in a footnote.
Reports of studies involving human subjects must indicate a) the social context from which subjects were drawn and their relationship to the investigator, and b) that informed consent was obtained. Patient anonymity must be protected in all instances.
Manuscripts are usually subjected to blind review by at least two referees for significance, originality, and verifiability. Every effort is made to inform authors of publication decisions within 3 months. All authors must assign copyright in writing to Lippincott Williams & Wilkins when an article is accepted. All accepted manuscripts are edited for adherence to scientific and Journal format and style, internal consistency, succinctness, nonsexist language, grammar, syntax, and punctuation. Rejected manuscripts will be returned to authors only if the original submission is accompanied by a postage-paid, self-addressed envelope. Manuscripts should be submitted in the final, revised format. Extensive re-writing and editorial changes made by the corresponding author after the article is typeset will be charged to the respective author.
Manuscript Submission
Three clear copies of the manuscript, accompanied by a cover letter that includes the corresponding author's e-mail address stating the complete title of the paper and the name, mailing address and telephone number of the corresponding author, should be addressed to:
Eugene B. Brody, M.D
Editor-in-Chief
The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease
The Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital
6501 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21285-6815
The manuscript must be typed, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins on all sides, paginated, and organized in accordance with the Journal guidelines. Do not indicate authors' names on manuscript pages. Do not submit glossy photos of figures or computer disks. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the corresponding author will be notified of additional requirements, including camera-ready prints or laser printouts of figures and a computer disk with the final, formally accepted version of the manuscript, references, and figure legends. Identify the disk with the name of the senior author, article title, hardware, software, and version. IBM-compatible disks are preferred in Word, but other programs will be accepted. For additional information, call the Editorial Office at (410) 938-3182.
Notify the Editorial Office promptly of any address change for the corresponding author. The Journal is not responsible for loss.
Organization of Manuscripts
In most cases, manuscripts should contain the following sections and materials, in the order listed:
1) Running title page: An abbreviated title (not more than 45 characters, including spaces and punctuation) and the name, address, and e-mail address of the person to whom proofs should be sent.
2) Complete title page: A full, informative title (no more than two lines) and the names and highest degrees of all authors.
3) Abstract: Full title and a one-page description (150 words or less) of the general purpose, methodology, results, and conclusions of the research.
4) Introduction: A clear statement of the purpose of the study, a brief survey of salient literature, a description of the research setting if relevant, and the rationale for the general methodology chosen.
5) Methods: A precise description of subjects, procedures, apparatus, and methods of data analysis, all sufficiently detailed to allow other competent researchers to evaluate or replicate the study.
6) Results: A succinct presentation of significant data obtained, including tables or figures only to supplement not repeat the text.
7) Discussion: An extension (not reiteration) of the Results, emphasizing significant principles, relationships, generalizations and implications, relevance to previous studies, limitations, and suggestions for further research.
8) Conclusions: A clear statement of all conclusions, briefly summarizing evidence for each.
9) References: An unnumbered list of cited sources arranged in alphabetical order, using the style shown in the examples below. Note that all authors' names are listed: "et al." is used only in the text. Accuracy of the references is the authors' responsibility. If a manuscript has been accepted for publication, list it as "in press" and give the journal name. Unpublished or privately published materials and personal communications are not references, but should be cited as footnotes.
Within the text, citations should show the authors' last names and year of publication (e.g., Mills and Smith, 1956); multiple sources should be cited alphabetically by author. If there are more than two authors, give only the name of the first author, followed by "et al." (e.g., Mills et al., 1956). If more than one publication by the same author in the same year is cited, suffixes (a, b, c, etc.) should be added to the year in both the text and list citations (e.g., Mills, 1956a). In the text, show page numbers from the original source for any quoted material (e.g., Mills, 1956, p. 12). Except in extraordinary circumstances, no more than four references should be cited in support of any given point.
Examples of reference style:
Gottlieb BH (Ed) (1981) Social networks and social support. Beverly Hills, CA: Sage.
Lewis SW, Reveley A, Reveley M, Chitkara B, Murray RM (1987) The familial/sporadic distinction as a strategy in schizophrenia research. Br J Psychiatry 151:306 313.
Weissman MM, Boyd JH (1985) Affective disorders: Epidemiology. In HI Kaplan, BJ Sadock (Eds), Comprehensive textbook of psychiatry/ IV (4th ed, Vol 1, pp 764 769). Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins.
10) Footnotes: A listing of all footnotes in the order in which they appear in the text. Footnote 1 should identify the primary institutional affiliation of the first author (and others who share that setting); it should also give the name and address of the author to whom reprint requests should be sent. Subsequent footnotes identify the affiliations of authors at other institutions, followed by an unnumbered footnote describing grant support and other essential acknowledgments. Final numbered notes provide information on citations in the text that do not qualify as references.
11) Figure Legends: A consecutively numbered (arabic) listing of all figure legends, each sufficiently explanatory to make reference to the text unnecessary.
12) Figures: Photocopies of professionally prepared figures. Camera-ready glossy or laser prints to be sent only upon acceptance of the paper; a typed label on the back of each should include figure number, name of lead author, and title of manuscript.
13) Tables: A consecutively numbered presentation of all tables, each typed double-spaced on a separate page and headed by a brief but descriptive title.
