About the journal
|
Founded in 1961 to report on the latest work in psychiatry and cognate disciplines, the Journal of Psychiatric Research is dedicated to innovative and timely studies of four important areas of research:
(1) clinical studies of all disciplines relating to psychiatric illness, as well as normal human behaviour, including biochemical, physiological, genetic, environmental, social, psychological and epidemiological factors;
(2) basic studies pertaining to psychiatry in such fields as neuropsychopharmacology, neuroendocrinology, electrophysiology, genetics, experimental psychology and epidemiology;
(3) the growing application of clinical laboratory techniques in psychiatry, including imagery and spectroscopy of the brain, molecular biology and computer sciences;
(4) advances in basic and clinical research methodology, including the process of "bench-to-bedside" transfer of new research findings.
The Editors-in-Chief will accept papers of high scientific caliber, if necessary after appropriate revision, and will aim for their rapid publication.
In addition, the Journal will be enhanced by the inclusion of commissioned reviews, news items, book notices and letters to the Editors.

Four copies of the manuscript including tables and figures should be submitted. Submission of a paper to the Journal of Psychiatric Research is understood to imply that it is an original paper which has not previously been published, and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Prior publication in abstract form should be indicated. Furthermore, authors should provide copies of any related manuscript that has been recently published, is in press or under consideration elsewhere. The following circumstances indicate that a paper is related to the manuscript submitted to the Journal: a) any overlap in the results presented; b) any overlap in the subjects, patients or materials the results are based on.
Structure of the manuscript
The manuscript should be double-spaced throughout with wide margins and should be arranged as follows:
Title page: Title, names of the authors, affiliations, running title (not exceeding 35 characters), address, phone, fax, and E-mail of the corresponding author.
Summary page: An abstract of no more than 250 words should be provided in single paragraph format. In addition, up to six keywords should be given.
Introduction: State the objectives of the study and give concise, but sufficient information on the background.
Materials and Methods: Give detailed information on the study population you investigated and the methods you have used. Studies reporting results obtained in humans must include a statement that the investigation was carried out in accordance with the latest version of the Declaration of Helsinki, that the study design was reviewed by an appropriate ethical committee and that informed consent of the participants was obtained after the nature of the procedures had been fully explained. Statistical procedures should be explained.
Results: Results may be represented verbally, in tables or figures, as appropriate. However, do not duplicate presentation (e.g. do not repeat numerical data from tables in the text). It is not appropriate to present means or medians exclusively; please also provide measures of the distribution of values.
Discussion: The results of your study should be placed in the appropriate context of knowledge, with discussion of its limitations and implications for future work.
Acknowledgment: Financial support of the study, including support from pharmaceutical companies, must be mentioned here. In addition, authors may express their gratitude to persons who were involved in the work presented, but who are not themselves authors of the paper.
References: References should be arranged in alphabetical order with authors' names, article title, and journal spelt out in full. Follow the citation style of the Journal e.g.
Jones SH, Gray JA, Hemsley DR. Loss of the Kamin blocking effect in acute but not chronic schizophrenics. Biological Psychiatry 1992; 32:739-755.
Bowlby J. Attachment. New York: Basic Books, 1969.
Brown, B. Interviewing styles. In: Jones A., Smith S., editors. Techniques of assessment. Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1980. p. 197-208.
Citations in the text should appear in parentheses: for publications with only one or two authors, list them in full with the names separated by an "&," followed by the year; for publications with more than two authors list the name of the first author only, followed by et. al. and the year.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers. Each table should include a header. Do not use vertical bars. For every variable, the units of measurement should be clearly identified.
Figures: Figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers. Please use a lettering that remains clearly readable even after reduction to about 66%. For every figure, a legend should be provided.
Submission of Letters to the Editor
Letters to the Editor may be considered for publication if they include important comments on previous papers in the Journal, interesting case reports or preliminary findings of importance. The text should not exceed 1000 words. One figure or one table may be included. If new data are presented, the same rules apply as for regular papers (see above).
Review Process
Papers, except invited reviews, will be evaluated by at least two external experts. The authors are invited to propose three potential referees by providing their names, postal and E-mail addresses, phone and fax numbers. However, the choice of reviewers is made by the Editors exclusively. The authors will be notified as soon as possible whether a contribution is accepted for publication in the form that it was submitted, acceptable after a revision (which, in general, will be reviewed again), or rejected.
Submission of computer disks
The Journal encourages the submission of accepted papers in final form on disk. Details will be notified to authors upon acceptance.
Fast-Track Review and Publication
Eligible manuscripts: Papers entering the fast-track procedure should present clear-cut, novel findings of unusual and timely significance. Complex studies, even those of major importance, do not qualify, because it is unlikely that reviewers can handle them quickly. Fast-track papers are expected to be acceptable for publication in essentially the form submitted. Manuscripts that require substantial revision do not fit the criteria for fast-track processing.
Submission procedure:
- Submit 4 hardcopies of the manuscript plus a diskette.
- Provide complete addess for corresponding author including fax and E-mail.
- Provide complete addressess of 4 potential reviewers including fax and E-mail.
- Explain in the cover letter why you are requesting rapid review.
- Explicitly state whether there is any overlap with already published or submitted work.
Review procedure:
- Within a maximum of 2 weeks the editorial office will decide whether the paper can enter the fast track.
- If the editorial office denies fast-track review, the author is offered the option of having the manuscript placed in the regular review process. He or she must respond within a week or the paper is rejected.
- Within a maximum of 5 weeks the decision for acceptance or rejection is made. This decision is final (rejected manuscripts will not enter the ordinary review process).
- If acceptance requires minor changes they must be performed by the authors within a week.
- Accepted papers are published in the next issue.
- All correspondence with authors and reviewers is performed by E-mail and fax exclusively.
Proofs:
Elsevier will do everything possible to get your article corrected and published as quickly and accurately as possible. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all of your corrections are returned to us in one all-inclusive email or fax. Subsequent additional corrections will not be possible, so please ensure that your first communication is complete.
