Publication categories
The Journal considers the following kinds of article for publication:
1. Research Reports, describing new experimental findings;
2. Review Articles. The Editors wish to encourage the following types of review, but request that authors contact them in advance:
(a) general reviews that provide a synthesis of an area of psychopharmacology;
(b) perspectives - brief overviews, which are 4-6 printed pages in length including references, that address important new areas of general interest;
(c) critiques - focused and provocative reviews that are followed by a number of invited commentaries, with a concluding reply from the main author;
(d) 'state of the art' reports of significant meetings in which new findings or ideas are reported.
These are designed to keep the Journal's readership abreast of the latest findings prior to their publication.
3. Letters to the Editors. Readers' letters should address issues raised by published articles or should report significant new findings that merit rapid dissemination. The decision to publish is made by the Editors, in order to ensure a timely appearance in print.
4. Book Reviews. A list of up-to-date books for review is available from the Journal's Editorial Manager.
Manuscript presentation
Journal of Psychopharmacology subscribes predominantly to the editorial preferences expressed in the Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals issued by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
Articles submitted for publication in Journal of Psychopharmacology should be typed on one side of the sheet only, in double spacing throughout (this includes notes and references) and with generous margins all round. Each page should be numbered and identified with a shortened version of the title.
Elements within the Manuscript
Cover sheet. Preface your paper with a cover sheet that carries the title, authors' names, addresses and affiliations; plus telephone, fax and email numbers for the corresponding author. Unless there are instructions to the contrary, the corresponding author will receive the article offprints and the voucher copies of the printed journal (see below). On this or the next following page list sources of support in the form of grants, equipment, drugs, or all of these, and any disclaimers.
Abstract. Provide an abstract of 150-250 words. The abstract should state the purposes of the study or investigation, basic procedures, main findings and the principal conclusions. Emphasize new and important aspects of the study or observations.
Key words, or key word phrases, to accompany the abstract should not exceed 10. They should, if possible, be drawn from the MeSH list of Index Medicus and be chosen with a view to useful cross-indexing of the article.
Text. Subdivide your article with appropriate headings. Use no more than three levels of subdivision. For observational and experimental articles the first level will usually consist of the standard heads: Introduction, Methods and Materials, Results and Discussion. Other types of articles will benefit from less formulaic formats.
Acknowledgements. Between the end of the text and the start of the References section, please acknowledge sources of financial and material support, and those who have contributed intellectually, with their consent.
References. Authors should be cited using the name and date convention, in date order: (Prewett and Green, 1989; Becker, 1992; Marlowe et al., 1994, Table 2). List authors up to two; for three or more use the name of the first author plus et al. References should have been checked against the original documents, and must be carefully cross-checked to ensure the text citation matches that in the reference list.
Style of presentation in the reference list should follow the general pattern given below (for further examples see the Journal texts). Journal abbreviations should conform with the style adopted in the Cumulated Index Medicus.
Journal references:
Rickels K, Schweizer E, Clary C, Fox I, Weise C (1994) Nefazdone and imipramine in major depression: a placebo-controlled trial. Br J Psychiat 164: 802-805
Book references:
Eysenck M W (1992) The nature of anxiety. In Gale A, Eysenck M W (eds), Handbook of individual differences: biological perspectives. John Wiley, Chichester
Maxwell S, Delaney H (1990) Designing experiments and analysing data: a model comparison perspective. Wadsworth, Belmont, CA
Tables should be typed on separate sheets. They must all be cited in the text, carry brief but complete titles, and be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Keep rules (horizontal only) to a minimum.
Figures should be used with discretion to clarify (not duplicate) the text. They should be cited in the text, using arabic numerals, and their approximate location in the paper clearly indicated [Figure 1 near here]. They should, for preference, be supplied at reproduction size (single- or double-column width), and lettering should be no smaller than 8pt type. Computer-generated artwork must be submitted as laser printed output at a resolution of 600 dots per inch. Avoid the use of computer-generated tints; substitute hatching in their place. Photographs should be supplied as sharp b/w glossy prints, not laser output photos.
Figures (both photographs and artwork) should be identified lightly on a label attached to the back of the original, and clearly on a set of accompanying photocopies, with an arrow to indicate the top edge of the figure. Do not write directly on the back of any photograph or figure, do not attach paper clips or in any other way distort or scratch the image area. Photomicrographs should have internal scale markers; any symbols, arrows or letters used should be clearly visible against the background.
Legends should be explanatory but succinct. They should carry the arabic numerals applicable to the figures, and be provided as a separate typed (double-spaced) list at the end of the paper, along with the figures themselves.
Elements of Overall Manuscript Style
Units of measurement. Express these in SI and metric units; older conventional units may be added in parentheses. Nomenclature. Use the generic or chemical name of any drug, in lower case; the specific trade name (capitalized) may be given in parentheses after the first text reference.
Abbreviations and symbols. Use standard abbreviations, and define them in full in the first instance unless they are standard units of measurement. Avoid any use of abbreviations in the article title and abstract.
Diskettes. After your paper has been accepted for publication, supply the final version in machine-readable form with a hard copy identical to the data on the disk. For preference use IBM-compatible disks, labeled with file format and file name, and saved into nothing more recent than versions of Word or Wordperfect 5.
Ethics. When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) or with the Declaration of Helsinki 1975, revised Hong Kong 1989. Do not use patients' names, initials or hospital numbers, especially in illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institution's or the National Research Council's guide for, or any national law on, the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
Permissions. Authors must obtain written permission from the copyright holder (original author or publisher) to include in their paper any previously published material. Credit should follow the style and location requested by the copyright holder.
On Publication
The principal (corresponding) author will be mailed 30 free offprints of the article, for distribution amongst all participating authors. No extra offprints are provided, but authors/co-authors may make additional copies of their offprints for the usual purposes of study and distribution. Customized reprints may be ordered, please contact Sage Publications for details.
