About the journal
|
The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic biological and psychological research to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly and children and adolescents, are welcome. In addition to peer-reviewed original papers, the journal publishes editorials, reviews, and other papers related to the journal's aims

Instructions to Authors
Papers must be written in English. They will be acknowledged on receipt, and then reviewed. The decision on acceptance will usually be conveyed to the authors within two months.
Full Length Papers. Full length research papers will not normally be more than 4000 words in length and will preferably be shorter. Submission of a paper to the Journal of Psychosomatic Research will be held to imply that it represents original research not previously published (except in the form of an abstract or preliminary report), that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted by the Journal of Psychosomatic Research it will not be published elsewhere in the same form in any language without the consent of the Publisher. Major papers of topical content will be given priority in publication.
Short Reports. The Journal welcomes short reports, which may be either preliminary communications or brief accounts of original research. Case reports will be published only if they illustrate important issues. The text must not exceed 1500 words. Short reports will normally be published more quickly than full length papers.
Editorials. The Editors welcome suggestions for editorials which give personal and topical views on subjects within the Journal's area of interest. They should not normally exceed 1500 words.
Review Articles. Review papers are normally 4000-5000 words. Authors are advised to consult one of the Editors with an outline before submitting a review.
Letters to the Editors. These normally refer to articles previously published in the Journal. The Editors are also willing to consider letters on subjects of direct relevance to the Journal's interest.
Book Reviews. These are normally submitted by the Book Review Editors, but they welcome suggestions of books for review.
Other Papers. The Editors welcome suggestions for other types of papers, such as conference reports, accounts of major research in progress and interviews with senior research workers. These should not be submitted without prior consultation.
Manuscript Requirements
Manuscripts should conform to the uniform requirements known as the 'Vancouver style' (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals. N Engl J Med 1997; 336:309-315). The Editors and Referees attach considerable importance to a succinct and lucid prose style and well organized tables. Authors whose native language is not English are advised to seek help before submission. Statistical procedures should be clearly explained.
Manuscripts should be typed with wide margins, double-spaced on one side of standard A4 or 8.5" x 11" paper. The format should be as follows:
Title page. This should contain (a) the title of the article; (b) a short running head; (c) name of department where the work was conducted; (d) names of the each author with highest academic degree; (e) name, address, phone and fax of author responsible for correspondence and to whom requests for reprints should be addressed; (f) up to six keywords should be listed in alphabetical order after the abstract. These terms should optimally characterize the paper.
Abstract. This should be subdivided under the headings Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusion and should not exceed 150 words.
Text. This should be divided into sections with main headings: Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion. Accepted papers will usually be between 2000 and 4000 words in length.
Acknowledgments. These must include mention of any source of funding outside the basic funding of the host institution.
References. These should be numbered consecutively in the text in the order in which they are first mentioned and be so denoted in the list. Their form should be that adopted by the US National Library of Medicine, as used in the Index Medicus and as recognized in Uniform Requirements:

Tables. Each should be on a separate sheet, numbered consecutively in Roman numerals.
Figures A glossy photograph or clear ink drawing of each should be sent. Each figure should be numbered on the back and the top should be marked. A photocopy should be attached to each copy of the manuscript. Captions should be on a separate sheet. The number of illustrations should be kept to a minimum. Color illustrations are not normally acceptable. Authors may be asked to support the costs of color reproduction.
Letters to the Editors. Letters should not exceed 1000 words and, where appropriate, must begin with the reference to the published article about which the author is commenting.
Authors are encouraged to submit a computer disk (5.25" or 3.5" HD/DD disk) containing the final version of their papers along with the final manuscript to the editorial office. Please send disk only after manuscript has been accepted for publication. Please observe the following criteria: (1) Specify what software was used, including which release (e.g., WordPerfect 6.0); (2) Specify what computer was used (either IBM compatible PC or Apple Macintosh); (3) Include both the text file and ASCII file on the disk; (4) The file should be single-spaced and should use the wrap-around end-of-line feature (i.e., no returns at the end of each line). All textual elements should begin flush left, no paragraph indents. Place two returns after each element such as title, headings, paragraphs, figure and table callouts, etc.; (5) Keep a back-up disk for reference and safety.
Submission Of Manuscripts
Each manuscript should be accompanied by a covering letter in which: (1) all authors must give signed consent to publication; (2) relationship of the submitted paper to any other published, submitted or proposed papers reporting the same study is explained. Three high quality copies are required. Authors from the United Kingdom and the remainder of Europe should send manuscripts to PROF.
