About the journal
Psychoneuroendocrinology
Psychoneuroendocrinology publishes papers dealing with the interrelated disciplines of psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology, immunology, neurology, and psychiatry, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary studies aiming at integrating these disciplines in terms of either basic research or clinical implications. One of the main goals is to understand how a variety of psychobiological factors interact in the expression of the stress response as it relates to the development and/or maintenance of neuropsychiatric illnesses. The journal is international and comprises original research papers, reviews of an area of the literature, or at an appropriate stage in the development of the author's own work, commentaries in areas of current interest, short communications and book reviews. Although reviews, editorials and commentaries are usually by invitation, interested authors can contact one of the Co-Editors-in-Chief to discuss the suitability of topics for either category of manuscripts.
The journal is affiliated with the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology and reports the Society's news and other matters of importance.

Instructions to Authors
Submission of Papers
Authors are requested to submit their original manuscript and figures on a PC compatible disk that is saved in Rich Text Format (RTF). The disk and four paper copies should be sent to either: Dr. Robert Dantzer, INRA-INSERM U394, Rue Camille Saint-Saens, 33077 Bordeaux Cedex, France; or Dr. Ned H. Kalin, Psychoneuroendocrinology, Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin Medical School, 6001 Research Park Boulevard, Madison, WI 53719, USA. The disk should match the hard copies exactly. Authors are advised to choose the geographically closer Editor. Four or five names suitable to review the manuscript (including their phone, fax and e-mail details) should be supplied by the author.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher.
All experiments on human subjects should be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Manuscripts must be accompanied by a statement that all procedures were carried out with the adequate understanding and written consent of the subjects. All animal experiments should be carried out in accordance with the UK Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act of 1986 and associated guidelines, the European Communities Council Directive of 24 November 1986 (86/609/EEC), or the National Institutes of Health Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NIH Publications No. 80-23, revised 1978). Manuscripts should be accompanied by a statement that all efforts were made to minimize animal suffering, to reduce the number of animals used, and to utilize alternatives to in vivo techniques, if available. Authors are advised to consult the article "A fair press for animals" [New Scientist (1992) 1816: 18-30] before preparing their manuscripts. The Editors reserve the right to reject papers if there is doubt whether suitable procedures have been used.
Types of Contributions
Original research papers; short communications describing new methods or the results of experiments that can be reported briefly are encouraged. They should comprise no more than 2000 words with a maximum of two illustrations (figures or tables).
Book Form: Books for review may be sent to Dr. Robert Dantzer. Book reviews are usually solicited by Dr. Dantzer. Authors interested in reviewing a particular book should communicate directly with him.
Letters to the Editor: Submission of correspondence that provides a forum for the discussion of recent articles published in Psychoneuroendocrinology should not exceed 500 words (including references). Tables and/or figures should not be used. Letters critical of an article published in the Journal must be received within 8 weeks of the article's publication; letters from outside the United States must be received within 12 weeks. Letters received after the deadline will not be considered for publication and those accepted will be sent to the authors for reply.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Papers should be written in English. Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final version. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use.
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title page (Authors, Affiliations), Summary, Keywords, Main text (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion), Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Vitae, Figure Captions and Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. All other footnotes (except for table footnotes) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers. The title page, references, figure legends, acknowledgements and footnotes should be on separate pages.
Title page: The first page should contain the title, authors' names, and affiliations with complete addresses for all authors. The corresponding author should also be identified, including a complete mailing address with telephone and fax numbers, and an E-mail address, if available (as well as any upcoming address changes).
Summary: On the second page there should be a concise Summary. A list of six keywords suitable for indexing terms should be included at the bottom of the Summary page. These terms will be printed with the paper at the end of the Summary.
Body of manuscript: The paper itself should start on the third typed page with an Introduction. This should consist of an outline of the current state of knowledge in the field followed by a description of the study. The Methods section should contain sufficient technical details and references to enable the work to be repeated in another laboratory. A Results section should follow and a Discussion section should conclude the paper.
Acknowledgement: Acknowledgements for assistance in completion of the study, preparation of the manuscript, statistical analysis, grant or foundation support, etc., and dedications should appear in a separate Acknowledgements section after the Discussion.
Abbreviations: The Council of Biology Editors (CBE) Style Manual should be used for style. Abbreviations should be spelled out the first time they are used in the manuscripts; less common abbreviations should also be spelled out in tables and figures.
Example
........infusion of a tracer dose of titrated norepinephrine (NE).....
Metric and English measurement abbreviations require no explanation. The abbreviations listed below should be used and do not require explanation. Periods are not used:
Example
border=1>
| hour(s)/minute(s)/seconds(s) |
h/min/s
|
| intravenous/oral/subcutaneous |
IV/PO/SC |
Numbers one through nine should be spelled out; numerals should be used for all numbers above nine and for those used with abbreviations and measurements.
Examples
five patients, 15 rats, 1h, 17h, 1.0 cm
Time is shown by the 24-hour clock (8:30 AM should be written as 0830h).
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to the author's name (without initials) and year of publication (e.g. "Since Peterson (1993) has shown that..." or "This is in the agreement with results obtained later (Kramer, 1994)"). For three or more authors use the first author followed by "et al.", in the text. Where two or more references are cited together in the text, they should be in chronological order and separated by a semicolon (Watkins and Maier, 1994; Bluthe et al., 1999; Kubera and Maes, 2000). The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors= names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list. For Short Communications, the reference section is limited to 15 references.
References should be given in the following form:
Frommberger, U.H., Bauer, J., Haselbauer, P., Fraulin, A., Riemann, D., Berger, M., 1997. Interleukin-6(IL-6) plasma levels in depression and schizophrenia: comparison between the acute state and after remission. Eur. Arch. Psychiatry Clin. Neurosci. 247, 228-233.

Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour: Where colour figures are required the author will be charged at the current colour printing costs.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs).
Electronic Submission
Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the final version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly.
