Upon acceptance of an article, the author(s) will be required to assign copyright ownership in writing to the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine. A copyright transfer form, which must be signed by all authors, is available here.
Peer Review
All manuscripts are subject to peer review to determine the originality, validity, and significance of the submitted material. Criteria for publication include scientific merit, interest to clinicians, and pertinence to clinical psychiatry and the interrelationship of psychiatry and medical practice. The review process is usually completed within 8 weeks, but delays sometimes occur. Reviewers' comments will be returned with rejected manuscripts at the discretion of the editors.

The cover page must contain the article title, authors' names and affiliations, address for correspondence and reprint requests, and phone number.
