About the journal
The Journal of Neuropsychology publishes original contributions to scientific knowledge in neuropsychology including:
• clinical and research studies with neurological, psychiatric and psychological patient populations in all age groups
• behavioural or pharmacological treatment regimes
• cognitive experimentation and neuroimaging
• multidisciplinary approach embracing areas such as developmental psychology, neurology, psychiatry, physiology, endocrinology, pharmacology and imaging science
The following types of paper are invited:
• papers reporting original empirical investigations
• theoretical papers; provided that these are sufficiently related to empirical data
• review articles, which need not be exhaustive, but which should give an interpretation of the state of research in a given field and, where appropriate, identify its clinical implications
• brief reports and comments
• case reports
• fast-track papers (included in the issue following acceptation) reaction and rebuttals (short reactions to publications in JNP followed by an invited rebuttal of the original authors)
• special issues.
The Journal of Neuropsychology is committed to a fast and efficient turnaround of papers, aiming to complete the review process in under two months.

Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Neuropsychology publishes theory-driven patient studies. The central brief is to learn more from patients with brain dysfunctions to gain a better understanding of brain-behaviour relationships and to help future patients. Important developments in neuropsychology will follow from a multidisciplinary approach embracing neighbouring fields such as developmental psychology, neurology, psychiatry, physiology, endocrinology, pharmacology and imaging science. The journal publishes group and case studies addressing fundamental issues concerning the cognitive architecture of the brain. In addition, the journal includes theory-driven studies regarding the epidemiology of specific deficits, new assessment tools, and the evaluation of treatment regimes.
The journal is committed to a fast and efficient turn-around of papers, aiming to complete reviewing in under 90 days. Submissions are processed via a web-based system and reviewers are required to complete their referee report within 28 days.
Papers will be evaluated by the Editorial Board and referees in terms of scientific merit, readability, and interest to a general readership.
1. Quality Control
The content, format, quality and ambition of the JNP as a major outlet for theory-driven neuropsychological studies is under constant review by the Consulting Editors:
• Kenneth M. Heilman (University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainesville, USA)
• Donald T. Stuss (Rotman Research Institute, Baycrest, University of Toronto, Canada)
• Giuseppe Vallar (University of Milan-Bicocca, Italy)
• Elizabeth Warrington (National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London, UK)
2. Circulation
The circulation of the Journal is worldwide. Papers are invited and encouraged from authors throughout the world.
3. Paper formats and length
Research papers are full-length reports of original scientific investigations. Papers should normally be no more than 6000 words excluding abstract (maximum 250 words) and references. Multiple citations for a single point are usually duplicative and authors are urged to cite the best reference. The Editor retains discretion to publish longer papers.
Theoretical or review articles are full-length reviews of, or opinion statements regarding, the literature in a specific scientific area. They need not be exhaustive but should give an interpretation of the state of research in a given field. They should normally be no more than 4000 words excluding abstract (maximum is 250 words) and references. The number of references should not exceed 40-45. Multiple citations for a single point are usually duplicative and authors are urged to cite the best reference. The Editor retains discretion to publish longer papers.
Brief communications are short reports of original research or case reports. They contain no more than 1500 words excluding abstract (maximum is 80 words), references, a total of up to three tables or figures, and no more than 10 references.
Fast-track papers are timely and relevant reports that, to the discretion of the Editor, are included in the issue following acceptance. Authors may ask that their submitted manuscripts are considered for fast-track.
Commentaries and rejoinders are short reactions to publications in JNP followed by an invited rejoinder from the original authors.
Special issues may be proposed to the Editor. The proposal should include a short description of the topic and a number of (possible) contributors. The same quality criteria apply as for other submissions.
4. Submission and reviewing
All manuscripts must be submitted via http://www.editorialmanager.com/jnp/. The Journal operates a policy of anonymous peer review.
5. Manuscript requirements
• Contributions must be typed in double spacing with wide margins. All sheets must be numbered.
• Tables should be typed in double spacing, each on a separate page with a self-explanatory title. Tables should be comprehensible without reference to the text. They should be placed at the end of the manuscript with their approximate locations indicated in the text.
• Figures can be included at the end of the document or attached as separate files, carefully labelled in initial capital/lower case lettering with symbols in a form consistent with text use. Unnecessary background patterns, lines and shading should be avoided. Captions should be listed on a separate sheet. The resolution of digital images must be at least 300 dpi.
• All articles should be preceded by an Abstract (see point 3 for guidelines), giving a concise statement of the intention, results or conclusions of the article.
• For reference citations, please use APA style. Particular care should be taken to ensure that references are accurate and complete. Give all journal titles in full.
• SI units must be used for all measurements, rounded off to practical values if appropriate, with the imperial equivalent in parentheses.
• In normal circumstances, effect size should be incorporated.
• Authors are requested to avoid the use of sexist language.
• Authors are responsible for acquiring written permission to publish lengthy quotations, illustrations, etc. for which they do not own copyright.
For guidelines on editorial style, please consult the APA Publication Manual published by the American Psychological Association.
6. Supporting Information
JNP is happy to accept articles with supporting information supplied for online only publication. This may include appendices, supplementary figures, sound files, videoclips etc. These will be posted on Wiley Online Library with the article. The print version will have a note indicating that extra material is available online. Please indicate clearly on submission which material is for online only publication. Please note that extra online only material is published as supplied by the author in the same file format and is not copyedited or typeset. Further information about this service can be found at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/suppmat.asp.
7. Copyright
Authors will be required to assign copyright to The British Psychological Society. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office and is also available on the journal's website at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/pdf/CTA_BPS.pdf. Government employees in both the US and the UK need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned.
8. Colour illustrations
Colour illustrations can be accepted for publication online. These would be reproduced in greyscale in the print version. If authors would like these figures to be reproduced in colour in print at their expense they should request this by completing a Colour Work Agreement form upon acceptance of the paper. A copy of the Colour Work Agreement form can be downloaded here.
9. Pre-submission English-language editing
Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
10. Author Services
Author Services enables authors to track their article - once it has been accepted - through the production process to publication online and in print. Authors can check the status of their articles online and choose to receive automated e-mails at key stages of production. The author will receive an e-mail with a unique link that enables them to register and have their article automatically added to the system. Please ensure that a complete e-mail address is provided when submitting the manuscript. Visit http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/ for more details on online production tracking and for a wealth of resources including FAQs and tips on article preparation, submission and more.
11. The Later Stages
The corresponding author will receive an email alert containing a link to a web site. A working e-mail address must therefore be provided for the corresponding author. The proof can be downloaded as a PDF (portable document format) file from this site. Acrobat Reader will be required in order to read this file. This software can be downloaded (free of charge) from the following web site: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. This will enable the file to be opened, read on screen and annotated direct in the PDF. Corrections can also be supplied by hard copy if preferred. Further instructions will be sent with the proof. Hard copy proofs will be posted if no e-mail address is available. Excessive changes made by the author in the proofs, excluding typesetting errors, will be charged separately.
12. Early View
Journal of Neuropsychology is covered by the Early View service on Wiley Online Library. Early View articles are complete full-text articles published online in advance of their publication in a printed issue. Articles are therefore available as soon as they are ready, rather than having to wait for the next scheduled print issue. Early View articles are complete and final. They have been fully reviewed, revised and edited for publication, and the authors' final corrections have been incorporated. Because they are in final form, no changes can be made after online publication. The nature of Early View articles means that they do not yet have volume, issue or page numbers, so they cannot be cited in the traditional way. They are cited using their Digital Object Identifier (DOI) with no volume and issue or pagination information. Eg Jones, A.B. (2010). Human rights Issues. doi:10.1111/j.1467-9299.2010.00300.x
