5. Exclusive License Form: Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive License Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication.

6. Manuscripts should be double spaced and conform to the house style of CAMH. The first page of the manuscript should give the title, name(s) and address(es) of author(s), and an abbreviated title (running head) of up to 80 characters. Specify the author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Summary: Authors should include a brief Abstract highlighting the main points of their article. This abstract should not exceed 100 words and should be structured under the headings: Background; Method; Results; Conclusions. Keywords (3-6) should be given below the Abstract.
7. Papers submitted should be concise and written in English in a readily understandable style, avoiding sexist and racist language. Papers should not exceed 5,500 words, including References and Tables. Occasionally, longer articles may be accepted after negotiation with the Editors. Authors should include a word count of their paper.
8. Authors who do not have English as a first language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited prior to submission; a list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at www.blackwellpublishing.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.
9. For referencing CAMH follows a slightly adapted version of the style used by The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (i.e. APA). References in running text should be quoted showing author(s) and date. For up to three authors, all surnames should be given on first citation; for subsequent citations or where there are more than three authors, 'et al.' should be used. A full reference list should be given at the end of the article, in alphabetical order.
References to journal articles should include the authors' surnames and initials, the year of publication, the full title of the paper, the full name of the journal, the volume number, and inclusive page numbers. Titles of journals must not be abbreviated. References to chapters in books should include authors' surnames and initials, year of publication, full chapter title, editors' initials and surnames, full book title, page numbers, place of publication and publisher.
10. Tables: These should be kept to a minimum and not duplicate what is in the text; they should be clearly set out and numbered and should appear at the end of the main text, with their intended position clearly indicated in the manuscript.
11. Figures: Any figures, charts or diagrams should be originated in a drawing package and saved within the Word file or as an EPS or TIFF file. See http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/illustration.asp for further guidelines on preparing and submitting artwork. Titles or captions should be clear and easy to read. These should appear at the end of the main text.
12. Footnotes: These should be avoided as much as possible, but if absolutely necessary use a superscript number for footnote indicators in the text, and give footnotes at the bottom of the relevant page of text.
13. Proofs: Proofs will be sent to the designated author only. These will be sent via e-mail as a PDF file and therefore a current e-mail address must always be given to the journal office. Only typographical or factual errors may be changed at proofs stage, and the publisher reserves the right to charge authors for correction of non-typographical errors.
14. The designated author of a published paper will receive a PDF file of their final published article. The designated author should undertake to forward copies of the PDF file to their co-authors.
Practice Guidelines
In recent years, there have been several standard frameworks for child mental health disorders and services such as the NICE guidelines in the UK and the Practice Parameters in the US. How are practitioners, researchers and services responding to such guidelines? We wish to contribute to evidence-base and knowledge on effective practice, interventions and service models by publishing high quality papers on how services are implementing standards and guidelines. Submitted papers should preferably have an evaluation component, although innovative brief discussion papers will also be considered. As with all sections of the journal, we are keen to encompass manuscripts from the broad international CAMH community.
Papers should follow the standard format for Original Articles but preferably be no more than 3,000 words. If you are interested in contributing a paper discussing the above, please contact the CAMH Editorial Office as soon as possible with a brief outline, at camh@acamh.org.uk
Innovations in Practice
Child and Adolescent Mental Health aspires to promote evidence-based practice, treatment and service models. In this rapidly evolving field, it is important to share knowledge on new and interesting developments among our wide international multidisciplinary readership. In doing so, we recognise that, albeit desirable, new interventions and services can not be formally evaluated for some time. This should not preclude the dissemination of their underpinning principles and lessons learned that can be adapted or applied to other settings.
For this reason, we warmly welcome contributions on innovative aspects of practice, interventions or services. Some are planned, while others are responsive to need, evolution of existing services, or simply arise because of changing circumstances or technology.
It will be extremely valuable to share lessons from new services, described in the context of their culture, society, and welfare or health system. Even in the absence of formal evaluation, such discussion papers should still be considered in the light of existing evidence, and should be accompanied by supportive data as far as possible. The editors are happy to discuss ideas and suggestions for future contributions, which will greatly promote high quality practice among the child and adolescent mental health community.
Papers should follow the standard format for Original Articles but should not exceed 2500 words, including references.
