About the journal
Psychophysiology is the oldest, first, and most established journal in its field. This prestigious international journal plays a key role in advancing psychophysiological science and human neuroscience, covering research on the interrelationships between the physiological and psychological aspects of brain and behavior. Psychophysiology reports on new theoretical, empirical and methodological advances in: psychology and psychiatry, cognitive science, cognitive and affective neuroscience, social science, health science and behavioral medicine, and biomedical engineering. The journal publishes theoretical papers, evaluative reviews of literature, empirical papers, methodological articles, meeting announcements, and fellowship opportunities.
Instructions to Authors
AIMS AND SCOPE.
Psychophysiology publishes original, full-length articles in any area of psychophysiological research: theoretical papers, experimental studies, evaluative reviews of literature, and methodological developments (e.g., experimental procedures, statistical analysis, instrumentation, and computer techniques). A brief-report format is also available for high-quality research that may include but is not limited to papers that are more narrow in scope, contains novel findings that merit replication, contains replications or in some cases, failures to replicate previously published provocative results. Archival documents of the Society for Psychophysiological Research and occasionally solicited book reviews are also published in the journal. Letters to the Editor are not accepted.
ORIGINALITY AND COPYRIGHT.
To be considered for publication in Psychophysiology, a manuscript cannot have been published previously, nor can it be under review for publication elsewhere. Papers with multiple authors are reviewed with the assumption that all authors have approved the submitted manuscript and concur with its submission to Psychophysiology. A Copyright Transfer Agreement, with certain specified rights reserved by the author, must be signed and returned to the Editor by the corresponding author of an accepted manuscript before publication. This is necessary for the wide distribution of research findings and the protection of both the author and the publisher under copyright law.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION AND REVIEW.
As of January 1, 2006, manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the Incoming Editor, Robert F. Simons, at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/psyp. For all submissions, the author should include a brief cover letter that provides complete contact information for the submitting author. If data from human subjects are reported in the manuscript, the cover letter should include a statement indicating that informed consent was obtained and that the rights of the subjects were protected. If infrahuman subjects were used, the statement should indicate that they were treated in accordance with appropriate institutional guidelines. The Electronic submissions should be in Rich Text Format, Word, WordPerfect, or plain ASCII text format (see author online help for other formats). Manuscripts should be double spaced with 1" margins. Preferred font is Times New Roman (10-12 point). At initial submission, all tables and figures may be embedded in the main document file. Manuscripts accepted for publication must have the associated figures and tables uploaded individually and appended to the main document at final submission (see below for formatting instructions).
Review process.
The Editorial Office will acknowledge receipt of the manuscript, provide it with manuscript reference number, and in most cases assign it for review to an Associate Editor on the Editorial Board (the Action Editor). The Action Editor will normally select at least two additional referees to review each manuscript. After initial assignment of the manuscript, correspondence from the author should be directed to the specific Action Editor. Every effort is made to provide the author with an action letter within 8 weeks of manuscript assignment. If the Action Editor requests that revisions be made to a manuscript before acceptance for publication, a maximum of 3 months will be allowed for preparation of the revision, except in unusual circumstances (to be determined by the Action Editor).
MANUSCRIPT LENGTH.
Manuscripts will rarely exceed 30 pages of text (about 12 printed pages) and shorter manuscripts are typical. To qualify for consideration as a Brief Report, manuscripts should not exceed 3,500 words, including references, tables, figures, figure legends, and abstract. Each table and each figure corresponds to 250 words.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND STYLE.
Unless otherwise specified, the guideline for preparation of manuscripts is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). It may be ordered from: APA Publications, American Psychological Association, 750 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242,USA; telephone 800-374-2721 or 202-336-5500; web http://www.apa.org/books/.
Abbreviations and Acronyms.
The use of abbreviations and acronyms, except for those that are quite common in this journal (i. e., EEG, EMG, EOG, ERP, SCL, LRP, etc.) is strongly discouraged. Authors should be careful to insure that idiosyncratic acronyms are not included in the submitted version, as this will improve readability for the Action Editor and the reviewers. In addition, authors will be asked to remove idiosyncratic acronyms in any accepted manuscripts. For units of measurement, metric system units, as specified by the International System of Units, should be used.
Repeated measures.
Authors submitting articles involving within-subjects repeated-measures variables should consult Jennings et al., 1987, Psychophysiology, 24, 474-478 for journal policy concerning repeated-measures designs. The Huynh-Feldt, Geisser-Greenhouse, or similar correction should be undertaken for univariate repeated-measures ANOVA tests involving more than one degree of freedom, in which case the uncorrected degrees of freedom, the corrected p value, and the epsilon value should be reported. In addition, we ask that authors explicitly mention how they deal with validity assumptions when group sizes are unequal with regard to omnibus and sub-effect hypotheses (i.e., main and interaction effect tests, simple-effect tests, and multiple-comparison tests). It is recommended that, when applicable, non-pooled and/or corrected degrees-of-freedom statistics be used (see Keselman, 1998, Psychophysiology, 35, 470-478).
Effect sizes.
When describing results, authors are encouraged to report measures of effect size in addition to probability values. If effect sizes are not reported, sufficient detail should be provided to enable effect size computation.
MANUSCRIPT ELEMENTS AND ORDER.
Please insure that page numbers are visible on all pages of a submitted manuscript. The pages of the manuscript should be arranged as follows, per the APA Publication Manual:
First page. Title page containing title (25 words, maximum), names and institutional affiliations, and running head (50 characters, maximum). Please include name, address, phone, and email information for the corresponding author on this page.
Second page. An abstract of not more than 960 characters, including statement of the problem, method, results, and conclusions of experimental and methodological articles or summary of major issues, source of observations, and conclusions of theoretical articles. In most data papers, the abstract should make clear not just what empirical relationship was evaluated but what the primary substantive or methodological issue was that motivated the study.
Third page. The first page of the introductory section.
Subsequent pages. Unless there are compelling reasons for variation, subsequent pages will include Methods section, Results section, and Discussion section, with subsections as needed. Further sections are ordered as follows, with each section beginning new page: References, Author Notes, Footnotes, Tables, Figure Captions, and Figures. The Author Note includes any acknowledgments and the name and address for reprints. Each table and figure should be on a separate page.
FIGURES.
Authors should do their best to construct figures with notations and data points of sufficient size to permit legible photo reduction to one column of a two-column page. As a guide, no character should be smaller than 1 mm wide after reduction. The standard errors of the mean should be depicted whenever possible. The preferred formats for the electronic figures, photographs, or other artwork that accompany the final version of the manuscript are TIFF or EPS. Minimum resolutions are 300 dpi for tones and 600 -1200 dpi for line art. Rules should be at least 1/2 point. Use of shading should be limited. More detailed information on the submission of electronic artwork can be found at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/eachecklist.asp.
Color Artwork. For SPR members, color pages that are deemed 'essential' by both the corresponding author and the editor will be provided at no cost. For non-member corresponding authors, one essential color page will be provided at no cost. Subsequent color pages will be billed at $250 per page. It is important to note, however, that all authors who submit usable color figures will have these figures appear in color on the Web version of the Journal regardless of how they appear in print. The preferred format of color images is either TIFF or EPS in CMYK color mode.
COPY-EDITING AND PAGE PROOFS.
The publisher reserves the right to copy-edit manuscripts. The corresponding author will receive page proofs for final proofreading. These should be checked and returned within 2 days of receipt. The costs of excessive author's alterations are chargeable to the author.
REPRINTS.
The corresponding author will receive 25 free reprints. Additional reprints must be ordered when page proofs are returned. Price lists and order forms will be sent with page proofs.
