About the journal
|
Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.

Instructions to Authors
Types of Contributions: 1. Original, Theoretical, and Empirical Contributions: (16-20 pages of text): Include a clear introductory statement of purpose; historical review when desirable; description of method and scope of observations; full presentation of the results; brief comment/discussion on the significance of the findings and any correlation with others in the literature; section on speculation and relevance or implications; summary in brief which may include discussion. Abstracts and references are required. 2. Brief Communications: Shorter articles of 5-7 pages (abstracts and/or references optional). 3. Articles on Clinical Practice: Case studies (but not single cases), commentaries, process and program descriptions, clinical audit and outcome studies, original clinical practice ideas for debate and argument. 4. Invited Reviews: Plans for proposed reviews are invited in draft outline in the first instance. The editors will commission reviews on specific topics. Reviews submitted without invitation or prior approval will be returned. 5. Letters to the Editor: Letters and responses pertaining to articles published in Child Abuse and Neglect or on issues relevant to the field, brief and to the point, should be prepared in the same style as other manuscripts. 6. Announcements/Notices: Events of national or international multidisciplinary interests are subject to editorial approval and must be submitted at least 8 months before they are to appear.
Submission Requirements: Authors are strongly encouraged to utilize the Elsevier Editorial System (EES)http://ees.elsevier.com/chiabuneg/default.asp. Instructions are provided at each step of the submission process. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing when papers are accepted. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor-in-Chief's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the Author's homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail. For those authors unable to utilize the EES system, the Journal will accept submissions sent directly to the editorial office; please contact the office (mary.roth@yale.edu) for instructions. Manuscripts may be submitted in English, French, or Spanish. A letter to the editor-in-chief (John M. Leventhal) requesting review must be included, noting that the manuscript has not been previously published and is not under simultaneous review elsewhere; authors are welcome to suggest names (with complete contact information) of three (3) potential reviewers. Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission from copyright owners to reprint any previously published material included in their article. The editors reserve the right to refuse any manuscript submitted, whether by invitation or otherwise, and to make suggestions and modifications before publication. Submitted papers must be in final form when submitted; manuscripts will be returned for reworking or retyping that do not conform to required style and format.
Where To Send Papers: http://ees.elsevier.com/chiabuneg/default.asp; contact the editorial office directly for instructions if unable to utilize the EES submission system. Questions? E-mailmary.roth@yale.edu or call 203-764-9170.
Style and Manuscript Order: Manuscripts must be prepared following the general style guidelines set forth in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Submitted papers should be in final form ready for publication. Manuscripts will be returned for reworking or retyping that do not conform to requirements.
First Title Page: To facilitate blind reviews, all indication of authorship, including acknowledgements, must be limited to this page. Title page should include (1) full article title; (2) name, affiliation including city and state/country for each author at the time of the work; (3) name, mailing address, telephone, fax, and e-mail of corresponding author; (4) name and complete address for reprint requests; (5) 3-5 keywords for indexing purposes; and (6) all acknowledgements and support notes.
Second Title Page: Type only the title and remove other indications of author identity.
Practice Implications: Authors should provide a 100-word paragraph describing the practice implications of their manuscripts to help translate research into clinical practice. Please do not incorporate this page into the text of the paper itself.
Abstract: A structured abstract (Objective, Methods, Results, Conclusions) not to exceed 250 words in length covering the main factual points is required. Use complete sentences, and spell out acronyms at first mention.
Main Text: Should be clearly organized, with headings and subheadings as needed (3 weights of headings maximum). If human subjects are involved, approval by an institutional review board and the informed consent of participants must be reported. Avoid the use of first person (we, our, I). Use of footnotes is not permitted; footnoted material must be incorporated into the text or deleted.
References: Style and formatting of bibliographic citations in the text and the reference section must adhere to the guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. The Journal uses an alphabetical style rather than a numeric style both in the text and bibliography. No abbreviations of journal titles or use of et al. is permitted in the bibliography.
Tables/Figures: Cite each table/figure clearly in text. Tables should be arranged one to a page with a self-contained title that is understandable without reference to the text. Figures should be computer generated, one per page, with legends on a separate sheet.
Copyright: Upon acceptance of the manuscript, authors must complete a Transfer of Copyright Agreement as well as provide additional materials and information requested by the editorial office and/or publisher.
Review, Editing, and Production: All initial submissions are acknowledged on receipt. Peer review is generally double-blind, although it is sometimes clear to one or the other who is involved. Scheduling and production processes currently take 6 months once manuscripts are accepted and all required information is in-house. The publisher and editor reserve the right to copyedit manuscripts to conform to Journal style. The corresponding author will receive page proofs for correction of typographical errors only. No rewriting of the original manuscript as accepted is allowed in the proof stage. Authors must return proofs within 48 hours of receipt; late corrections cannot be guaranteed. Twenty-five free reprints are provided; orders for additional reprints must be received before printing in order to qualify for lower pre-publication rates (co-author requirements must be included on this form).
