Instructions to Authors
Article types
Quality of Life Research welcomes scientific articles in the following categories:
• Full-Length Original Articles (must include a 250-word structured abstract, maximum word limit of 4,000 words exclusive of abstract, tables, figures, and references)
• Brief Communications (maximum word limit of 1,500 words, exclusive of structured abstract, tables, figures, and references). See section below on Brief Communications.
Full-Length Original Articles
Original articles are a maximum of 4,000 words, exclusive of a 250-word structured abstract, figures, tables, and references. We are particularly interested in studies that utilize patient-reported outcomes, focusing on clinical and policy applications of quality-of-life research; showcasing quantitative and qualitative methodological advances; and / or describing instrument development.
Brief Communications
Brief communications are a maximum of 1,500 words, exclusive of a 200-word structured abstract, up to 2 figures, up to 3 tables, and 25 references. Any topic can be submitted as a brief communication, but all manuscripts that report cross-cultural adaptations of existing measures will only be considered for publication as brief communications in Quality of Life Research. If a paper of this type provides substantially new methodological and/or substantive knowledge (e.g., a superior method of cross cultural adaptation, more thorough evaluation of the original instrument being adapted, multi-language or multi-country comparisons, etc.), authors should include a letter with their submission justifying the need for a full length report. All cross-cultural translation articles should include information in the abstract and manuscript text that summarize how psychometric characteristics of the new translation compares to the original tool.
Other Types of Articles
The journal also publishes commentaries and editorials; reviews of the literature; reviews of recent books and software advances; and abstracts presented at the annual meeting of the International Society of Quality of Life Research conference. These articles should be as long as needed to convey the desired information, and no more than 4,000 words in length. To the extent that it is possible, a structured abstract is appreciated.
Language
We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language usage is corrected before submission using standard United States or United Kingdom English. This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language.
