About the journal
Aging & Mental Health has now been accepted into the Essential Science Indicators database. The journal has also experienced an impressive increase in citations, with a 2004 impact factor of 1.058.
Aging & Mental Health provides a leading forum for the rapidly expanding field which investigates the relationship between the aging process and mental health. The international impact of the journal is well recognized. It has readers in over 40 countries, a good impact factor and has been accepted for coverage in MEDLINE, Current Contents and other widely used indexing systems. The journal addresses the mental changes associated with normal and abnormal or pathological aging, as well as the psychological and psychiatric problems of the aging population.
Aging & Mental Health covers the biological, psychological and social aspects of aging as they relate to mental health. In particular it encourages an integrated approach between the various biopsychosocial processes and etiological factors associated with psychological changes in the elderly. It also emphasizes the various strategies, therapies and services which may be directed at improving the mental health of the elderly. In this way the journal has a strong alliance between the theoretical, experimental and applied sciences across a range of issues affecting mental health and aging. The journal provides an original and dynamic focus to help integrate the normal and abnormal aspects of mental health in aging. In addition, theoretical issues can be set in the context of the important new practical developments in this field.
Instructions to Authors
***Note to Authors: please make sure your contact address information is clearly visible on the outside of all packages you are sending to Editors.***
Aging and Mental Health welcomes original contributions from all parts of the world on the understanding that their contents have not previously been published nor submitted elsewhere for publication. We encourage the submission of timely review articles that summarize emerging trends in an area of mental health and aging, or which address issues which have been overlooked in the field. Reviews should be conceptual and address theory and methodology as appropriate. All submissions will be sent anonymously to independent referees. It is a condition of acceptance that papers become the copyright of the publisher. Books for review should be sent to Dr Chris Gilleard, Psychology Department, Springfield Hospital, Tooting, London SW17 7DJ, UK.
Manuscripts Aging & Mental Health is moving to an electronic submission system and has a new editorial e-mail address: amh@ucl.ac.uk.
All editorial correspondence, including manuscripts for submission should be sent to Professor Martin Orrell at amh@ucl.ac.uk or Professor Dan G. Blazer at blaze001@mc.duke.edu. Word format is preferred. General enquires can be sent to m.orrell@ucl.ac.uk. Books for review should be sent to Professor Murna Downs, Bradford Dementia Group, School of Health Studies, University of Bradford, Bradford BD5 0BB, UK.
If submission by email is not possible, four complete copies (with electronic copy on disc) can be submitted to either Editor: Professor Martin Orrell, Department of Mental Health Sciences, University College London, Wolfson Building, 48 Riding House Street, London W1W 7EY, UK, or Dan Blazer, J. P. Gibbons Professor of Psychiatry, Duke University Medical Center, School of Medicine, Box 3005, Durham, NC 27710, USA.
All submissions should be in the style of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th edition, 1994). Papers should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced throughout (including the references), with margins of at least 2.5 cm (1 inch). All pages must be numbered.
The first page should include the title of the paper, first name, middle initial(s) and last name of the author(s), and for each author a short institutional address, and an abbreviated title (for running headlines within the article). At the bottom of the page give the full name and address (including telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address if possible) of the author to whom all correspondence (including proofs) should be sent. The second page should repeat the title and contain an abstract of not more than 200 words. The third page should repeat the title as a heading to the main body of the text.
The text should normally be divided into sections with the headings Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion. Long articles may need subheadings within some sections to clarify their content. Within the text section headings and subheadings should be typed on a separate line without numbering, indentation or bold or italic typeface.
Electronic Submission We prefer email submissions only - in Microsoft Word format. Do not save your files as "text only" or "read only".
References References should follow APA style. All publications cited in the text should be listed following the text; all references listed must be mentioned in the text. Within the text references should be denoted by the author's name and year of publication in parentheses, e.g. (Woods, 1995) or (Mansell & McGill, 1995) or, if there are more than two authors, (Gallico et al., 1986). Where several references are quoted consecutively within the text the order should be alphabetical, e.g. (Elford & Sherr, 1989; Folkman, 1992). Similarly, where several references are quoted within a single year, the order should be alphabetical (Mansell & McGill, 1995; Woods, 1995). If more than one paper from the same author(s) and year is listed, the date should be followed by (a), (b) etc., e.g. (Blazer, 1995a).
References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order, typed in double spacing. Responsibility for the references and their verification against the original documents lies with the author(s).
References should be listed on a separate sheet(s) in the following standard form, capitalisation and punctuation:
a) for periodical articles (titles of journals should not be abbreviated):
WOODS, B. (1995). Dementia care: progress and prospects. Journal of Mental Health, 5, 115-124.
b) for books:
NORMAN, A. (1987). Aspects of ageism. London: Centre for Policy on Ageing.
c) for chapters within multi-authored books:
ROBERTSON, I. T. (1994). Personality and personnel selection. In C. L. COOPER & D. M. ROUSSEAU (Eds.), Trends in organizational behavior (pp. 75-89). Chichester: Wiley.
Units of measurement All measurements must be cited in SI units.
Illustrations All illustrations (including photographs, graphs and diagrams) should be referred to as Figures and their position indicated in the text (e.g. Fig. 3). Each should be submitted on a separate sheet of paper, numbered on the back with Figure number (Arabic numerals) and the title of the paper. The captions of all figures should be submitted on a separate sheet, should include keys to symbols, and should make interpretation possible without reference to the text.
Figures should ideally be professionally drawn and designed with the format of the journal (A4 portrait, 297 x 210 mm) in mind and should be capable of reduction.
Tables Tables should be submitted on separate sheets, numbered in Arabic numerals, and their position indicated in the text (e.g. Table 1). Each table should have a short, self-explanatory title. Vertical rules should not be used to separate columns. Units should appear in parentheses in the column heading but not in the body of the table. Any explanatory notes should be given as a footnote at the bottom of the table.
Proofs Proofs will be sent to the author nominated for correspondence. Proofs are supplied for checking and making essential typographical corrections, not for general revision or alteration. Proofs must be returned (by air mail or fax if overseas) within 72 hours of receipt.
Early Electronic Offprints Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author's preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
Copyright It is a condition of publication that authors vest or license copyright in their articles, including abstracts, in Routledge Ltd. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and the journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors may, of course, use the article elsewhere after publication without prior permission from Taylor & Francis, provided that acknowledgement is given to the Journal as the original source of publication, and that Taylor & Francis is notified so that our records show that its use is properly authorised. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.
