Objectifs / Aims and Scope : European Psychiatry presents the results of original research relative to those domains which are presently of interest to psychiatry: psychopathology, nosography, chemotherapy, psychotherapy, clinical methodology, biological disorders and mental pathology, psychophysiology, neuropsychology, as well as animal behavior. This wide scope emphasizing, nevertheless, the publication of original articles, is aimed at: 1) encouraging the exchange of ideas and research within Europe, 2) establishing within the international psychiatric community an improved level of scientific communication. Short communications will be published rapidly in order to keep information in this journal up-to-date. In the years to come, European Psychiatry will endeavour not only to publish high level scientific original articles, short communications and editorials, but also letters to the editor, AEP newsletters, book reviews, information on new regulations in Europe and conference calendar.

Instructions to Authors
European Psychiatry is the official journal of the Association of European Psychiatrists (AEP). To ensure a timely publication process, authors are requested to follow the instructions indicated in the guide for authors.
Submission of a manuscript implies that it contains original work, and has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere (except in the form of an abstract). It also implies the transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher.
Authors should submit their articles electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. All correspondence, including notification of the Editors?decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the author’s homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy trail. For access, visit http://ees.elsevier.com/eurpsy
A first-time user of the system should register by entering his first and last names, and his e-mail address. Soon after he will receive a confirmation of his username and password, which will give him access at all times, via author-login.
For any submission, separate files are needed for
- the manuscript ?title of the article, names of the authors, affiliations, abstracts, keywords, text, references, tables and their legends, legends of figures
- figures ?one file per figure.
Accepted papers are subject to editorial revision. Rejected manuscripts are not returned to the author. The Journal is not responsible for loss.
In case of technical difficulties, please contact authorsupport@elsevier.com
Presentation of manuscripts Articles are in English.
In the title page, it is essential to give full addresses for each author. Telephone and fax numbers with country and area code should be provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
The corresponding author, who will be the contact at all stages of the publication, must be clearly indicated.
Abstracts Original articles should include a 200-word abstract, outlining the study in its entirety, including purpose, subjects/materials and methods, results, discussion and conclusion. Review articles should be summarized by an abstract of similar length. Short and rapid communications should be outlined by an abstract of no more than 50 words.
Keywords Three to six keywords should be chosen carefully, as they are used for indexing purposes.
Abbreviations Abbreviations should be defined in the text the first time they are used. After this point, they should be used exclusively and not interchangeably with their definition.
Organization of the manuscript Original articles should not exceed 5000 words or the equivalent space including abstracts and references. They should include an objective, methods, results and a conclusion. The text should be ordered under the following principle headings (subheadings are acceptable), with each heading and subheading clearly defined:
- Introduction
- Subjects and methods/Materials and methods
- Results
- Discussion
- Conclusion
- Acknowledgments (when appropriate)
- References
Review articles should not exceed 5000 words or the equivalent space including abstract and references. Short communications should not exceed 1500 words or the equivalent space, including figures and tables. Rapid communications are articles containing preliminary but consistent results, and are published within three months after acceptance. To reach such limited delay, please be advised that the reviewers?recommendations are limited to an “accept or reject?decision, hence no revisions are possible by authors. They should not exceed 1000 words or the equivalent space. Only one table and one figure may be included. Figures should be submitted in a form suitable for direct reproduction. References should be limited to a maximum of 10 and are in addition to the 1000 words. Following acceptance of an article in this category, no further revisions by the author are possible. European Psychiatry does not routinely accept Case reports. However, we would be willing to consider submissions of exceptional scientific or educational contribution. These should not exceed 1000 words, with no more than 10 references; no abstract is required. Letters to the Editor are processed rapidly. Therefore these should not exceed 500 words, and should include figures and tables suitable for direct reproduction.
Figures/illustrations Figures should be completely and consistently lettered, the size of the lettering being in scale with the size of the illustration, taking into account possible reduction in size for printing purposes. The figures and illustrations should be numbered in Arabic numerals according to their sequence in the text (i.e., fig1.gif, fig2.gif, etc.). All figures must be cited in the text. For the electronic supply of figures, the format TIFF, EPS or PDF should preferably be used. A high resolution is absolutely essential for printing good quality illustrations. A minimum resolution of 300 DPI is required for photos, black and white or colour. A resolution of 500 to 1000 DPI will be required for graphs. All illustrations should be provided as separate files. For every figure or photograph, a concise legend should be provided. It is advised to provide high-quality printouts of the artwork, in case conversion of the electronic artwork is problematic. All authors wishing to use illustrations already published must first obtain the permission of the author and publisher and/or copyright holders and give precise reference to the original work. This permission must include the right to publish in electronic media. This must be stated in the legend.
Tables All tables must be titled and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. All tables must be cited in the text. Only a minimum number of horizontal lines should be used. They should be provided as separate files.
Figures and tables should not exceed the equivalent of two journal pages.

Proofs, reprints and copyright Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author indicated on the title page ; no changes to the original manuscript will be allowed at this stage. They should be carefully corrected and returned, preferably via e-mail or fax, to the publisher within 48 hours after reception. If this period is exceeded the galleys will be proofread by the editorial staff of the publishing house only and printed without the author’s corrections. Twenty-five reprints are supplied per contribution. Additional reprints may be ordered at the prices quoted on the order form sent to the corresponding author. A letter of copyright transfer is sent together with the reprints form, before the proofs arrive. It should be returned, duly signed, to the publisher, together with the author’s corrections.
