Aims and Scope
The aim of Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica is to publish articles in English of high scientific quality representing clinical and experimental work in psychiatry. The scope is to act as an international forum for the dissemination of information advancing the science and practice of psychiatry. Original articles are welcomed, especially those that bring new knowledge or extend the present understanding of mental disorders. Parallel to original articles priority is given to review articles.
Articles requiring rapid publication because of their significance and timeliness may be included as Short communications not exceeding two printed pages. Debate within psychiatry is encouraged in the form of Letters to the editor. All manuscripts published have been assessed by two experienced referees.
- Average assessment time from receipt of manuscript to a publishing decision is 8-10 weeks, while the time from acceptance to publication is, on average, 4-5 months.
- Your manuscript will be handled by a dedicated and professional team.
- The journal enjoys broad, international appeal - 58% of our subscribers are based in Europe, with 22% in North America and 20% elsewhere in the world.

The authors are requested to pay close attention to the following:
Manuscripts
Consult a current issue of the Journal for style and format. The text should be in double-spacing with broad margins.
Review articles/meta-analysis, clinical overview articles, original articles and brief communications all follow the same concept:
-
Page 1 should contain a concise, informative title, the authors' names, the names in English of departments and institutions to be attributed, and their city and country of location. If the title exceeds 40 characters (letters and spaces) a brief running head should be included. Name, telephone number, fax number, e-mail address and full postal address of the corresponding author should be stated.
-
Page 2 should contain:
- Abstract not exceeding 150 words with the following structure: Introduction, Method, Results, and Conclusion.
- Indication of 3 - 5 keywords in strict accordance with Medical Subject Headings.
-
For original articles specifically: Significant Outcomes. Provide up to 3 Significant Outcomes encapsulating the 'take-home messages' of the article, and identify the main issues addressed, with particular emphasis on clinical and/or scientific significance. The Significant Outcomes should be presented succinctly (1 max 2 sentences each), in tabulated form, and logically emerge from the conclusions of the paper (without repeating). However, they must not be dogmatic, raise new issues or pose further questions.
In addition, each original article must cite 3 noteworthy Limitations. These should inform the reader about potential weaknesses, for instance in aspects of study design, methodology, analyses, the wider generalizability, or the wider application of findings.
The Significant Outcomes and the Limitations should be placed immediately below the Abstract/Keywords.
-
For review articles specifically: Summations. Provide up to 3 significant Summations encapsulating the 'take-home messages' of the paper, and identify the main issues addressed, with particular emphasis on their clinical and/or scientific significance. The Summations should be presented succinctly (max 2 sentences each), in tabulated form, and logically emerge from the conclusions of the paper (without repeating). However, they must not be dogmatic, raise new issues or pose further questions, and authors should avoid jumping to conclusions.
In addition, each review article must cite up to 3 noteworthy Considerations in which authors essentially criticise the summations and include any caveats or limitations either of the review process or its conclusions.
The Summations and Considerations should be placed immediately below the Abstract/Keywords.
-
For clinical overview articles specifically: Clinical Recommendations. Provide up to 5 significant Clinical Recommendations. Present them succinctly (max 2 sentences each), in tabulated form, and so as to emerge logically from the conclusions of the article (without repeating). However, they must not be dogmatic, raise new issues or pose further questions, and authors should avoid jumping to conclusions.
In addition, each clinical overview article must provide up to 3 Additional Comments in which authors cite caveats/limitations and attempt to balance their recommendations by including for instance alternative contemporary views/recommendations.
The Clinical Recommendations and Additional Comments should be placed immediately below the Abstract/Keywords.
-
Introduction. One to two pages concluded by Aims of the study (3 to 5 lines without literature references).
-
A thorough Material and methods section. It should be possible to read every article by itself. The author cannot simply refer to design, method and material described in previously published articles.
-
Results.
-
Discussion. Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica articles do not have a conclusion section. If the authors find it necessary, they may include a concluding remark of maximum 5 lines as the final part of the Discussion.
-
Acknowledgements should include grants, sponsorships and other support to the study. Some authors may wish to thank other collaborators apart from the authors. It is stressed that only a very few people should be listed. It is the responsibility of the author to obtain written permission from the persons on the list.
-
A Declaration of Interest must be given if the study in any way involves pharmaceutical companies or other private enterprises. If the study in any way investigates pharmaceutical compounds, the Declaration of Interest must contain information about by whom and which institutions the statistical analyses were performed and an e-mail address where to obtain the protocol.
