About the journal
Description
Annals of Behavioral Medicine aims to foster the exchange of knowledge derived from the disciplines involved in the field of behavioral medicine, and the integration of biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and principles as they relate to such areas as health promotion, disease prevention, risk factor modification, disease progression, adjustment and adaptation to physical disorders, and rehabilitation. To achieve these goals, much of the journal is devoted to the publication of original empirical articles including reports of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, or other basic and clinical investigations. Integrative reviews of the evidence for the application of behavioral interventions in health care will also be provided. These reviews apply the standards of evidence-based medicine and help bridge the gap between basic science and clinical practice in behavioral medicine.

Aims and scopes
Annals of Behavioral Medicine aims to foster the exchange of knowledge derived from the disciplines involved in the field of behavioral medicine, and the integration of biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and principles as they relate to such areas as health promotion, disease prevention, risk factor modification, disease progression, adjustment and adaptation to physical disorders, and rehabilitation. To achieve these goals, much of the journal is devoted to the publication of original empirical articles including reports of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, or other basic and clinical investigations. Integrative reviews of the evidence for the application of behavioral interventions in health care will also be provided. These reviews apply the standards of evidence-based medicine and help bridge the gap between basic science and clinical practice in behavioral medicine.
Types of papers
Regular ArticlesThe majority of journal pages are devoted to the publication of original empirical articles, such as reports of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, or other basic and clinical investigations. Quantitative or descriptive and integrative literature reviews will also be considered. Manuscripts should clearly state an objective or hypothesis, the research methods (including statistical methodologies), the essential features of any interventions, the outcome measures, and the results of the investigation. The results should be discussed in the context of other published literature. Rapid Communications (brief reports)The Annals accepts brief reports of soundly designed research studies of specialized interest that can be effectively communicated in less space than standard-length articles. An attempt will be made to expedite Rapid Communications submissions through the review and publication process, providing authors with a swifter publication of their latest results. An author who submits a Rapid Communication must agree not to submit the full report to another journal. To ensure that a Rapid Communication does not exceed the available journal pages (approximately 5 pages), submissions should not exceed 15 manuscript pages, including all tables and figures, double-spaced, and typed in 12-point font with 1 inch margins.Letters to the Editor The Annals publishes Letters to the Editor that offer opinion or interpretation of articles previously published in the Annals. Letters should be limited to 500 words or less and should not have more than seven references. Tables and figures should be used only if absolutely necessary. It is customary for letters to be sent to the author(s) of the original work and the authors?response may be published as a companion to the Letter to the Editor.LanguageEnglish
Manuscript submission
Legal requirementsSubmission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities - tacitly or explicitly - at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.PermissionsAuthors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.How to submitManuscripts should be submitted via Editorial Manager, the online submission and review system through which authors will submit manuscripts and track their progress up until acceptance for publication. Authors will enter pertinent information into the system and submit the following files: (a) Cover letter file, containing any comments to the editor as well as a statement indicating that the findings reported have not been previously published and that the manuscript is not being simultaneously submitted elsewhere. (b) Manuscript file, containing the entire text of the article, including abstract, all text, references, footnotes, and appendixes. Figures and tables may either be included at the end of this file or submitted separately. (c) Figures and tables, which may be submitted as separate files if desired. Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please connect directly to the site: http://www.editorialmanager.com/abm and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen. Editorial procedureSubmitted manuscripts are reviewed by at least two impartial expert reviewers as well as an action editor to determine their originality, scientific merit, and significance to the field. Reviewers will remain anonymous, but their comments will be available to authors. Editorial officeQuestions concerning manuscript submission should be directed to Angela Gorden, Managing Editor at annals@uiowa.edu or to Alan J. Christensen, Ph.D., Editor-in-Chief, at alan-christensen@uiowa.edu.

Upon acceptance of their manuscripts, authors must complete Disclosure of Interest form (found above), which they will then be required to submit to the editorial office.
Special Instructions for Reporting Intervention and Observational Studies
Annals of Behavioral Medicine publishes results of randomized and nonrandomized intervention studies as well as observational designs. Authors are requested to follow reporting standards that apply to their study design to ensure that basic information about the conduct of studies is available. For randomized trials, authors are requested to follow the extended CONSORT recommendations for non-pharmacologic trials (Consolidated Standards for Reporting of Trials; Boutron et al., 2008 and http://www.consort-statement.org/index.aspx?o=1068), for non-randomized designs follow TREND guidelines (Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Nonrandomized Designs; Des Jarlais, Lyles, & Crepaz, 2004 and http://www.trend-statement.org/asp/trend.asp), and for observational designs follow STROBE recommendations (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology; van Elm et al 2007 and www.strobe-statement.org). In addition, authors of reports of randomized clinical trials should submit a completed CONSORT reporting checklist found at http://www.consort-statement.org/mod_product/uploads/CONSORT%202001%20checklist.doc when submitting a paper to Annals. For more detailed information about CONSORT and its implications for behavioral trials, please see Davidson et al., Volume 26(3), pp. 161-171 of the Annals at www.sbm.org/ebbm/ABM2603pp161-171.pdf. Finally, reporting external validity elements in research studies will support evaluation of the generalizability of results for future practice implications; authors are referred to recommendations by Green & Glasgow, 2006 (pp 137).References:Boutron I, Moher D, Altman DG, Schulz KF, Ravaud P; CONSORT Group.
