Journal of Mental Health is an international journal adhering to the highest standards of anonymous, double-blind peer-review. The journal welcomes original contributions with relevance to mental health research from all parts of the world. Papers are accepted on the understanding that their contents have not previously been published or submitted elsewhere for publication in print or electronic form. See the Evaluation Criteria of Qualitative Research Papers and the editorial policy document for more details.
Submissions. All submissions, including book reviews, should be made online at Journal of Mental Health's Manuscript Central site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre. Please note that submissions missing reviewer suggestions are likely to be un-submitted and authors asked to add this information before resubmitting. Authors will be asked to add this information in section 4 of the on-line submission process.
The total word count for review articles should be no more than 6000 words. Original articles should be no more than a total of 4000 words. We do include the abstract, tables and references in this word count.
Manuscripts will be dealt with by the Executive Editor, Professor Til Wykes, Department of Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, De Crespigny Park, London, SE5 8AF, United Kingdom. It is essential that authors pay attention to the guidelines to avoid unnecessary delays in the evaluation process. The names of authors should not be displayed on figures, tables or footnotes to facilitate blind reviewing.
Book Reviews. All books for reviewing should be sent directly to Martin Guha, Book Reviews Editor, Information Services & Systems, Institute of Psychiatry, KCL, De Crespigny Park, PO Box 18, London, SE5 8AF.
Manuscripts should be typed double-spaced (including references), with margins of at least 2.5cm (1 inch). The cover page (uploaded separately from the main manuscript) should show the full title of the paper, a short title not exceeding 45 characters (to be used as a running title at the head of each page), the full names, the exact word length of the paper and affiliations of authors and the address where the work was carried out. The corresponding author should be identified, giving full postal address, telephone, fax number and email address if available. To expedite blind reviewing, no other pages in the manuscript should identify the authors. All pages should be numbered.
Abstracts. The first page of the main manuscript should also show the title, together with a structured abstract of no more than 200 words, using the following headings: Background, Aims, Method, Results, Conclusions, Declaration of interest. The declaration of interest should acknowledge all financial support and any financial relationship that may pose a conflict of interest. Acknowledgement of individuals should be confined to those who contributed to the article's intellectual or technical content.
Keywords. Authors will be asked to submit key words with their article, one taken from the picklist provided to specify subject of study, and at least one other of their own choice.
Text. Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Key Words, Main text, Appendix, References, Figures, Tables. Footnotes should be avoided where possible. The total word count for review articles should be no more than 6000 words. Original articles should be no more than a total of 4000 words. We do include the abstract, tables and references in this word count. Language should be in the style of the APA (see Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, 2001).
Style and References. Manuscripts should be carefully prepared using the aforementioned Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association , and all references listed must be mentioned in the text. Within the text references should be indicated by the author’s name and year of publication in parentheses, e.g. (Hodgson, 1992) or (Grey & Mathews 2000), or if there are more than two authors (Wykes et al ., 1997). Where several references are quoted consecutively, or within a single year, the order should be alphabetical within the text, e.g. (Craig, 1999; Mawson, 1992; Parry & Watts, 1989; Rachman, 1998). If more than one paper from the same author(s) a year are listed, the date should be followed by (a), (b), etc., e.g. (Marks, 1991a).
The reference list should begin on a separate page, in alphabetical order by author (showing the names of all authors), in the following standard forms, capitalisation and punctuation:
a) For journal articles (titles of journals should not be abbreviated):
Grey, S.J., Price, G. & Mathews, A. (2000). Reduction of anxiety during MR imaging: A controlled trial. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 18 , 351?55.
b) For books:
Powell, T.J. & Enright, S.J. (1990) Anxiety and Stress management . London: Routledge
c) For chapters within multi-authored books:
Hodgson, R.J. & Rollnick, S. (1989) More fun less stress: How to survive in research. In G.Parry & F. Watts (Eds.), A Handbook of Skills and Methods in Mental Health Research (pp. 75?9). London:Lawrence Erlbaum.
Illustrations should not be inserted in the text. All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be referred to as 'Figures' and should be numbered consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals (e.g. Figure 3). The appropriate position of each illustration should be indicated in the text. A list of captions for the figures should be submitted on a separate page, or caption should be entered where prompted on submission, and should make interpretation possible without reference to the text. Captions should include keys to symbols. It would help ensure greater accuracy in the reproduction of figures if the values used to generate them were supplied.
Tables should be typed on separate pages and their approximate position in the text should be indicated. Units should appear in parentheses in the column heading but not in the body of the table. Words and numerals should be repeated on successive lines; 'ditto' or 'do' should not be used.
Accepted papers. If the article is accepted, authors are requested to submit their final and revised version of their manuscript on disk. The disk should contain the paper saved in Microsoft Word, rich text format (RTF), or as a text or ASCII (plain) text file. The disk should be clearly labelled with the names of the author(s), title, filenames and software used. Figures should be included on the disk, in Microsoft Excel. A good quality hard copy is also required.
Proofs are supplied for checking and making essential corrections, not for general revision or alteration. Proofs should be corrected and returned within three days 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 transfer copyright of their articles, including abstracts, to Shadowfax Publishing and Taylor & Francis Ltd. Transfer of copyright enables the publishers to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article and journal to the widest possible readership in print and electronic forms. Authors may, of course, use their article and abstract elsewhere after publication providing that prior permission is obtained from Taylor and Francis Ltd. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.
