About the journal

Health Psychology Review (HPR) is a landmark publication – the first review journal in the important and growing discipline of health psychology. This new international forum, edited by a highly respected team, provides a leading environment for review, theory, and conceptual development. HPR contributes to the advancement of the discipline of health psychology and strengthens its relationship to the field of psychology as a whole, as well as to other related academic and professional arenas. It is essential reading for those engaged in the study, teaching, and practice of health psychology, behavioral medicine, and associated areas.
HPR is dedicated to theoretical and conceptual work, as well as to evaluative, integrative, meta-analytic and systematic reviews and interpretations of substantive issues in the general domain of health psychology. The journal particularly favors theory-based reviews of empirical contributions that afford integrative theoretical formulations of work in a given area of health psychology and reviews of developments that develop connections between areas of research within the general domain of health psychology as well as with other disciplines (ranging from biology to policy-oriented research domains). Papers that consider the cross-cultural and cross-national relevance and appropriateness of theories and key concepts are also welcomed. Articles focusing on methodological issues and problems of design and measurement will be considered if they make a direct and substantial contribution to theory. Brief commentaries addressing progress in specific sub-fields of health psychology, comments that apply to existing theoretical models and approaches, and discussions about previously published articles, can also be considered.
Peer Review Integrity
All research articles in this journal, including those in special issues, special sections or supplements, have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two independent referees.
Abstracting & indexing
Health Psychology Review is currently indexed in E-Lib Bremen, National Center for PTSD (PILOTS Database), NAVER, PsycINFO, PsycTESTS, Scopus and the Social Sciences Citation Index

Instructions to Authors
Manuscript preparation
1. General guidelines
- Manuscripts are accepted in English. British English spelling and punctuation are preferred. Please use single quotation marks, except where ‘a quotation is “within” a quotation’. Long quotations of 40 words or more should be indented without quotation marks.
- The editorial team acknowledge that review articles are usually longer than empirical articles. However, it is also recognised that articles should be concise and pithy so that the main focus of the article is not lost and the argument is not encumbered by unnecessary detail. Articles to Health Psychology Review should therefore be no longer than 30 double-spaced manuscript pages in length with 2.4cm margins (minimum) including abstract, main text, references, footnotes, figures and tables. Authors can include additional figures and tables not directly germane to the main argument of the manuscript as online supplemental materials. For meta-analyses and systematic reviews, references for studies included in the review should be only appear in a separate supplemental list that the journal will make available as an online supplement. These materials will not count toward the page length of the manuscript, but will be included as a permanent record of supplemental materials alongside the online version of the manuscript (see later). Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text; acknowledgements; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figure caption(s) (as a list).
- Abstracts of 200 words are required for all manuscripts submitted.
- Each manuscript should have 3 to 6 keywords .
- Search engine optimization (SEO) is a means of making your article more visible to anyone who might be looking for it. Please consult our guidance here .
- Section headings should be concise.
- All authors of a manuscript should include their full names, affiliations, postal addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses on the cover page of the manuscript. One author should be identified as the corresponding author. Please give the affiliation where the research was conducted. If any of the named co-authors moves affiliation during the peer review process, the new affiliation can be given as a footnote. Please note that no changes to affiliation can be made after the manuscript is accepted. Please note that the email address of the corresponding author will normally be displayed in the article PDF (depending on the journal style) and the online article.
- All persons who have a reasonable claim to authorship must be named in the manuscript as co-authors; the corresponding author must be authorized by all co-authors to act as an agent on their behalf in all matters pertaining to publication of the manuscript, and the order of names should be agreed by all authors.
- Biographical notes on contributors are not required for this journal.
- Please supply all details required by any funding and grant-awarding bodies as an Acknowledgement on the title page of the manuscript, in a separate paragraph, as follows:
- For single agency grants: "This work was supported by the [Funding Agency] under Grant [number xxxx]."
- For multiple agency grants: "This work was supported by the [Funding Agency 1] under Grant [number xxxx]; [Funding Agency 2] under Grant [number xxxx]; and [Funding Agency 3] under Grant [number xxxx]."
- Authors must also incorporate a Disclosure Statement which will acknowledge any financial interest or benefit they have arising from the direct applications of their research.
- For all manuscripts non-discriminatory language is mandatory. Sexist or racist terms must not be used.
- Authors must adhere to SI units . Units are not italicised.

2. Style guidelines
Meta-analyses and systematic reviews
In order to comply with international standards and for academic transparency, authors of meta-analyses and systematic reviews submitted to Health Psychology Review are required to include a statement in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement ( http://www.prisma-statement.org/ ) as a supplemental file for review (the final document will be included as online supplemental material). In addition, authors of meta-analyses should include the information recommended by the APA's Meta-Analysis Reporting Methods (MARS) which can be found here ( http://www.apastyle.org/manual/related/JARS-MARS.pdf
Competing interests
A competing interest exists when your interpretation or presentation of information may be influenced by your personal or financial relationship with other people or organizations. Authors should disclose all financial and non-financial competing interests.
Authors are required to complete a declaration of competing interests and submit it together with the manuscript. All competing interests that are declared will be listed at the end of published articles. Where an author gives no competing interests, the listing will read 'The author(s) declare that they have no competing interests'. Please consider the following questions:
- In the past five years have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that may in any way gain or lose financially from the publication of this manuscript, either now or in the future? Is such an organization financing this manuscript? If so, please specify.
- Do you hold any stocks or shares in an organization that may in any way gain or lose financially from the publication of this manuscript, either now or in the future? If so, please specify.
- Do you hold or are you currently applying for any patents relating to the content of the manuscript? Have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that holds or has applied for patents relating to the content of the manuscript? If so, please specify.
- Do you have any other financial competing interests? If so, please specify.
If you are unsure as to whether you, or one of your co-authors, has a competing interest please discuss it with the editorial office.
Authors' contributions All authors are expected to have made substantive intellectual contributions to, and to have been involved in drafting or revising the manuscript. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group, alone, does not justify authorship. With the submission of a manuscript, it is assumed that all authors have read and approved the final manuscript.
Acknowledgements All contributors who do not meet the above criteria for authorship, should be listed in an acknowledgements section in accordance with the APA guidelines. The acknowledgements should be contained on the title page of the manuscript as making acknowledgements available to reviewers will compromise the masked peer-review process. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include those who provided general, technical, or writing assistance. Acknowledgement of funding/grants are also included in this section.
3. Figures
- Please provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please be sure that all imported scanned material is scanned at the appropriate resolution: 1200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale and 300 dpi for colour.
- Figures must be saved separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the manuscript file.
- Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).
- All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the manuscript (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. Figure 1(a), Figure 1(b)).
- Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the manuscript, and numbered correspondingly.
- The filename for a graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
