Manuscript Submission
Manuscripts, in triplicate, should be submitted to the Editor−in−Chief:
Stephen Rachlin, M.D. Psychiatric Quarterly P.O. Box 117H Scarsdale, New York 10583−8617
e−mail: StephenRachlin@aol.com
Publication Policies
Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Kluwer Academic/Human Sciences Press will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
Manuscript Style
Type double−spaced on one side of 8 1/2 x 11 inch white paper using generous margins on all sides, and submit the original and two copies (including copies of all illustrations and tables).
All copies must be dark, sharp, and clear. Computer−generated manuscripts must be letter quality (not dot−matrix).
Title Page
A title page is to be provided and should include
|
|
the title of the article |
|
|
author's name |
|
|
highest earned academic degree only (exception: postdoctorate degrees may be added) |
|
|
and author's affiliation |
The affiliation should comprise the title and department/agency, and only one other (usually college or university identification and rank) and should be typed as a footnote to the author’s name.
For office purposes, the title page should include
|
|
the complete mailing address |
|
|
telephone number |
|
|
fax number |
|
|
and e−mail address |
of the one author designated to review proofs.
Abstract
|
|
An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 100−−150 words. |
Key Words
|
|
A list of 3−−5 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes. |
Acknowledgements
|
|
Acknowledgments (including those for grant and financial support) should be typed in one paragraph on a separate page directly preceding the references section, and should be kept to a minimum. Grant support must include the full name of the funding agency. Collaborators whose contributions are not so substantial as to warrant coauthorship can be named here. |
References
References should be listed numerically at the end of the paper, and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are cited in the text. Use the appropriate numeral enclosed in parentheses for citation in the text. In the References list, where there are more than three authors, list only the first three authors, followed by et al.
The style and punctuation of the references should conform to the following examples:
|
|

For Legal Proceedings, follow A Uniform System of Citation, published by the Harvard Law Review Association. Manuscripts in press may be included if the journal or publisher is listed. Unpublished material should be noted by the source and year in parentheses, and should be kept to a minimum.
Footnotes
|
|
Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is absolutely necessary, footnotes should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and should be typed at the bottom of the page to which they refer. Place a line above the footnote, so that it is set off from the text. Use the appropriate superscript numeral for citation in the text. |
Illustration Style
Illustrations
|
|
Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals. |
|
|
The captions for illustrations should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. |
|
|
All illustrations must be complete and final, i.e., camera−ready. |
|
|
Photographs should be large, glossy prints, showing high contrast. |
|
|
Drawings should be high−quality laser prints or should be prepared with india ink. |
|
|
Either the original drawings or high−quality photographic prints are acceptable. |
|
|
Artwork for each figure should be provided on a separate sheet of paper. |
|
|
Identify figures on the back with author’s name and number of the illustration. |
|
|
Illustrations are published only if they contain essential information that cannot adequately be presented in text or tables. |
|
|
Most illustrations, especially flow charts, are judged nonessential. |
|
|
Checklists and forms generally are not published. |
|
|
A note that such material is available from the author may be included if the author wishes. |
|
|
Electronic artwork submitted on disk should be in TIFF or EPS format (1200 dpi for line and 300 dpi for halftones and gray−scale art). |
|
|
Color art should be in the CMYK color space. |
|
|
Artwork should be on a separate disk from the text, and hard copy must accompany the disk. |
Tables
|
|
Tables should be numbered (with Arabic numerals) and referred to by number in the text. |
|
|
Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. |
|
|
Include tables only if they represent relevant numerical data more clearly than could be done in text; short tables frequently can be incorporated more concisely into text. |
|
|
Specify all units of measure clearly. Authors will be asked to delete extraneous tables. |
Submission of Accepted Manuscripts
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor’s Office as hard copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information −− software, journal name, and first author’s last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editor’s Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard−copy manuscript.
Page Charges
The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs.
