The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (ISSN 0160-6689) has served the information needs of psychiatrists worldwide for over 60 years and is the leading psychiatric resource for clinical information. The Journal is an international peer-reviewed journal, and its articles are indexed by the National Library of Medicine as well as all major indexing and abstracting organizations in the world, thus expanding its reach well beyond its circulation of 35,500.
Instructions to Authors
Submit the original manuscript and 2 copies to Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc., P.O. Box 752870, Memphis, TN 38175-2870 or 3175 Lenox Park Blvd., Suite 409, Memphis, TN 38115 (phone: 901-751-3800). Manuscript preparation must meet Journal requirements, which are in accordance with "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (available at www.icmje.org) and are summarized below.
Cover Letter. Manuscripts must be accompanied by a cover letter designating a corresponding author who is responsible for communicating with the other authors about revisions and final approval of the proofs. Include the complete address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding author. Manuscripts are reviewed with the understanding that they represent original material, have never been published before, are not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and have been approved by each author. Prior publication constitutes any form of publication other than an abstract and includes invited articles, proceedings, symposia, and book chapters. Authors should fully inform the Editor in the cover letter if the submitted manuscript contains data or clinical observations that have been published or submitted for publication elsewhere, supply copies of such material, and explain the differences between the works.
Required Signed Statements. Along with the cover letter, include statements signed by all coauthors on (1) authorship and manuscript approval, (2) copyright transfer or federal employment, and (3) financial or other relationships that might pose a conflict of interest. The corresponding author must sign (4) the Acknowledgment statement. These 4 statements are provided for use by authors in the form included here..
Criteria for Authorship. Authorship should be assigned only to persons who contributed to the intellectual content of the paper and can take public responsibility for that content.
Copyright Policy. The Journal requires the express transfer of copyright to Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc., to protect the author(s) and Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc., from misuse of copyrighted materials. All accepted manuscripts become the property of Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc., and may not be published elsewhere without written permission from both the author and Physicians Postgraduate Press, Inc.
Disclosure of Commercial Interests. The author must acknowledge all forms of support, including drug company support, in the Title Page Acknowledgments (see below). In addition, authors must disclose all affiliations and financial interests that are directly related to the subject or materials discussed in the manuscript (e.g., employment, consultancies, patent ownership, stock ownership). Should the manuscript be accepted, the disclosure information will be published.
Peer Review. Manuscripts submitted for publication in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry that meet its scope and submission criteria are sent to expert consultants for peer review. The reviewers' identities are not revealed. Strict confidentiality regarding the submitted manuscript is maintained.
Editing. Papers accepted for publication after peer review will be copyedited for clarity, conciseness, and conformity with Journal style and returned to the corresponding author for approval. The authors are responsible for all statements in their work, including changes authorized by the corresponding author.
All submissions to The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry should berelevant and interesting to practicing clinical psychiatrists. We strive to publish academically sophisticated, methodologically sound manuscripts geared more toward the practitioner than the researcher. Manuscripts should be concisely written, appropriately referenced, and coherently focused. Conclusions should flow logically from the data presented, and methodological flaws and limitations should be acknowledged.
Manuscripts eligible to be published as articles include controlled studies, clinical observations of wide importance, critical overviews, pilot studies, open trials, chart reviews, and case series with literature reviews. Experimental drug trials involving a compound not currently available in the United States may be considered if (1) the compound is expected to be released soon in the United States or (2) it offers some unique and interesting clinical features. Manuscripts should deal with the epidemiology, classification, and treatment of psychiatric disorders and should not exclusively emphasize laboratory techniques, biostatistical models, validity studies, or the development of measurement instruments.
Single case reports are typically Letters to the Editor, and only exceptional cases (e.g., those involving multiple crossover trials or sophisticated laboratory techniques) will be considered for publication as full articles. Case reports should describe novel, well-documented findings that will be of help and interest to the practitioner.
Letters to the Editor should not exceed 500 words and rarely include a table or figure. Letters that pertain to recent articles in the Journal will be sent to the author(s) for response. Letters will be edited for clarity and conformity to Journal style.
Type the manuscript on one side of white, nonerasable bond paper (81/2 x 11 in), with margins of at least 1 in. Double-space throughout, including title page, abstract, text, references, tables, and legends for figures. Number pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner, beginning with the title page. Each section should begin on a separate page, and the sections should be arranged in the following order: (1) title page and acknowledgments, (2) abstract and key words, (3) text, (4) references, (5) tables, (6) figure titles and footnotes, and (7) figures.
Permissions. The manuscript must be accompanied by letters of permission to reproduce published material and to cite papers still in press, unpublished data, and personal communications. In addition, the author must obtain written permission from all persons named in an Acknowledgment.
Manuscripts on disk. At the time of final revision, authors are encouraged to submit a computer disk containing the manuscript file and a separate file for each figure. The author should include the file name and software and hardware information on the disk label.
Title. The title of the article should be concise but informative.
Byline. For each author, provide first name, middle initial, and last name along with highest academic degree(s) and departmental and institutional affiliation, including city/state/country location. The full address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address of the corresponding author should appear on the title page.
Acknowledgments. At the bottom of the title page, list (1) contributions that need acknowledging but do not justify authorship, such as general support by a departmental chairperson, critical review of study proposal, or data collection; (2) acknowledgments of technical help; (3) acknowledgments of financial and material support, specifying the nature of the support; and (4) indications of previous presentation. Authors must secure written permission to be cited from acknowledged persons.
Provide a structured abstract of no more than 250 words on the second page using headings and information as follows for reports of original data: Background--the question addressed in the study; Method--how the study was performed (selection of study subjects, observational and analytic methods, criteria for diagnosis); Results--the key findings (give specific data and their statistical significance, if possible); and Conclusion--what the authors conclude from the results. For reviews and meta-analyses, include a section on Data Sources and Study Selection; for consensus statements, include sections on Participants and Consensus Process. For other article types, provide an unstructured abstract of no more than 250 words. Abstracts are not required for editorials, commentaries, and features. All information reported in the abstract must appear in the text of the manuscript.
Below the abstract, provide up to 5 key words or short phrases that will assist in indexing your article.
The text of observational and experimental articles is usually--but not necessarily--divided into sections with the headings Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion. Lengthy articles may need subheadings within some sections to clarify their content.
Use nonproprietary names of drugs, unless a specific trade name is relevant to the discussion.
Use only standard abbreviations. Avoid abbreviations in the title and abstract. The full term for which an abbreviation stands should precede its first use in the text unless it is a standard unit of measurement.
Introduction. State the purpose of the article. Summarize the rationale for the study or observation. Give only strictly pertinent references, and do not review the subject extensively. Do not include data or conclusions from the work being reported.
Method. Describe your selection of the observational or experimental subjects (including controls) clearly, including eligibility. Identify the methods, apparatus (manufacturer's name and city/state/country location in parentheses), and procedures in sufficient detail to allow other workers to reproduce the results. Give references to established methods, including statistical methods (see below). Describe new or modified methods, give reasons for using them, and evaluate their limitations. Identify precisely all drugs and chemicals used, including generic name(s), dose(s), and route(s) of administration.
Authors submitting review articles should include a section describing the methods used for locating, selecting, extracting, and synthesizing data.
Diagnosis. State the diagnosis and diagnostic criteria. Justify the use of diagnostic criteria other than DSM-IV.
Informed Consent. Manuscripts that report experimental investigations with human subjects must include a statement that subjects (or parents/guardians) gave their informed consent after the procedure(s) and possible side effects were fully explained.
Patient Confidentiality. Ethical and legal considerations dictate protection of patients' anonymity. Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers in text or illustrative material. Avoid dates and disguise characteristics and personal history that would identify a patient.
Personal Communications. Provide written permission from each individual identified as an information source in a personal communication, give the highest academic degree(s), date of the communication, and identify whether the communication was written or oral.
Permission to Adapt or Reprint. Include written permission from publishers to reproduce or adapt previously published materials.
Statistics. Describe statistical methods with enough detail to enable a knowledgeable reader with access to the original data to verify the reported results. When possible, quantify findings and present them with appropriate indicators of measurement error or uncertainty (such as confidence intervals). Avoid sole reliance on statistical hypothesis testing, such as the use of p values, which fails to convey important quantitative information. Give numbers of observations. Report losses to observation (such as dropouts from a clinical trial). Reference statistical tests that are not well known. Specify any general-use computer programs used.
Results. Present your results in logical sequence. Do not repeat in the text all the data in the tables or figures; emphasize or summarize only important observations.
Discussion. Emphasize the new and important aspects of the study and the conclusions that follow from them. Do not repeat in detail material given in the Introduction or the Results section. Present in the Discussion section the implications of the findings and their limitations, including implications for future research. Relate the observations to other relevant studies. Link the conclusions with the goals of the study but avoid unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by your data.
The reference list should include only references to information that is retrievable. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the references. The references must be verified by the author(s) against the original documents.
Number references consecutively in the order in which they are cited in text. Identify references by superscript Arabic numerals. References cited only in tables or in figure legends should be numbered in accordance with the sequence at the point of identification in the text of the particular table or figure.
"In press" references to articles accepted but not yet published can be cited if the title and journal name or book publisher are given. References to personal communications or to material not yet accepted for publication may not be included in the reference list, but instead should be cited parenthetically in text, and written permission must be obtained from the source.
Double-space throughout the reference list. Abbreviations of journal names must conform to Index Medicus style. Examples of correct forms of references are illustrated below:

Attach a copy of each table and figure, and an original of each photograph, to each copy of the manuscript. Copies of tables and, when possible, figures should be provided on the computer disk submitted after a manuscript has been accepted for publication. Computer-generated figures should be saved as separate .eps or .tif files (minimum 300 dpi).
Tables and figures should not duplicate text or one another and must be self-explanatory. Tables should be numbered consecutively in the order of their first citation in the text, as should Figures. Acknowledge the original source of a previously published or adapted table or figure and submit written permission from the copyright holder to reproduce the material.
Ordinary footnotes are designated by lowercase superscript letters. Footnote citations may be given in both the title and the body and should proceed from left to right. Simple p values given in footnotes are indicated by single asterisk, double asterisk, etc.
Tables. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page. Identify each table by a brief descriptive title. Give each column a short heading. When percentages are presented, the appropriate numbers must also be given. Do not use internal horizontal and vertical rules. Place explanatory matter in footnotes, not in the heading. Abbreviations should be explained and units of measurement specified.
Figures. Two-dimensional graphs should not be represented in 3 dimensions. Figures are usually reduced to a width of 19.5 picas (3.25 in, 8.2 cm). Definitions of symbols appearing in the figure should be presented in a key within the figure, rather than in the title or footnotes. The key should appear within or above the figure but should not widen the figure.
Type titles and footnotes for figures double-spaced on a separate page. Each figure should have a label pasted on its back indicating the number of the figure, author name, and the top of the figure.
Forms for ordering reprints are sent to the corresponding author at the time notification of publication is sent. No reprints are available for letters or book reviews.
