About the journal
The Journal of Behavioral Medicine is a broadly conceived interdisciplinary publication devoted to furthering our understanding of physical health and illness through the knowledge and techniques of behavioral science. Application of this knowledge to prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation is also a major function of the journal, which includes papers from all disciplines engaged in behavioral medicine research: psychology, psychiatry, sociology, epidemiology, anthropology, health economics, and biostatistics. Examples of typical research areas include: the study of appetitive disorders (alcoholism, smoking, obesity) that serve as physical risk factors; adherence to medical regimen and health maintenance behavior; pain, self-regulation therapies and biofeedback for somatic disorders; sociocultural influences on health and illness; and brain-behavioral relationships that influence physiological function.

Copyright
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 Springer will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The necessary form for such transfer can be found on the Journal's homepage. 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
Although the journal does not impose a strict page limit, it is strongly suggested that manuscripts be no more than 25-30 double-spaced pages, including all figures, captions, tables, notes, and references.
All pages should be typed double spaced and numbered (including pages containing the title, author name and affiliation footnotes, abstract, acknowledgments, references, tables, and figure caption list).
An abstract is to be provided, preferably no longer than 150 words. A list of 5-6 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 purpose, both internal and external.
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. Photographs should be large glossy prints, showing high contrast. Drawings should be prepared with india ink. Either the original drawings or good-quality photographic prints ar acceptable. Identify figures on the back with author's name and number of the illustration. Electronic artwork submitted on disk should be in TIFF or EPS format (1200 dpi for line and 300 dpi for half-tones and gray-scale art). Color art should be in the CYMK color space. Artwork should be on a separate disk from the text, and hard copy must accompany the disk.
Tables should be numbered (with Roman numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate page.
List references alphabetically at the end of the paper and refer to them in the text by name and year in parentheses. Where there are three or more authors, only the first author's name is given in the text, followed by et al. References should include titles of papers.
The Journal of Behavioral Medicine requests that, whenever possible, statistical tests include a reporting of effects sizes. Authors are encouraged to report the relevant statistical information for both significant and non-significant effects, and to follow the statistical reporting recommendations presented in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition (2001). Additional information can be found in ¡°How to Report Statistics in Medicine¡± (Lang and Secic, 1997).
For the reporting of intervention studies with randomized and nonrandomized designs, authors are requested to follow CONSORT (Consolidated Standards for Reporting of Trials; Moher, Jones, & Lepage, 2001) or TREND (Transparent Reporting of Evaluations with Nonrandomized Designs; Des Jarlais, Lyles, & Crepaz, 2004) guidelines to ensure that basic information about the conduct of studies is available. This information can be obtained online at
http://www.consort-statement.org and http://www.trend-statement.org/asp/trend.asp.
To enhance readability for a wide audience, the use of abbreviations and acronyms should be avoided throughout the manuscript. Exceptions include common statistical terminology (e.g., ANOVA) and widely recognized acronyms (e.g., US, NATO).
Authors are responsible for all information in their work. If any tables, figures, or quotations from another source are adapted or used in entirety, permission must be granted from the copyright owner(s). Where applicable, authors are required to provide documentation of all permissions received.
General
In general, Journal of Behavioral Medicine follows the recommendations of the CBE (Council of Biology Editors) Style Manual, published by the American Institute of Biological Sciences, and it is suggested that contributors refer to this publication.
Page Charges
The Journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms are sent with proofs
Springer Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the Journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer now provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer's online platform SpringerLink. To publish via Springer Open Choice, upon acceptance please visit http://www.springeronline.com/openchoice to complete the relevant order form and provide the required payment information. Payment must be received in full before publication or articles will publish as regular subscription-model articles. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
