About the journal
The Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology reports and reviews outstanding research on psychological, behavioural, medical and social aspects of human reproduction, pregnancy and infancy.
Medical topics focus on obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics and psychiatry; the growing work in relevant aspects of medical communication and medical sociology are also covered.
Relevant psychological work includes developmental psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, behavioural medicine, psychology of women and health psychology. Research into psychological aspects of midwifery, health visiting and nursing is central to the interests of the Journal.
The Journal is of special value to those concerned with interdisciplinary issues. As a result, the Journal is of particular interest to those concerned with fundamental processes in behaviour and to issues of health promotion and service organization.

Electronic Submission. Authors should send the final, revised version of their articles in both hard copy paper and electronic disk forms. It is essential that the hard copy (paper) version exactly matches the material on disk. Please print out the hard copy from the disk you are sending. Submit three printed copies of the final version with the disk to the journal's editorial office. Save all files on a standard 3.5 inch high-density disk. We prefer to receive disks in Microsoft Word in a PC format, but can translate from most other common word processing programs as well as Macs. Please specify which program you have used. Do not save your files as "text only" or "read only".
Contributions should be as concise as possible and should not normally exceed 5000 words or the equivalent lineage including tables and figures. The title should be brief but precise. Each paper should be accompanied by an abstract of not more than 200 words.
Papers should be typed on A4 or equivalent paper, on one side, double spaced with margins of not less than 3.5 cm. Sheets should be numbered consecutively at the head. The top copy and two good copies should be submitted.
Papers are refereed anonymously. The author's name and address should therefore appear under the title on a separate page. The title and abstract should appear on the first page of text. Authors who wish to ascertain in advance the criteria on which submissions are judged may obtain a copy of the blank referee's form from the editors.
Tables should be typed double spaced on separate sheets, or spaced sufficiently to be distinct in the case of small tables. They should be numbered in sequence in arabic numerals and referred to in the text as 'Table 1' etc. Large tables of more than six lines should be titled in order to make the contents comprehensible independently of the text.
Diagrams, graphs, drawings and half-tone illustrations should be on a separate sheet labeled 'Fig. 1' and so forth. Each sheet should carry at the top the title of the article. Where possible they should be submitted as artwork ready for photographic reproduction, larger than the intended size. Where more than one figure is submitted, they should as far as possible be to the same scale. When submitting articles on disk (see below) figures should be supplied as separate TIFF or EPS files if possible.
References in the text should cite the author's name followed by the date of publication unless there are more than two authors where only the first author's name should be given followed by 'et al.'. References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order by first author, but including all authors, in the following format with titles of articles, books and journals given in full.
Berryman, J.C. and Windridge, K.C. (1993) Pregnancy after 35: a preliminary report on maternal-fetal attachment. Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology, 11: 169-174.

SI units should be used for all measurements. Imperial measurements may be quoted in brackets. Where studies involve small numbers of subjects, both numbers and percentages of groups should be given.
Authors are advised to avoid sexist sentiments and language, except insofar as these form part of a study.
After notification of acceptance of a paper, authors should, if possible, send a copy of the final version in PC format as a word-processed document on a 3.5" or 5.25" floppy disk (Apple Macintosh formats can be accepted, but not Amstrad's Locoscript on CF2 disks) to the accepting editor.
Manuscripts and correspondence concerning publication of articles will only be kept for 3 years by the Editors.
Page proofs will be sent to the author submitting each article. Correction of typographical errors only will be permitted at this stage. Textual alterations may be charged to authors in exceptional circumstances.
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.
For further guidance on general aspects of manuscript preparation authors should consult APA or BPS Manuals for Contributors.
Copyright. It is a condition of the publication that authors vest or license copyright in their articles, including abstracts, in Society for Reproductive and Infant Psychology. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and the journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors may, of course, use the article elsewhere after publication without prior permission from the publisher, Society for Reproductive and Infant Psychology, provided that acknowledgement is given to the Journal as the original source of publication, and that Taylor & Francis is notified so that our records show that its use is properly authorised.
