About the journal
|
"A superb collection of clinical, research, and public health articles; each exciting issue has something to offer everyone."
-Robert M. Wettstein, MD
"Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior [or SLTB] is where suicide researchers look for up-to-date and integrative science, and where clinicians look to refine and inform risk assessment and therapeutics. It is the single most useful resource available on accessible, sophisticated, recent, and clinically useful science on suicidal behavior."
-Thomas Joiner, PhD, Department of Psychology, Florida State University
"This comprehensive journal masterfully investigates the complexity of suicidality and its treatment. It integrates scholarly research and clinical wisdom, and allows us to understand the underlying dynamics of suicidality from both an individual and systemic perspective. It is a 'must-read' for all of us who treat suicidal clients and seek to understand the mystery of suicide."
-David C. Treadway, PhD
For more than 30 years, this eminent journal has enabled professionals to become more well versed in the theoretical and clinical approaches to suicide and life-threatening behaviors. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this journal employs biological, statistical, psychological, as well as sociological approaches to explore the full scope of issues in suicidology. The newest developments in understanding the range of suicidal behaviors across the lifespan are highlighted, as are international and cross-cultural studies.

General Guidelines For Authors:
Brief summary. Manuscripts should be submitted in quadruplicate with a 100-word abstract. The entire manuscript, including references, quotations, text, and tables, should be double-spaced, typed on one side on 8- x 11 regular bond paper. American Psychological Association standard style should be used. Manuscript length, except under unusual circumstances, should not be over 20 double-spaced pages, and, ordinarily, should be shorter. Original contributions. Authors should only submit manuscripts that have not been published elsewhere, and are not under review by another publication.
Cover letter. With your submission include a cover letter designating one author as correspondent for the review process, and provide a complete address, including phone and fax. In this letter please attest that neither the manuscript nor any other substantially similar paper has been published, except as described in the letter. The corresponding author should also attest that in the case of several authors, each one has studied the manuscript in the form submitted, agreed to be cited as a coauthor, and has accepted the order of authorship. Also indicate agreement by the authors that if the paper is accepted its copyright shall become the property of the publisher. This permission section should contain the following text:
In consideration of the efforts of Guilford Publications, Inc. to work with the enclosed manuscript, the author[s] hereby conveys, transfers and otherwise assigns all copyright ownership to the Publisher in the event that this work is published by Guilford Publications, Inc. The author[s] declare that the manuscript contains nothing that is, to the best of the author[s] knowledge, unlawful, infringes on the rights of any other person, or on any copyright.
If author affiliations are given with regard to academic, hospital, or institutional affiliations, it is the author[s] responsibility to obtain any required permissions from the proper authorities to utilize such affiliations.
Manuscripts that do not contain original illustrations will not be returned to the author. To ensure return, indicate this preference in your cover letter, and include the appropriate postage paid envelope. Manuscripts rejected but not returned to the author will be destroyed after thirty (30) days.
Editing. Manuscripts will be copyedited, and page proofs will be sent to the authors for review. Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work. Manuscripts should not only be well written in the sense of organization and clarity, but should be explained in a manner that is interesting and engaging to readers with a wide range of backgrounds. All manuscripts should begin with an abstract of the paper.
Reprints. Reprint order forms will be sent along with the page proofs for your paper.
Manuscript preparation. Your paper should be double spaced and submitted as an original with three copies. To ensure its consideration, include a microcomputer version of your work, in either Mac or IBM compatible formats, utilizing Word or WordPerfect. On the title page list the full names, affiliations, and professional degrees of all the authors. Abbreviations should not be used in the title or abstract, and should be very limited in the text.
Abstracts. The abstract should be displayed on a separate page and consist of not more than 100 words. It should present the reason for the study, the main findings, and the principal conclusions.
References. Reference lists should be prepared according to the style illustrated in the articles in this issue of the journal. This approach minimizes punctuation in the specific references, but utilizes the author and date in the text of the articles, to provide maximum information quickly to the reader.
Illustrations. Graphics should be executed in Microsoft Excel in either Mac or IBM formats for making graphs, and should be directly integrated into the disk containing the text. If this is not possible, please submit camera ready copy. In all cases indicate the correct positioning of the item in the text. Illustrations should be cited in order in the text using Arabic numerals. A legend should accompany each illustration, and not exceed 40 words. Please include reproductions of all illustrations in each copy of the manuscript. As the author you are ultimately responsible for any required permissions regarding material quoted in your text, tables, or illustrations of any kind.
Tables. Tables should be cited in order in the text using Arabic numerals. Each table should be displayed on a separate page, and each must have a title.
Reviews and decisions. Manuscripts are generally sent to outside reviewers, and you will be informed of the editorial decision as soon as possible. Ordinarily a decision will be reached in about 3 months after submission is acknowledged. A request for revising the manuscript along the lines suggested by the Editor and reviewers does not constitute a decision to publish. All revised manuscripts will be re-evaluated, and the Editors reserve the right to reject a paper at any point during the revision process.
