About the journal
The Journal of Psychosocial Oncology is an essential source for up-to-date clinical and research material geared toward health professionals who provide psychosocial services to cancer patients, their families and their caregivers. The journal (the first interdisciplinary resource of its kind) is in its third decade of examining exploratory and hypothesis testing and presenting program evaluation research on critical areas, including: the stigma of cancer; employment and personal problems facing cancer patients; patient education; family involvement in patient care; children with cancer; the psychosocial needs of cancer patients; hospital and hospice staff; and volunteers. Every vital aspect of psychosocial care for cancer patients is addressed, from infancy through geriatrics.
The journal's editorial board represents many different fields in psychosocial oncology, including education, epidemiology, health advocacy, medical oncology, neurology, nursing, nutrition, pastoral counseling, physical therapy, psychiatry, psychology, public health, social work, sociology, and surgical oncology.
Regular features of the Journal of Psychosocial Oncology include:
- discussions of current ethical, philosophical, and existential issues
- columns on research issues, strategies, and methodologies
- announcements of current meetings, symposia, and courses being offered
- book reviews that highlight important, new book-length works
- selective bibliographies of articles that appear in other journals

Download the Manuscript Submission & Limited Copyright Transfer Form
[1] ORIGINAL ARTICLES ONLY.
Submission of a manuscript to this journal represents a certification on the part of the author(s) that it is an original work, and that neither this manuscript nor a version of it has been published elsewhere nor is being considered for publication elsewhere.
[2] COPYRIGHT.
Copyright ownership of your manuscript must be transferred officially to The Haworth Press, Inc., before we can begin the peer-review process. All authors must sign the form and return the original to the editor as soon as possible. Failure to return the copyright form in a timely fashion will result in a delay in review and subsequent publication.
[3] MANUSCRIPT LENGTH.
20 typed pages
Lengthier manuscripts may be considered, but only at the discretion of the editor. The abstract should precede the text on a separate piece of paper. The entire manuscript, including abstract, quotations, tables, and references, must be double-spaced.
[4] MANUSCRIPT STYLE.
References should be double-spaced and placed in alphabetical order. The use of footnotes within the text is discouraged. Words should be underlined only when it is intended that they be typeset in italics.
[5] MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION.
Double-spaced, including endnotes and references; 12-point font
Margins: leave at least a one inch margin on all four sides; set all notes as endnotes.
Cover page: Important -- Submit a cover page with the manuscript, indicating only the article title (this is used for anonymous refereeing).
Second "title page": Include a regular title page as a separate document. Include the title again, plus:
- full authorship
- an ABSTRACT of about 100 words (below the abstract provide 3-10 key words for indexing purposes)
- a header or footer on each page with abbreviated title and page number of total (e.g., pg 2 of 7)
- an introductory note with authors' academic degrees, professional titles, affiliations, mailing and e-mail addresses, and any desired acknowledgement of research support or other credit
[6] PREPARATION OF TABLES, FIGURES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS.
Any material that is not textual is considered artwork. This includes tables, figures, diagrams, charts, graphs, illustrations, appendices, screen captures, and photos. Tables and figures (including legend, notes, and sources) should be no larger than 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. Type style should be Helvetica (or Helvetica narrow if necessary) and no smaller than 8 point. We request that computer-generated figures be in black and white and/or shades of gray (preferably no color; for it does not reproduce well). Camera-ready art must contain no grammatical, typographical, or format errors and must reproduce sharply and clearly in the dimensions of the final printed page (4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches). Photos and screen captures must be saved as a TIFF file or other graphic file format such as JPEG or BMP. For final hardcopy submission, these should be on disk or CD-ROM accompanying your manuscript. For rapid publication we must receive black-and-white glossy or matte positives (white background with black images and/or wording) in addition to files on disk. Tables should be created in the text document file using the software's Table feature.
[7] SUBMITTING ART.
Both a printed hard copy and an electronic copy of the art must be provided. We request that each piece of art be sent in its own file or on a disk separate from the disk containing the manuscript text file(s); disks should be clearly labeled. We reserve the right to (if necessary) request new art, alter art, or if all else has failed in achieving art that is presentable, delete art. If submitted art cannot be used, the publisher reserves the right to redo the art and to charge the author a fee of $55.00 per hour for this service. The Haworth Press, Inc. is not responsible for errors incurred in the preparation of new artwork. Camera-ready artwork must be prepared on separate sheets of paper. Always use black ink and professional drawing instruments. On the back of these items, write your article title and the journal title lightly in soft-lead pencil (please do not write on the face of art). In the text file, skip extra lines and indicate where these figures are placed. Photos are considered part of the acceptable manuscript and remain with the publisher for use in additional printings.
[8] TYPESETTING.
You will not be receiving galley proofs of your article. Editorial revisions, if any, must therefore be made while your article is still in manuscript form. The final version of the manuscript will be the version you see published. Typesetter's errors will be corrected by the production staff of The Haworth Press, Inc. Authors are expected to submit manuscripts, disks, and art that are free from error.
[9] DISK MEDIA.
(For Hardcopy Submissions) Haworth's in-house typesetting unit is able to utilize your final manuscript material as prepared on most personal computers and word processors. This will minimize typographical errors and decrease overall production time. Please send the first draft and final draft copies of your manuscript to the journal editor in print format for his/her final review and approval. After approval of your final manuscript, please submit the final approved version both in printed format ("hard copy") and floppy diskette or CD-ROM. On the outside of the diskette package write: 1) the brand name of your computer or word processor 2) the word processing program and version that you used 3) the title of your article, and 4) the file name. NOTE: Disk and hard copy must agree. In case of discrepancies, it is The Haworth Press' policy to follow hard copy. Authors are advised that no revisions of the manuscript can be made after acceptance by the editor for publication. The benefits of this procedure are many with speed and accuracy being the most obvious. We look forward to working with your disk submission which will allow us to serve you more efficiently.
[10] SPELLING, GRAMMAR, AND PUNCTUATION.
You are responsible for preparing manuscript copy which is clearly written in acceptable, scholarly English and which contains no errors of spelling, grammar, or punctuation. Neither the editor nor the publisher is responsible for correcting errors of spelling and grammar. The manuscript, after acceptance by the editor, must be immediately ready for typesetting as it is finally submitted by the
author(s). Check your paper for the following common errors:
- dangling modifiers
- misplaced modifiers
- unclear antecedents
- incorrect or inconsistent abbreviations
Also, check the accuracy of all arithmetic calculations, statistics, numerical data, text citations, and references. INCONSISTENCIES MUST BE AVOIDED. Be sure you are consistent in your use of abbreviations, terminology, and in citing references, from one part of your paper to another.
[11] ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RECEIPT.
Please allow 10-15 weeks for the review process.
Postage inquiries regarding submissions made from outside of the U.S. should be directed to the editor of this journal.
[12] REFERENCE LINKING.
The Haworth Press, Inc. is participating in reference linking for journal articles. (To obtain information on reference linking initiatives, please consult the CrossRef Web site at www.crossref.org.) When citing a journal article include the article's Digital Object Identifier (DOI), when available, as the last item in the reference. A Digital Object Identifier is a persistent, authoritative, and unique identifier that a publisher assigns to each article. Because of its persistence, DOIs will enable The Haworth Press, Inc., and other publishers to link to the article referenced, and the link will not break over time. This will be a great resource in scholarly research.
An example of a reference to a journal article which includes a DOI:
Vizine-Goetz, Diane (2002). Classification Schemes for Internet Resources Revisited. Journal of Internet Cataloging 5(4): 5:18. doi:10.1300/J141v05n04_02
[13] ALTERATIONS REQUIRED BY REFEREES AND REVIEWERS.
Many times a paper is accepted by the editor contingent upon changes that are mandated by anonymous specialist referees and/or members of the editorial board. If the editor returns your manuscript for revisions, you are responsible for retyping any sections of the paper to incorporate these revisions (if applicable, revisions should also be put on disk).
[14] REPRINTS.
The senior author will receive two copies of the journal issue as well as ten complimentary reprints of his or her article. The junior author(s) will receive two copies of the journal issue. These are sent several weeks after the journal issue is published and in circulation. An order form for the purchase of additional reprints will also be sent to all authors at this time. (Approximately 8 weeks is necessary for the preparation of reprints.) Please do not query the journal's editor about reprints. All such questions should be sent directly to The Haworth Press, Inc., Production Department, 37 West Broad Street, West Hazleton, PA 18202. To order additional reprints (minimum: 50 copies), please contact The Haworth Document Delivery Service, 10 Alice Street, Binghamton, NY 13904-1580; Tel: 1-800-429-6784 or Fax: (607) 722-6362.
