About the journal
Journal of Traumatic Stress , the official publication for the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, is an interdisciplinary forum for the publication of peer-reviewed original papers on biopsychosocial aspects of trauma. Papers focus on theoretical formulations, research, treatment, prevention education/training, and legal and policy concerns. Journal of Traumatic Stress serves as a primary reference for professionals who study and treat people exposed to highly stressful and traumatic events (directly or through their occupational roles), such as war, disaster, accident, violence or abuse (criminal or familial), hostage-taking, or life-threatening illness. The journal publishes original articles, brief reports, review papers, commentaries, and, from time to time, special issues devoted to a single topic.
To order single issues of the journal, call 888-378-2537; fax: 888-481-2665; E-mail: jbsubs@jbp.com. For Pay Per View and ArticleSelect information, go to http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/aboutus/ppv-articleselect.html.

Instructions to Authors
1. The Journal of Traumatic Stress accepts submission of manuscripts online at:
http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jots
Information about how to create an account or submit a manuscript may be found online in the "Get Help Now" menu. Personal assistance also is available by calling 434-817-2040, x167.
Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft WORD 2007 documents at this time. Please use WORD’s “Save As?option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type.
2. Three paper formats are accepted. All word counts should include references, tables, and figures. Regular articles (no longer than 6,000 words) are theoretical articles, full research studies, and reviews. Purely descriptive articles are rarely accepted. In special circumstances, the editors will consider longer manuscripts (up to 7,500 words)that describe complex studies. Authors are requested to seek special consideration prior to submitting manuscripts longer than 6,000 words. Brief reports (2,500 words) are for pilot studies or uncontrolled trials of an intervention, case sudies that cover a new area, preliminary data on a new problem or population, condensed findings from a study that does not merit a full article, or methodologically oriented papers that replicate findings in new populations or report preliminary data on new instruments. Commentaries (1,000 words or less) cover responses to previously published articles or, occasionally, essays on a professional or scientific topic of general interest. Response commentaries, submitted no later than 8 weeks after the original article is published (12 weeks if outside the U.S.), must be content-directed and use tactful language. The original author is given the opportunity to respond to accepted commentaries.
3. The Journal follows the style recommendations of the 2001 Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA; Fifth Edition), with exceptions indicated below. Contributors should refer to this publication when preparing a manuscript for submission. Manuscripts should use nonsexist language. Type double-spaced on one side of 8.5 X 11 inch or A4 white paper using 1-inch margins on all sides and a font no smaller than 12-point.
4. The Journal uses a policy of unmasked review . Author identities are known to reviewers; reviewer identities are not known to authors or other reviewers. During the submission process, authors may request that specific individuals not be selected as reviewers; the names of preferred reviewers also may be provided. Authors may request blind review by contacting jots@dartmouth.edu prior to submission in order to provide justification and obtain further instructions.
5. The title page should include the title of the article, author’s name (no degrees), author’s affiliation, acknowledgments, and suggested running head. The affiliation should comprise the department, institution (usually university or company), city and state (or nation) and should be typed as a footnote to the author’s name. The suggested running head should be less than 80 characters (including spaces) and should comprise the article title or an abbreviated version thereof. Also include the word count , the complete mailing address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address for the corresponding author during the review process, and, if different, a name and address to appear in the article footnotes for correspondence after publication.
The work submitted conforms to all applicable governmental regulations and discipline- appropriate professional ethical standards. If no, explain: ___________________________________________________________
The work was approved by an institutional review committee established to protect the welfare of human or animal subjects. If no, explain: ___________________________________________________________
Participants provided informed consent. If no, explain: ___________________________________________________________
6. An abstract is to be provided, no longer than 120 words.
7. Statement of ethical standards: All work submitted to the Journal of Traumatic Stress must conform to applicable governmental regulations and discipline-appropriate ethical standards. Responsibility for meeting these requirements rests with all authors. Human and animal research studies typically require approval by an institutional research committee that has been established to protect the welfare of human or animal subjects. Data collection as part of clinical services or for program evaluation purposes generally does not require approval by an institutional research committee. However, analysis and presentation of such data outside the program setting may qualify as research (i.e., an effort to produce generalizable knowledge) and require approval by an institutional committee. Those who submit manuscripts to the Journal of Traumatic Stress based on data from these sources are encouraged to consult with a representative of the applicable institutional committee to determine if approval is needed. Presentations that report on a particular person (e.g., a clinical case) also usually require written permission from that person to allow public disclosure for educational purposes, and involve alteration or withholding of information that might directly or indirectly reveal identity and breach confidentiality.
8. Reports of randomized clinical trials should include a flow diagram and a completed CONSORT checklist (available at http://consort-statement.org/Downloads/download.htm). The checklist should be designated as a "Supplementary file not for review" during the online submission process. As of 2007, the Journal of Traumatic Stress now follows CONSORT Guidelines for the reporting of randomized clinical trials. Please visit http://consort-statement.org for information about the consort standards and to download necessary forms.
9. Format references in APA style and list them alphabetically at the end of the text. Refer to them in the text by name and year in parentheses. In the text, all authors?names must be given for the first citation (unless six or more authors), while the first author’s name, followed by et al., should be used in subsequent citations.

10. Tables and figures should be formatted in APA style. Count each full-page table or figure as 200 words and each half-page table or figure as 100 words. Tables should be numbered (with Arabic numerals) and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate page. Only black and white tables and figures will be accepted (no color). Figures should be in Word, TIFF, or EPS format.
11. Footnotes should be avoided. When their use is absolutely necessary, footnotes should be formatted in APA style.
12. 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 the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. 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.
13. Pre-Submission English-Language Editing: Authors for whom English is a second language may choose to have their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/bauthor/english_langauge.asp Japanese authors can also find a list of local English improvement services at http://www.wiley.co.jp/journals/editcontribute.html. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication.
