About the journal
Neuropsychological Rehabilitation
An International Journal
Neuropsychological Rehabilitation publishes human experimental and clinical research related to rehabilitation, recovery of function, and brain plasticity. The journal is aimed at clinicians who wish to inform their practice in the light of the latest scientific research; at researchers in neurorehabilitation; and finally at researchers in cognitive neuroscience and related fields interested in the mechanisms of recovery and rehabilitation. Papers on neuropsychological assessment will be considered, and special topic reviews (2500-5000 words) addressing specific key questions in rehabilitation, recovery and brain plasticity will also be welcomed. The latter will enter a fast-track refereeing process.

The Research Digest, edited by Jon Evans and Brian Levine, is a regular feature in Neuropsychological Rehabilitation. The digest editors regularly scan a wide range of journals and other publications for material of particular interest to those working in rehabilitation. This section will be an invaluable resource providing both bibliographic references and informal comment and discussion.
Abstracting Information:Neuropsychological Rehabilitation is indexed, abstracted and/or published online by the following: ASSIA (Applied Social Science Index and Abstracts); e-psyche; Excerpta Medica/Embace; MLA International Bibliography; Neuroscience Citation Index (ISI); PsycINFO; Research Alert; Sociological Abstracts; CABS (Current Awareness in Biological Sciences); LLBA (Linguistics and Language; Behaviour Abstracts) |

Authors will normally receive a decision on their papers within three months of receipt, and if accepted they will normally be published six to nine months later. The date of receipt of the manuscript will be printed. Where minor revision of a paper is requested the original date of receipt will appear, provided that a satisfactory revision is received within one month of the request. Otherwise it will bear the revised version date.
Submission of an article is taken as acceptance by the author that the publisher will hold copyright on all material published in the journal, including printed, electronic, and other publication formats, in all languages. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that the article contains nothing that is libellous or infringes copyright.

FORMAT
Typescripts. The style and format of the typescripts should conform to the specifications given in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Typescripts should be double spaced on one side only of A4 paper, with adequate margins, and numbered throughout. The title page of an article should contain only:
(1) the title of the paper, the name(s) and address(es) of the author(s);
(2) a short title not exceeding 40 letters and spaces, which will be used for page headlines;
(3) name and address of the author to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent;
(4) your telephone, fax and e-mail numbers, as this helps speed of processing considerably.
Abstract. An abstract of 50-200 words should follow the title page on a separate sheet.
Headings. Indicate headings and subheadings for different sections of the paper clearly. Do not number headings.
Acknowledgements. These should be as brief as possible and typed on a separate sheet at the beginning of the text.
Permission to quote. Any direct quotation, regardless of length, must be accompanied by a reference citation that includes a page number. Any quote over six manuscript lines should have formal written permission to quote from the copyright owner. It is the author's responsibility to determine whether permission is required from the copyright owner and, if so, to obtain it. (See the bottom of the page for a template of a letter seeking copyright permission.)
Footnotes. These should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Essential footnotes should be indicated by superscript figures in the text and collected on a separate sheet at the end of the manuscript.
Reference citations within the text. Use authors' last names, with the year of publication in parentheses after the last author's name, e.g., "Jones and Smith (1987)"; alternatively, "(Brown, 1982; Jones & Smith, 1987; White, Johnson, & Thomas, 1990)". On first citation of references with three to six authors, give all names in full, thereafter use first author "et al.". If more than one article by the same author(s) in the same year is cited, the letters a, b, c etc. should follow the year.
Reference list. A full list of references quoted in the text should be given at the end of the paper in alphabetical order of authors' surnames (or chronologically for a group of references by the same authors), commencing as a new sheet, typed double spaced. Titles of journals and books should be given in full, e.g.:
Books:
Baddeley, A. D. (1999). Essentials of human memory. Hove, UK: Psychology Press.
Chapter in an edited book:
Plomin, R., & Dale, P. S. (2000). Genetics and early language development: A UK study of twins. In D. V. M. Bishop & L. B. Leonard (Eds.), Speech and language impairments in children: Causes, characteristics, intervention and outcome (pp. 35-51). Hove, UK: Psychology Press.
Journal article:
Schwartz, M. F., & Hodgson, C. (2002). A new multiword naming deficit: Evidence and interpretation. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 19, 263-288.
Tables. These should be kept to the minimum. Each table should be typed double spaced on a separate sheet, giving the heading, e.g., "Table 2", in Arabic numerals, followed by the legend, followed by the table. Make sure that appropriate units are given. Instructions for placing the table should be given in parentheses in the text, e.g., "(Table 2 about here)".
Figures. Figures should only be used when essential. The same data should not be presented both as a figure and in a table. Where possible, related diagrams should be grouped together to form a single figure. Figures should be drawn to professional standards and it is recommended that the linear dimensions of figures be approximately twice those intended for the final printed version. Each of these should be on a separate page, not integrated with the text. Figures will be reproduced directly from originals supplied by the author(s). These must be of good quality, clearly and completely lettered. Make sure that axes of graphs are properly labelled, and that appropriate units are given. Photocopies will reproduce poorly, as will pale or broken originals. Dense tones should be avoided, and never combined with lettering. Half-tone figures should be clear, highly-contrasted black and white glossy prints.
Black and white figures are included free of charge. Colour figures are not normally acceptable for publication in print -- however, it may be possible both to print in black and white and to publish online in colour. Colour figures will only be printed by prior arrangement between the editor(s), publisher and author(s); and authors may be asked to share the costs of inclusion of such figures.
The figure captions should be typed in a separate section, headed, e.g., "Figure 2", in Arabic numerals. Instructions for placing the figure should be given in parentheses in the text, e.g., "(Figure 2 about here)". More detailed Guidelines for the Preparation of Figure Artwork are available from the publisher: Psychology Press Ltd, 27 Church Road, Hove, East Sussex BN3 2FA, UK (Email: kirsten.buchanan@psypress.co.uk).
Statistics. Results of statistical tests should be given in the following form:
"... results showed an effect of group, F(2, 21) = 13.74, MSE = 451.98, p < .001, but there was no effect of repeated trials, F(5, 105) = 1.44, MSE = 17.70, and no interaction, F(10, 105) = 1.34, MSE = 17.70."
Other tests should be reported in a similar manner to the above example of an F -ratio. For a fuller explanation of statistical presentation, see pages 136-147 of the APA Publication Manual (5th ed.). For guidelines on presenting statistical significance, see pages 24-25.
Abbreviations. Abbreviations that are specific to a particular manuscript or to a very specific area of research should be avoided, and authors will be asked to spell out in full any such abbreviations throughout the text. Standard abbreviations such as RT for reaction time, SOA for stimulus onset asynchrony or other standard abbreviations that will be readily understood by readers of the journal are acceptable. Experimental conditions should be named in full, except in tables and figures.
AFTER ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLICATION IN THE JOURNAL
Proofs. Page proofs will be sent to the specified corresponding author of the article to check for typesetting accuracy. No changes to the original typescript will be permitted at this stage. Proofs should be returned promptly with the original copy-edited manuscript and query sheet.
Early electronic offprints (e-prints). Specified corresponding authors will receive their article by email 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 print publication of the article. One copy of the journal issue in which their paper appears will be sent by post to all specified corresponding authors free after print publication. Paper offprints can still be purchased by authors if they complete the enclosed offprint order form and return with payment together with their corrected proofs.
COPYRIGHT PERMISSION
Contributors are required to secure permission for the reproduction of any figure, table, or extensive (more than six manuscript lines) extract from the text, from a source which is copyrighted -- or owned -- by a party other than Psychology Press Ltd or the contributor.
This applies both to direct reproduction or "derivative reproduction" -- when the contributor has created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source.
