Instructions to Authors
I. General Information
The Archives of Neuropsychiatry is the official publication of the Turkish Association of Neuropsychiatry. It is published quarterly and four editions annually constitute a volume. The Archives of Neuropsychiatry is a peer reviewed scientific journal in which clinical and basic science manuscripts in the fields of psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery, clinical psychology and behavioral sciences are published.
The language of the journal is both Turkish and English. Manuscripts submitted to the journal should not have been previously published, accepted for publication or be in the process of evaluation for publication in any other journal published in Turkish and English. This requirement does not apply to manuscripts presented as bulletins in scientific meetings and whose summaries are published. In such cases however, the name, date and place of the meeting, in which the paper was presented, should be stated.
The format of the manuscripts should be in accordance with the rules of “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals: Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publications” (http://www.icmje.org).
The authors are asked to declare any financial relations concerning the study. All authors should state that they scientifically contributed to and took responsibility in the study and declare that there is no conflict of interest. The authors should acknowledge and provide information on grants, contracts or other financial support of the study provided by any foundations and institutions or firms.
No fee or compensation will be paid for manuscripts published in the journal. Editorial board assumes that the author(s) are obliged not to submit the manuscript to another journal before the completion of the evaluation process.
In the “method” section of the manuscript concerned with experimental research on humans or animals, a sentence showing that the informed consent of the patients or volunteers has been obtained following a detailed explanation of the interventions carried out on them. In such studies, author(s) should clearly state the compliance with international guidelines such as “Declaration of Helsinki” and “The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals”. Declaration of Helsinki can be found at www.wma.net/e/policy/pdf/17c.pdf. In experimental animal studies, ethical considerations within “The Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals” (www.nap.edu/catalog/5140.html) should be followed. Moreover, the author(s) must comply with “Regulation on Medical Research” issued by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health and published in the Official Journal dated 29 January 1993 and numbered 21480; and more recently published rules laid out in government ethics rules. They should forward a copy of the Ethics Committee Approval received from the relevant institution.
Standard abbreviations used in the text are written in full when first mentioned. For example, when first cited in the manuscript, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) should be written, thereafter given as HDRS. In the use of drugs’ names in the manuscript, generic names should be written. Measurement units are given according to the metric system; e.g. written as mg, no punctuation is used, in the case of extensions (‘) is used as a separator. Laboratory measurements are reported in International System units (US; Systéme International: SI).
II. Editorial and Peer Review
All submitted manuscripts are reviewed initially by the Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors. Manuscripts are evaluated according to the following criteria: material is original and timely, writing is clear, study methods are appropriate, data are valid, conclusions are reasonable and supported by the data, information is important, and the topic has general interest for the scope of the journal. From these basic criteria, the editors decide whether a manuscript reaches a priority score to justify peer review. Manuscripts with insufficient priority for publication are rejected promptly. Manuscripts which have not been straightly rejected are sent to expert consultants for peer review. Although rare, it is possible for an exceptional manuscript to be accepted upon submission.
Manuscripts considered to be of interest by the editors will be peer reviewed by internationally recognized experts on the subject. Each manuscript is sent to 3–5 reviewers. When necessary, a biostatistician will also review manuscripts. A copy of the study protocol may be requested during the review process.
Reviewers are matched to the paper according to their expertise. Our reviewer database is constantly being updated to ensure the reviewer profile matches that of the topic being discussed in the manuscript. We welcome suggestions for reviewers from the author though these recommendations may or may not be considered.
