New manuscripts should be submitted through our ScholarOne Manuscripts online submission site at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/pnrh
 

New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre. If any assistance is needed with this, please feel free to e-mail the Editorial Assistant, Duncan Nicholas at reviews@psypress.co.uk. You may also contact the Editorial Assistant by phone on 02070 177730.

If you wish to submit a revision of a manuscript that was not previously submitted through the ScholarOne website, please send it and your covering letter to the Editorial Assistant by email.

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.

Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest

Copyright - It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to Taylor & Francis. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors retain many rights under the Taylor & Francis rights policies.

 

FORMAT

Typescripts. The style and format of the typescripts should conform to the specifications given in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). Typescripts should be double spaced 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.
(5) 3-5 keywords

Footnotes. These should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Essential footnotes should be indicated by superscript figures in the text and collected on a separate page at the end of the manuscript.

References:

Reference citations within the text. Use authors' last names, with the year of publication, e.g., “(Brown, 1982; Jones & Smith, 1987; White, Johnson, & Thomas, 1990)”. On first citation of references with three to five authors, give all names in full, thereafter use [first author] “et al.”. In the references, the first six authors should be listed in full.

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. If a paper is in preparation, submitted, or under review, the reference should include the authors, the title, and the year of the draft (the paper should also be cited throughout the paper using the year of the draft). Manuscripts that are “in press” should also include the publisher or journal, and should substitute “in press” for the date.

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 page, typed double spaced. Titles of journals and books should be given in full, e.g.:

Tables. These should be kept to the minimum. Each table should be typed double spaced on a separate page, 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 and 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. Each figure should be on a separate page, not integrated with the text. 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)". 

For more detailed guidelines see Preparation of Figure Artwork.

Statistics. Results of statistical tests should be given in the following form:

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 the APA Publication Manual (6th ed.).

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.

 

iOpenAccess
Authors whose manuscripts have been accepted for publication in certain journals have the option to pay a one-off fee to make their article free to read online via the Neuropsychological Rehabilitation website.
