About the journal
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
The journal will publish original and significant review articles dealing with all aspects of neuroscience, where the relationship to the study of psychological processes and behavior is clearly established. Conversely, the journal will also publish articles whose primary focus deals with psychological processes and behavior, and which have relevance to one or more aspects of neuroscience.
Submissions to the journal are actively encouraged which deal with topics not only in the more traditional areas, but also in the following areas, whenever the reviews bring new insights into brain-behavior relations:
|
neuropsychology
cognitive neuroscience
brain imaging
in vivo monitoring of the brain's electrical and biochemical activities
molecular biology
genetics
neurocomputation |
 |
Theoretical articles and mini-reviews, for which the scope and literature coverage are more restricted, will also be published.
Instructions to Authors
Submission of Papers
Authors are requested to submit their original manuscript and figures with two copies to one of the Editors-in-Chief, Verity J. Brown, School of Psychology, University of St. Andrews, St. Andrews KY16 9JU, UK; Ann E. Kelley, Department of Psychiatry, University of Wisconsin-Madison Medical School, 6001 Research Park Blvd, Madison, WI 53719, USA.
Submission of a paper implies that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher. Manuscripts should be accompanied by a covering letter giving the names and addresses, including telephone, fax and email details, of four potential reviewers.
Types of Contributions
Original and significant review articles; Theoretical articles; Mini reviews.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Manuscripts must be typewritten, double-spaced with wide margins on one side of white paper. Good quality printouts with a font size of 12 or 10 pt are required. The corresponding author should be identified (include a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. Authors should consult a recent issue of the journal for style if possible. An electronic copy of the paper should accompany the final version. The Editors reserve the right to adjust style to certain standards of uniformity. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript since we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers. Original manuscripts are discarded one month after publication unless the Publisher is asked to return original material after use.
Paper length: The Editors insist upon clear, concise statement of facts and conclusions. Fragmentation of material into numerous short reports is discouraged.
Abstracts: Each paper submitted must be accompanied by an abstract, which does not exceed 170 words and must be suitable for use by abstracting journals. A list of 3-12 (or more) words or short phrases suitable for indexing terms should be typed at the bottom of the abstract page accompanying the manuscript. These terms will be printed with the paper at the end of the abstract. Abstracts should be prepared as follows: MYERS, R.D., C. Melchior and C. Gisolfi. Feeding and body temperature: Changes produced by excess calcium ions...NEUROSCI BIOBEHAV REV 21(1) XXX-XXX, 1998.- Marked differences in extent of diffusion have been...
Text: Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Vitae, Figure Captions and then Tables. Do not import the Figures or Tables into your text. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. Text footnotes should not be used: the material should be incorporated into the text.
Drugs: Proprietary (trademarked) names should be capitalized. The chemical name should precede the trade, popular name, or abbreviation of a drug the first time it occurs.
Anesthesia: In describing surgical procedures on animals, the type and dosage of the anesthetic agent should be specified. Curarizing agents are not anesthetics; if these were used; evidence must be provided that anesthesia of suitable grade and duration was employed.
Units and abbreviations: All dimensions and measurement must be specified in the metric system. Standard nomenclature, abbreviations and symbols, as specified by Royal Society Conference of Editors. Metrification in scientific journals, Am. Scient. 56:159-164; 1968, should be used throughout.
Formulas and equations: Structural chemical formulas, process flow-diagrams, and complicated mathematical expressions should be kept to a minimum. All subscripts, superscripts, Greek letters and unusual characters must be clearly identified.
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text, following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to references by a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. [1]) and the full reference should be given in a numerical list at the end of the paper.
References should be given in the following form:
Reference to a journal publication:
[1]Van der Geer J, Hanraads JAJ, Lupton RA. The art of writing a scientific article. J. Sci COmmun 2000;163:51-9.
Reference to a book:
[2]Strunk JR W, White EB. The elements of style. 3rd ed. New York: Macmillan; 1979.
Reference to a chapter in an edited book:
[3]Mettam GR, Adams LB. How to prepare an electronic version of your article. In: Jones BS, Smith RZ, editors. Introduction to the electronic age. New York: E-publishing Inc; 1999, p.281-304.
Illustrations: All illustrations should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All illustrations should be clearly marked on the back with the figure number and the author's name. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate sheet.
Line drawings: Good quality printouts on white paper produced in black ink are required. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large and bold to permit reproduction when the diagram has been reduced to a size suitable for inclusion in the journal. Dye-line prints or photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs: Original photographs must be supplied as they are to be reproduced (e.g. black and white or colour). If necessary, a scale should be marked on the photograph. Please note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
Colour: Where colour figures are required the author will be charged at the current colour printing costs.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a suitable caption and each table typed on a separate sheet. Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. No vertical rules and/or lines should be used. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs). Short or abbreviated column heads should be used. Statistical measures or variation, SD, SE, etc., should be identified. Analysis of variance tables should not be submitted, but significant F should be incorporated where appropriate within the text. The appropriate form for reporting F value is: F(11,20)=3.05, p<0.01.
Electronic Submission
Authors should submit an electronic copy of their paper with the final version of the manuscript. The electronic copy should match the hardcopy exactly. Always keep a backup copy of the electronic file for reference and safety.
