About the journal

The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP) is internationally recognised to be the leading journal covering both child and adolescent psychology and psychiatry. JCPP publishes the highest quality clinically relevant research in psychology, psychiatry and related disciplines. With a large and expanding global readership, its coverage includes studies on epidemiology, diagnosis, psychotherapeutic and psychopharmacological treatments, behaviour, cognition, neuroscience, neurobiology and genetic aspects of childhood disorders. Articles published include experimental, longitudinal and intervention studies, especially those that advance our understanding of developmental psychopathology and that inform both theory and clinical practice. An important function of the Journal is to bring together empirical research, clinical studies and reviews of high quality that arise from different points of view, different theoretical perspectives and different disciplines.
Coverage:
- Empirical Papers
- Research Reviews
- Practitioner Reviews
- Annual Research Reviews
- Book Reviews
In each Volume one issue is devoted to the Annual Research Review. This identifies current and future trends and enables readers to keep up-to-date with research both in and outside their main area of specialization.
The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry is one of the journals published by Blackwell on behalf of the Association for Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH - formerly the Association for Child Psychology and Psychiatry.) Members receive both JCPP and Child and Adolescent Mental Health as part of their membership benefits. Information on joining ACAMH can be found by visiting the Society website using the link at the top of this page.

General Contributions from any discipline that further knowledge of the mental health and behaviour of children and adolescents are welcomed. Papers are published in English, but submissions are welcomed from any country. Contributions should be of a standard that merits presentation before an international readership.
Papers may assume either of the following forms:
- Original articles
These should make an original contribution to empirical knowledge, to the theoretical understanding of the subject, or to the development of clinical research and practice. Adult data are not usually accepted for publication unless they bear directly on developmental issues in childhood and adolescence. Original articles should not exceed 6000 words, including title page, abstract, references, tables, and figures; the total word count should be given on the title page of the manuscript. Limit tables and figures to 5 or fewer double-spaced manuscript pages. It is possible to submit additional tables or figures as an Appendix for an online-only version. Manuscripts exceeding the word limit will not be accepted without permission from the Editor.
- Review articles
These should survey an important area of interest within the general field. These include papers in the Annual Research Review, Research Review and Practitioner Review sections, which are usually commissioned. Word limits for review papers are stated at the time of commissioning.
Authors' professional and ethical responsibilities
Submission of a paper to JCPP will be held to imply that it represents an original contribution not previously published (except in the form of an abstract or preliminary report); that it is not being considered for publication elsewhere; and that, if accepted by the Journal, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the Editors. When submitting a manuscript, authors should state in a covering letter whether they have currently in press, submitted or in preparation any other papers that are based on the same data set, and, if so, provide details for the Editors.
Ethics Authors are reminded that the Journal adheres to the ethics of scientific publication as detailed in the Ethical principles of psychologists and code of conduct (American Psychological Association, 1992). These principles also imply that the piecemeal, or fragmented publication of small amounts of data from the same study is not acceptable.
Authorship Authorship credit should be given only if substantial contribution has been made to the following:
· Conception and design, or collection, analysis and interpretation of data
· Drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, and final approval of the version to be published
The corresponding author must ensure that there is no one else who fulfils the criteria who is not included as an author. Each author is required to have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for the content.
Conflict of interest All submissions to JCPP require a declaration of interest. This should list fees and grants from, employment by, consultancy for, shared ownership in, or any close relationship with, an organisation whose interests, financial or otherwise, may be affected by the publication of the paper. This pertains to all authors, and all conflict of interest should be noted on page 1 of the submitted manuscript. Where there is no conflict of interest, this should also be stated. 2009 JCPP Editor Conflicts of Interest Statement: this can be found by clicking here. The JCPP Editor Conflicts of Interest Statement will be published annually in issue 1 of each volume from 2010.
Note to NIH Grantees Pursuant to NIH mandate, Wiley-Blackwell will post the accepted version of contributions authored by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central upon acceptance. This accepted version will be made publicly available 12 months after publication. For further information, see www.wiley.com/go/nihmandate.
Informed consent Authors must ensure that all research meets the ethical guidelines, including adherence to the legal requirements of the study county. Within the Methods section, authors should indicate that 'informed consent' has been appropriately obtained. When submitting a manuscript, the manuscript page number where the statement appears should be given.
Randomised controlled trials The Journal recommends to authors the CONSORT guidelines (1996, Journal of the American Medical Association, 276, 637-639) and their basis (2001, Annals of Internal Medicine, 134, 663-694) in relation to the reporting of randomised controlled clinical trials; also recommended is their extension to cluster randomised controlled trials (2004, British Medical Journal, 328, 702-708). In particular, authors must include in their paper a flow chart illustrating the progress of subjects through the trial (CONSORT diagram) and the CONSORT checklist. The flow diagram should appear in the main paper, the checklist in the online Appendix. Trial registry name, registration identification number, and the URL for the registry should also be included at the end of the abstract, and also during online manuscript submission. Trials should be registered in one of the following trial registries:
http://www.controlled-trials.com/isrctn/ Australian Clinical Trials Registry http://actr.ctc.usyd.edu.au Clinical Trials http://www.clinicaltrials.gov ISRCTN Register http://isrctn.org Nederlands Trial Register http://www.trialregister.nl/trialreg/index.asp UMIN Clinical Trials Registry http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr
Access to data If the study includes original data, at least one author must confirm that he or she had full access to all the data in the study, and takes responsibility for the integrity of the data and the accuracy of the data analysis.

Help with submitting online can be obtained from Carole Sutherland at ACAMH (E-mail: carole.sutherland@acamh.org.uk)
1. The manuscript should be double spaced throughout, including references and tables. Pages should be numbered consecutively. The preferred file formats are MS Word or WordPerfect, and should be PC compatible. If using other packages the file should be saved as Rich Text Format or Text only.
2. Papers should be concise and written in English in a readily understandable style. Care should be taken to avoid racist or sexist language, and statistical presentation should be clear and unambiguous. The Journal follows the style recommendations given in the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edn., 2001).
3. The Journal is not able to offer a translation service, but, in order to help authors whose first language is not English, the Editors will be happy to arrange for accepted papers to be prepared for publication in English by a sub-editor.
Layout Title: The first page of the manuscript should give the title, name(s) and short address(es) of author(s), and an abbreviated title (for use as a running head) of up to 80 characters.
Abstract: The abstract should not exceed 300 words and should be structured in the following way with bold marked headings: Background; Methods; Results; Conclusions; Keywords; Abbreviations. The abbreviations will apply where authors are using acronyms for tests or abbreviations not in common usage.
Key points: All papers should include a text box at the end of the manuscript outlining the four to five Key (bullet) points of the paper. These should briefly (80-120 words) outline what's known, what's new, and what's clinically relevant.
Headings: Articles and research reports should be set out in the conventional format: Methods, Results, Discussion and Conclusion. Descriptions of techniques and methods should only be given in detail when they are unfamiliar. There should be no more than three (clearly marked) levels of subheadings used in the text.
Acknowledgements: These should appear at the end of the main text, before the References.
Correspondence to. Full name, address, phone, fax and email details of the corresponding author should appear at the end of the main text, before the References.
References The JCPP follows the text referencing style and reference list style detailed in the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edn.).
References in text: References in running text should be quoted as follows: Smith and Brown (1990), or (Smith, 1990), or (Smith, 1980, 1981a, b), or (Smith & Brown, 1982), or (Brown & Green, 1983; Smith, 1982).
For up to five authors, all surnames should be cited in the first instance, with subsequent occurrences cited as et al., e.g. Smith et al. (1981) or (Smith et al., 1981). For six or more authors, cite only the surname of the first author followed by et al. However, all authors should be listed in the Reference List. Join the names in a multiple author citation in running text by the word 'and'. In parenthetical material, in tables, and in the References List, join the names by an ampersand (&). References to unpublished material should be avoided.
Reference list: Full references should be given at the end of the article in alphabetical order, and not in footnotes. Double spacing must be used.
References to journals should include the authors' surnames and initials, the year of publication, the full title of the paper, the full name of the journal, the volume number, and inclusive page numbers. Titles of journals must not be abbreviated and should be italicised.
References to books should include the authors' surnames and initials, the year of publication, the full title of the book, the place of publication, and the publisher's name.

Use Ed.(s) for Editor(s); edn. for edition; p.(pp.) for page(s); Vol. 2 for Volume 2.
Tables and Figures All Tables and Figures should appear at the end of main text and references, but have their intended position clearly indicated in the manuscript. They should be constructed so as to be intelligible without reference to the text. Any lettering or line work should be able to sustain reduction to the final size of reproduction. Tints and complex shading should be avoided and colour should not be used unless essential. Figures should be originated in a drawing package and saved as TIFF, EPS, or PDF files. Further information about supplying electronic artwork can be found in the Blackwell electronic artwork guidelines at http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/authors/digill.asp
Nomenclature and symbols Each paper should be consistent within itself as to nomenclature, symbols and units. When referring to drugs, give generic names, not trade names. Greek characters should be clearly indicated.
Manuscript processing Refereeing The Journal has a policy of anonymous peer review and the initial refereeing process seldom requires more than three months. Most manuscripts will require some revision by the authors before final acceptance. The Editorial decision on the suitability of a manuscript for publication is final.
Proofs Proofs will be sent to the designated author only. These will be sent via email as a PDF file, and therefore a current email address must be provided with the manuscript. Only typographical or factual errors may be changed at proof stage. The publisher reserves the right to charge authors for correction of non-typographical errors.
Offprints The designated author will receive a PDF file of their article. The designated author should undertake to forward copies of the PDF file to their co-authors.
Copyright Exclusive Licence Form Authors will be required to sign an Exclusive Licence Form (ELF) for all papers accepted for publication. Please note that signing the Exclusive Licence Form does not affect ownership of copyright in the material.

Advice for NIH authors
JCPP and Wiley-Blackwell will support NIH funded authors by posting the accepted version of articles by NIH grant-holders to PubMed Central upon acceptance by the journal. The accepted version is the version that incorporates all amendments made during peer review, but prior to the publisher's copy-editing and typesetting. This accepted version will be made publicly available 12 months after publication. The NIH mandate applies to all articles based on research that has been wholly or partially funded by the NIH and that are accepted for publication on or after April 7, 2008. Please let the editorial office know that you are an NIH-funded author when you submit your article.
Alternatively, any author wishing to publish their article open access can do so using our author-pays Online Open service - please see details below.
NEW: Online Open OnlineOpen is a pay-to-publish service from Wiley-Blackwell that offers authors whose papers are accepted for publication the opportunity to pay up-front for their manuscript to become open access (i.e. free for all to view and download) via the Wiley InterScience website. Each OnlineOpen article will be subject to a one-off fee of $3000 to be met by or on behalf of the Author in advance of publication. Upon online publication, the article (both full-text and PDF versions) will be available to all for viewing and download free of charge. The print version of the article will also be branded as OnlineOpen and will draw attention to the fact that the paper can be downloaded for free via the Wiley InterScience service.
Any authors wishing to send their paper OnlineOpen will be required to complete the combined payment and copyright licence form available here.
(Please note this form is for use with OnlineOpen material ONLY.)
