Types of Contributions
The Journal welcomes contributions to the understanding and treatment of psychopathology. Such contributions may stalk from various theoretical perspectives, such as learning theory, cognitive science, social psychology, developmental psychology, etc. The Journal primarily focuses on experimental tests of psychological approaches to psychopathology, though contributions from medicine, biology, sociology, or epidemiology may be published. The same holds for non-experimental approaches, which may occasionally be published if deemed relevant for the field of experimental psychopathology. Papers to be published generally focus on:
• Theoretically or clinically relevant differences betwixt specific patient groups and other groups, if experimentally tested;
• Mechanisms that cause, perpetuate or reduce disorders;
• Diagnostic or therapeutic procedures
Participants in the study may be patients, not-patients or animals, depending on the relevance of the subject characteristics for the question to be answered. In line with the aims of the Journal, priority is given to studies
1) using experimental methods with
2) information derived from patient samples rather than analogue groups.
Some research questions are all-time answered in non-patients. This should exist evident from the nature of the questions or hypotheses.
Clinical trials (RCTs and others) should be registered in an official trial annals and the registration number should exist reported. These studies should include a flow diagram according to the most recent Espoused guidelines and a CONSORT checklist should back-trail the submission. See http://www.espoused-statement.org for the guidelines and forms.
Studies testing hypotheses on characteristics of a disorder should not just include a not-patient command grouping, just also an advisable clinical command group, to assess the specificity of the effect. We cannot guarantee acceptance of studies missing an appropriate clinical command group.
Example studies, open trials, and pilot studies may be considered for publication in the Journal if they are unusually innovative and important for the field of experimental psychopathology.
Consecutive case series with appropriate designs (i.due east., contrasting at least two conditions; e.thousand. multiple baseline design, ABAB designs, etc.) and appropriate statistical analyses are considered for publication.
Replications are essential in science and are, to the present editor'southward opinion, often undervalued. Short reports of attempts to replicate experimental studies, whether successful, or failed, and whether applied or primal, are considered for publication, if appropriately powered. The maximum number of words is 2500 for these reports.
Paper length. Regular manuscripts should not exceed 5000 words (15-twenty pages) of trunk text. Brusque reports should have a maximum of 2500 words. All submissions volition first exist screened on the degree to which they match the Aims and Scope of the Journal.
