Language
World Journal“Psychotherapy” expects that when the authors of a
paper do not have English as a first language, they will have their
text checked by a native English speaker before submission unless
circumstances or resources prohibit it.
Layout
The first page of the file should contain the title of the paper,
names of authors, the address where the work was carried out, and the
full postal and email addresses of the author who will check proofs and
receive correspondence and offprints. The second page should contain
only the title, names of authors, an abstract and up to seven keywords.
The entire manuscript, including references, tables, figures and any
other material, should be numbered in one sequence from the title page
onwards. Footnotes to the text should be avoided where possible.
Only commonly accepted abbreviations are allowed. Rarely used and
highly specialized terms should be explained. The International System
of Units (SI) should be employed.
An intervention (drug) description should include its active substance,
its commercial and generic name and the producing company’s name. All
names and doses must be accurate. Post-registration clinical trial
descriptions must have information on the registration and the
permission for the dugs in question to be used by the official
registering entity (registration number and date).
Abstract
Research report abstracts should use the following headings: Aims,
Methods, Results and Conclusions. In the case of addiction history
articles (case reports) please use the headings: Background, Case
descriptions, Conclusions. Abstracts should normally be no more than
200 words long.
References
Should follow good citation practice and normally include only items
that are retrievable through standard bibliographic sources i.e. not
poster presentations, unpublished conference papers, work in
preparation or under review, unpublished manuscripts or personal
communications.
When an author's name is mentioned in the text, the date of the
reference should be inserted in parentheses immediately after the name,
e. g. <text> (Heimer, L., Harlan, R.E., Alheid, G.F. et al, 1997)
<text>. The reference list should be numbered in the order of
appearance (see examples below).
Please give the names and initials of all authors (unless there are
more than six, when only the first six should be given, followed by et al).
The authors' names are followed by the title of the article, the title
of the journal, the year of publication, the volume number and the
first and last page numbers. Issue/part numbers are not required.
References to books should give the names of authors or editors, title,
place of publication, publisher and year. Please be sure to include
page numbers for book chapters.
Foreign language citations should be accompanied by a bracketed English
language translation. Internet articles should only be used where
printed material is not available. They should be treated in the same
way as printed material. Authors must verify references against the
original documents before submitting the article.

Illustrations
These should be both included in the Word document and be sent as
additional files. All photographs, graphs and diagrams should be
referred to as Figures in the text and should be numbered consecutively
in Arabic numerals (e.g. 'Fig. 3'). A list of legends for the figures
should be submitted on a separate page o the file; legends should
include keys to any symbols. In the full-text online edition of the
journal, figure legends may be truncated in abbreviated links to the
full-screen version. Therefore, the first 100 characters of any legend
should inform the reader of key aspects of the figure. Individual
figures and tables size should not exceed A4 page (210 x 290 mm).
Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos,
photomicrographs, etc.) should be digital files which should follow
these guidelines: 300 dpi or higher; sized to fit on journal page;
TIFF, GIF or JPEG format submitted both as separate files and embedded
in text files.
Peer Review
All manuscripts, including those written at the invitation of the
editor, are subject to peer review by at least two experts. Upon
completion of the review (usually a 5-week process), the author(s) will
be advised of the decision on the manuscript. Please note that all
reviews remain anonymous.
PDF offprints
The corresponding author will receive a PDF offprint of their
article in addition to a free copy of the issue in which their article
appears.
Other instructions
Accepted articles are published free of charge. No author’s honorarium is paid.
