Authors are invited to send their manuscripts in English by email in word format to: info@psy-res.org
Manuscripts must be original, previously unpublished, and not being reviewed for publication elsewhere (for further details see Guide lines for reviewers).
Authors will be invited to complete an online copyright licence form before the reviewing process can begin. After publication in our journal, authors may use their own material in other publications, provided that the journal is acknowledged as the original place of publication.
If the manuscript contains verbal or visual material from copyright sources, it is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce. In respect of international guidelines, in any report of clinical or research cases it is the author’s responsibility to hide details which may lead to the identity of the participants.
Please note that by submitting an article for publication you confirm that you are the corresponding/submitting author and that we may retain your email address for the purpose of communicating with you about the article. You agree to notify if your details change.
Articles submitted are normally sent to two reviewers (their name will not be disclosed) and a decision is made by the editors based on their comments.
Please save your manuscript into two separate files: Authors’ details and acknowledgements and Manuscript. Please keep a backup and hard copies of the files submitted.
Authors’ details and acknowledgements
This file should include the title of the manuscript, full names of the authors and their affiliations. The author who corresponds with the journal should also include telephone number, e-mail address and postal address. It must also include an exact word count of the article.
Acknowledgements: All funding sources should be acknowledged. Intellectual, technical or other support that does not merit authorship may also be acknowledged. It is the author’s responsibility to inform such individuals before the publication and give the opportunity to decline the acknowledgement. Please avoid any promotional statements.
Manuscript
This file should contain the title and the main body of the manuscript. To ensure anonymity in the review process, do not include the names of authors or institution in the abstract or body of the manuscript. Please submit these files in word format; we do not accept pdf files. Please include page numbers.
Abstract: Manuscripts should contain a short abstract of no more than 150 words. Please also include subject categories and between 3-6 keywords.
Manuscripts: Articles should be between 1000 and 2500 words in length (plus abstract, appendices and references). Articles longer than 2500 words will not be considered for publication. As regards writing styles, authors are reminded that our readership is broad and international and often not English mother tongue.
References: A reference list should appear at the end. It should include only those references cited in the text. References should be arranged alphabetically by author, and chronologically for each author. Publications for the same author appearing in a single year should use a,b,c etc to help identify the corresponding references cited in the text. Please indicate secondary references for any quotes cited by other authors. The names of journals should be given in full. In case of web sites or journals on internet, add the web address and the date of your access.

In-text references should be cited by giving the author's name, year of publication (Smith, 2001) and specific page numbers after a direct quotation. If there is more than one reference, the list of references should be in chronological order (Smith, 2005; Peterson, 2014). In case of more than ., the first name should be followed by et al. and the names should be listed in full in the References. Throughout the article authors should be careful in maintaining authorial anonymity; where authors cite their own works in the text, they should cite them as 'author's own' in both text and bibliography until publication (Authors' own, 2007).
Conflict of Interest: Please include conflict of interest declarations in the Acknowledgments section. For "no conflict," please specify: "The authors declare no competing financial interests."
