PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES

The aim of The International Journal of Mental Health Promotion is to establish a high quality source of information and intelligence for managers and practitioners involved in the policy-making and implementation of mental health promotion and mental disorder prevention. The intention is to link theory and practice.

Articles submitted to the journal must be original work (not published or simultaneously submitted to another journal) and must be copyrighted to this journal unless the authors reserve the rights to themselves, before publication, by agreement with the editor.

For any queries about submission please contact the editor: editor@ijmhp.co.uk

General

  • Papers should normally be no more than 5,000 words in length except by prior agreement with the Editor, Michael Murray. They should be accompanied by a covering letter detailing permissions to reproduce any previously published material or to use illustrations that may identify individuals.
  • Papers should be submitted as an email attachment to: editor@ijmhp.co.uk, together with any additional files eg separate files for photographs or figures (see section on Tables and Illustrations below).
  • Manuscripts should be typed in the English language, double-spaced with a minimum of 3cm-wide margins. Formatting and layout should be kept to a minimum as these will need to be removed before the journal styling is added.
  • The following information should also be included: name, address, status of author, e-mail address and address for correspondence.

Tables and illustrations

  • Tables should not repeat data that are available elsewhere in the article e.g. in a figure.
  • Any illustrations, charts or graphs that are being reprinted from elsewhere will need copyright clearance. Obtaining permission to reproduce such items is the responsibility of the author, together with any payments that the copyright holder deems necessary. If you have difficulty obtaining permission to reprint an item, please inform the editor.
  • Figures (drawings and photographs) should be placed at the end of the article, together with appropriate captions. They should in addition be supplied as separate tif or jpg files (ie not embedded in the word processing file) wherever possible.

Abstracts

  • Articles should be prefaced with an abstract, of between 100 and 150 words in length, summarising the main points discussed in the article. This will greatly help the speed and accuracy with which the article can be included on major library databases.

References

  • All references cited should be included in full at the end of the article and give the following information: author, date, title of book or title of article and journal, journal volume, page numbers, place of publication and publisher.

Example:

Emerson E, Beasley F, Offord G & Mansell J (1992) An evaluation of hospital-based specialised staffed housing for people with seriously challenging behaviours. Journal of Intellectual Disability Research 36 291–307.

  • In the text, refer to references by name and date; for example: (Smith, 1994) or (Emerson et al, 1992).
  • Where there is more than one reference by the same author, add a, b or c to distinguish them: (Smith, 1994a).

Copyright

Copyright for all published material in the journal is held by The Clifford Beers Foundation unless otherwise specifically stated. Authors and illustrators may use their own material elsewhere after publication without permission but The Clifford Beers Foundation asks that this note be included in any such use: ‘first published in the International Journal of Mental Health Promotion… issue no…’
