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 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
