The Journal welcomes research, clinical, theoretical, or policy papers that are directed at development of concept or theory, reconceptualization of major issues, and/or previous findings, or policy applications related to human rights and social justice. Selection of articles for publication is based on originality, adequacy of method, significance of findings, contribution to theory, relevance to service delivery and public policy, and clarity and brevity of presentation.
The American Orthopsychiatric Association assumes no responsibility for any statements of fact or opinion in the papers printed. Nor does acceptance of advertising in the Journal imply endorsement by the Association of any products or services advertised.
The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject any manuscript, to suggest modifications prior to publication, and to edit accepted manuscripts in conformance with Journal style and standards.
Articles published in the Journal are selected from unsolicited submissions, papers invited by the Editor, and manuscripts of presentations at the American Orthopsychiatric Association's annual meeting. Whatever their source, all articles considered for publication in the Journal are subject to a process of masked peer review.
Manuscripts should be prepared for masked review (i.e., with title page free of author[s] name[s], and text free of obvious author-identifying references) and accompanied by a cover letter with mailing address, daytime telephone number, and fax number (if available).
Manuscripts should be in final form, with consistent headings and subheadings in roman typeface (i.e., no boldface, italics, etc.).
Manuscripts are limited to 30 pages, inclusive of references, tables, and figures. The abstract should be a maximum of 180 words typed on a separate page.
The entire manuscript, including quotations, footnotes, references, and tables, must be double-spaced.
Footnotes should be worked back into the text or deleted, if possible. Where essential, they should appear on a page by themselves following the references and be indicated by superscript Arabic numerals.
Manuscripts of papers presented at Ortho's annual meeting, and intended for publication, must be submitted in timely fashion to the Journal in accordance with submission guidelines. Publication elsewhere than in the Journal or by the Association is prohibited prior to release by the Editor.
Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively for publication in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry. Papers previously published or now under consideration elsewhere are not eligible for editorial review.
Only photocopies or computer-generated duplicates should be submitted, as rejected manuscripts are disposed of following review.
