AIMS AND SCOPEThis journal publishes extended reports and reviews of research in the theory and practice of behaviour therapy. The aim is to encourage and facilitate the dissemination of new ideas, findings and formulations in the field. In particular the editors hope to provide research and clinical workers with the opportunity to describe progress and convey their ideas in depth. The arrangement of the journal is especially suited to longer papers, each issue is made up of one major paper of about 35,000 words or two shorter related papers.The journal publishes papers that critically review a topic, present a systematic theoretical analysis or any integrated series of experiments, or a combination of these three types of presentation. Preference is given to papers that attempt to relate the theory, methods and results of experimental psychology to behavioural and emotional problems and their modification.
Journal of Anxiety Disorders is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the understanding, assessment, treatment, and prevention of anxiety disorders. The journal welcomes submissions on all aspects of anxiety disorders included in the current diagnostic classification system as well as on disorders formerly categorized as anxiety disorders (e.g., obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder). Topics of interest related to anxiety disorders include behavioral, cognitive and biological assessments; diagnosis and classification; neuroscience and genetics; sociocultural considerations; mechanisms and comorbidities; epidemiology; psychosocial and psychopharmacological treatments; prevention; implementation science; theoretical advancement; and policy. Methodologies can include clinical trials, experimental paradigms, intensive longitudinal designs, mixed methods or qualitative approaches, among others. Review articles that adhere to rigorous, recommended guidelines, are preferably pre-registered, and significantly contribute to advancing knowledge in the field are also appropriate for submission. Theoretical advancements are also appropriate for submission.The mission of the journal is three-fold. One goal is to promote translational work in anxiety disorders research, so that we can effectively bridge the gap between basic science, clinical research, implementation, practice, and policy. Another goal is to encourage interdisciplinary research integrating perspectives from diverse fields (e.g., psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, genetics, social work, public health) and from different stakeholders (e.g., researchers, providers, funders, policy makers) to foster a comprehensive understanding of and interventions for anxiety disorders. The last goal is to enhance a global focus, welcoming research on diverse populations and across cultural contexts.
Journal of Mood & Anxiety Disorders, the official journal of the ADAA, welcomes original clinical, translational, and basic research as well as synthetic review articles covering neurobiology (genetics and neuroimaging), epidemiology, experimental psychopathology, pathophysiology and treatment (psychotherapeutic, neuromodulation, and pharmacologic) aspects of mood and anxiety disorders. We encourage original research submissions from basic neuroscientists and pharmacologists as well as all clinical investigators to establish a platform for translational advances and discussion. To advance this discussion, review papers focusing on current treatment advances as well as those providing innovative and cutting-edge reviews of key areas and issues guiding mood and anxiety disorder science will be prioritized. We encourage submissions from clinicians and international experts. All submissions will be peer reviewed.
Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders (JOCRD) is an international journal that publishes high quality research and clinically-oriented articles dealing with all aspects of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related conditions (OC spectrum disorders; e.g., trichotillomania, hoarding, body dysmorphic disorder). The journal invites studies of clinical and non-clinical (i.e., student) samples of all age groups from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and other medical and health sciences. The journal's broad focus encompasses classification, assessment, psychological and psychiatric treatment, prevention, psychopathology, neurobiology and genetics. Clinical reports (descriptions of innovative treatment methods) and book reviews on all aspects of OCD-related disorders will be considered, as will theoretical and review articles that make valuable contributions.Suitable topics for manuscripts include:The boundaries of OCD and relationships with OC spectrum disordersValidation of assessments of obsessive-compulsive and related phenomenaOCD symptoms in diverse social and cultural contextsStudies of neurobiological and genetic factors in OCD and related conditionsExperimental and descriptive psychopathology and epidemiological studiesStudies on relationships among cognitive and behavioral variables in OCD and related disordersInterpersonal aspects of OCD and related disordersEvaluation of psychological and psychiatric treatment and prevention programs, and predictors of outcome.
