If substantial revisions are requested, the paper will be sent again for outside review. Every effort will be made to expedite such review. Authors submitting a revised manuscript will be asked to provide four copies and a PC-compatible disk. Generally, manuscripts are edited within three or four months from date of acceptance. He or she will be asked to check the printout carefully to make sure the editing did not introduce any inaccuracies and to make any necessary changes, answer editorial queries, and contact the editorial office by a specified date.
All authors receive complimentary copies of the issue as well as a price list for ordering reprints.
Recent years of the journal are available on line at psychservices.psychiatryonline.org. The journal publishes an annual index each December. For each column, the column editor obtains unpublished material within the content guidelines that the journal editor and the column editor have agreed on. As needed, the column editor works with the authors of the individual columns to present the material within the specified length and format. Clarity is important because Psychiatric Services is a practical, interdisciplinary journal.
