Advances in Mind-Body Medicine
Call for papers
Advances explores the relationship between mind, body, spirit, and health: the human experience of health, illness and medical care; and the clinical, social, and personal implications of a medicine that acknowledges the whole person. Advances looks for fresh thinking, vigorous debate, and careful analysis.
Submissions are usually acknowledged within 2 weeks of receipt. Advances cannot accept responsibility for lost or mislaid manuscripts. Keep original copies in your possession. Upon receipt you will be notified of the acceptance for peer review. You will then be notified of all processing and publication fees. Two or more authorities will judge the validity, originality, and significance of the work presented. After the manuscript has been reviewed, the corresponding author will be informed whether it has been accepted for publication, rejected, or requires revision.
