AUTHORS INFORMATION
Advances in Mind-Body Medicine
Information for Authors
The editors of Advances in Mind-Body Medicine invite authors to submit original papers for consideration.
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.
Papers most likely to be accepted for consideration present authoritative information and compelling points of view on the role of psychological, social, and spiritual factors in health promotion and the prevention, treatment, and healing of illness. We are particularly interested in review articles, theoretical models, opinion and commentary, case reports, and research reports. Papers must not be available online, published, or submitted elsewhere for consideration.
Unsolicited submissions are usually acknowledged within 2 weeks of receipt. Advances cannot accept responsibility for lost or mislaid manuscripts. Keep original copies in your possession. All submissions are subject to peer review. 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. Authors will be asked to transfer copyright to InnoVision Health Media (the publisher of Advances) when their manuscripts are accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts become the property of InnoVision Health Media and may not be published or be made available online without written permission. If possible, please use MS Word for PC or Mac. All accepted manuscripts are subject to editing to conform to the American Medical Association Manual of Style, 10th edition, as well as accepted journalistic standards.
