Manuscript Submission and Review
The Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society uses ScholarOne http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jins for online submission and peer review. Paper submissions are not accepted. Authors who are not able to submit their manuscripts online are asked to contact the Editorial Office at: jins@cambridge.org. Further information on ScholarOne can be found here, and queries can be directed to the Editorial Office.
Prior to online submission, please consult http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ for 6 keywords or mesh terms that are different from words in the title. Accurate mesh terms will increase the probability that your manuscript will be identified in online searches. Please follow the instructions carefully to avoid delays. The menu will prompt the author to provide all necessary information, including the manuscript category, the corresponding author including postal address, phone and fax numbers, and e-mail address, and suggested reviewers.
The website will automatically acknowledge receipt of the manuscript and provide a manuscript reference number. The Editor-in-Chief will assign the manuscript for review to an action editor and at least two other reviewers. Every effort will be made to provide the author with a review within 6 to 10 weeks of manuscript assignment. Rapid Communications will be reviewed within 4 weeks. If the Editor requests that revisions be made to a manuscript before publication, a maximum of 3 months will be allowed for preparation of the revision, except in unusual circumstances.
ORCID
We require all corresponding authors to identify themselves using ORCID when submitting a manuscript to this journal. ORCID provides a unique identifier for researchers and, through integration with key research workflows such as manuscript submission and grant applications, provides the following benefits:
- Discoverability: ORCID increases the discoverability of your publications, by enabling smarter publisher systems and by helping readers to reliably find work that you have authored.
- Convenience: As more organisations use ORCID, providing your iD or using it to register for services will automatically link activities to your ORCID record, and will enable you to share this information with other systems and platforms you use, saving you re-keying information multiple times.
- Keeping track: Your ORCID record is a neat place to store and (if you choose) share validated information about your research activities and affiliations.
See our ORCID FAQs for more information.
If you don’t already have an iD, you will need to create one if you decide to submit a manuscript to this journal. You can register for one directly from your user account on ScholarOne, or alternatively via https://ORCID.org/register.
If you already have an iD, please use this when submitting your manuscript, either by linking it to your ScholarOne account, or by supplying it during submission using the "Associate your existing ORCID iD" button.
ORCIDs can also be used if authors wish to communicate to readers up-to-date information about how they wish to be addressed or referred to (for example, they wish to include pronouns, additional titles, honorifics, name variations, etc.) alongside their published articles. We encourage authors to make use of the ORCID profile’s “Published Name” field for this purpose. This is entirely optional for authors who wish to communicate such information in connection with their article. Please note that this method is not currently recommended for author name changes: see Cambridge’s author name change policy if you want to change your name on an already published article. See our ORCID FAQs for more information.
Licence to publish
Before Cambridge can publish your manuscript, we need a signed licence to publish agreement. Under the agreement, certain rights are granted to the journal owner which allow publication of the article. The original ownership of the copyright in the article remains unchanged.
