MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION PAGE
Editor: G. E. Berrios
History of Psychiatry adheres to a rigorous double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties.
Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
PAPERS should be submitted to Professor German E. Berrios, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Addenbrooke's Hospital (Box 189), Hills Rd, Cambridge CB2 2QQ, UK (geb11@cam.ac.uk). The length of a paper should not be more than 10,000 words, including notes and references. A paper typescript should be submitted (one copy) clearly printed in double spacing on one side of the paper only, using A4 (21.0 29.7cm), AND a Microsoft word file of the paper should also be sent by email (or sent with the typescript on a DOS-FORMATTED 3.5-inch diskette) Authors should keep a copy of the typescript for the correction of proofs.
CLASSIC TEXT. Authors may submit candidate typescripts.
(1) Together, the introduction and the text should not be more than 10,000 words.
(2) The introduction should: (a) justify why the translated paper is considered as classic or seminal; and (b) contextualize the translation historically, that is, provide biographical details on the author and information on the contemporary issues and debates that led the author to write the paper in question. Classic papers should be chosen on the basis of having illuminated their own historical period rather than as being 'forerunners' of current clinical categories or issues.
(3) The original formatting (paragraphs, headings and references, etc.) of the classical text must be changed as little as possible. The accompanying scholarly apparatus should include a justification for any change, together with clarifications, historical notes, references and translational difficulties. To help the reader to make up his/her own mind, it is advisable to add the problematic terms in brackets.
(4) Copyright regulations must be respected. Papers whose authors have died 70 or more years ago are usually free from copyright. If the journal in which the article first appeared is extant, it is advisable to ask permission from the journal editor. Any fees or charges levied by the journal must be borne by the translator.
TITLE PAGE of a paper should include the title, the author's name and affiliation, the address to which proofs are to be sent, and e-mail address.History of Psychiatry uses blind reviews. To facilitate this, the author is requested to ensure that the manuscript, apart from the title page, contains no clue to identity, and that the first page of the manuscript is headed with the paper's title but no other identification.
TITLES should be so worded that the first part may be used as a running headline (maximum length 40 characters including spaces), or alternatively an abbreviated title of the same length may be given.
ABSTRACT. An abstract of the paper in not more than 120 words, and five keywords in alphabetical order, should be typed out on a separate sheet.

Guidance Notes for Book Reviewers
LENGTH OF REVIEW
Reviews should be between 500 and 1000 words, unless a reviewer is asked to write a longer essay review of up to 3000 words which sets the content of a book in a wider or comparative context and/or covers more than one book.
CONTENT
Reviews should generally comment on the following issues:
1) the contents of the book in broad terms
2) the book's readability/stylistic qualities
3) the distinctiveness, originality and breadth of the book
4) the scholarly standards achieved by the book, including issues of historical and factual accuracy
5) the intellectual and structural coherence and representativeness of the book (especially if an edited collection of essays)
6) the importance of the book's contribution to existing historiography and methodologies in the field, and how significantly it adjusts our existing knowledge
7) the importance/utility of the book for different audiences, especially historians of psychiatry and clinicians, and for historians in general
8) the utility or importance of the book as a source of reference or undergraduate textbook (where appropriate)
9) any other particular strengths or limitations of the book as perceived by the reviewer
Avoid personal and other comments that are not adequately substantiated or might be deemed libellous. The editors reserve the right to refuse material where deemed inadequate.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPT
The heading of a review should be in the following format:
Author(s), title of book under review, place(s) of publication (including state if USA), name of publisher, year of publication, number of pages, number of illustrations (if any), cover price, ISBN (hbk and pbk if available).
Example:
Susan K. Morrisey (2007) Suicide and the Body Politic in Imperial Russia (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press). Pp.xv+384. 55.00 ISBN 978-0-521-86545-6.
Reviewers should supply their name, title, institutional affiliation, full postal address, email, phone and fax numbers at the end of the typescript, and before any references.
STYLE AND PRESENTATION
Quotation marks should be single and not double unless they indicate a quotation within a quotation. All figures up to and including ten should be given as words, all above ten in numbers, except where a series is given, thus '8 sheep, 12 horses and 36 goats'. Use the following: 'eighteenth century' (not '18th century'); 'eighteenth-century doctors' (not '18th/eighteenth century doctors'); '1930s' (not '1930's'); 'per annum' and 'per cent'; 1852-72 (not 1852-1872). In general, when referring to page numbers in sequence, use the shortest form: thus 20-6, 101-7, 151-7; but note exceptions: 10-13, 11-17. The review should be printed in one font only and in 12 point. Print facilities such as bold should be avoided (except in the heading).
NOTES/REFERENCES
Endnotes and/or additional references to be kept to an absolute minimum (especially in shorter reviews). If they are essential, they should follow the format prescribed for full-length articles for the journal, i.e., Harvard-style referencing. More extensive references will only be permitted in essay reviews. Endnotes must be numbered consecutively throughout the review, and typed double spaced at the end of the article, with a uniform hanging indent.

Andrews, Jonathan and Scull, Andrew (2001) Undertaker of the Mind: John Monro and Mad-
Doctoring in Eighteenth-Century England (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press).

SUBMISSION OF TYPESCRIPT
Reviews should (unless otherwise stated) be submitted within 3 months of reviewers receiving review copies of publications, preferably as an email attachment. All reviews must be letter-quality printed or typed, double-spaced, with ample margins.
Send to Allan Beveridge or Gayle Davis (at the addresses below), with a statement of the review's word length, including endnotes and references. Neither the editors (on behalf of History of Psychiatry) nor the publisher accept responsibility for the views of reviewers as presented in their contributions. Reviewers should not submit reviews that have been published or are under consideration for publication elsewhere. Confirmation of the review's originality and unpublished nature will be required in the form of a publishing agreement or copyright assignment, which the reviewer will be asked to complete and post to the publisher (Sage). Publication of the review is subject to signature of this publishing agreement. The editors hope to publish reviews as soon as possible after accepting them. However, publication of a review in any specific issue of the journal cannot be guaranteed. The review editors reserve the right to make minor editorial changes to the submitted text, but substantive alterations will be made only in consultation with the reviewer. Proofs of reviews (as PDF files) will be supplied to reviewers for checking.
