Notes for Contributors

The Brain and the Integration of Sciences is an international journal that publishes theoretical and experimental papers on the study of brain-mind relationship. It covers contributions from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, social and anthropological aspects of cognitive science.

Papers are accepted on the understanding that they are subject to editorial revision and that their contents have not been published elsewhere.

Manuscripts should be sent to Professor Michele Trimarchi, B.H.C. – Brain Health Centre - Centre for Neuropsychophysiological study and Research, Via A. Bertoloni, 29 – 00197 Rome, Italy.

To expedite assessment, 2 original manuscripts should be submitted. All submissions should be in the style of the American Psychological Association (Publication Manual, Fourth edition, 1994). Papers should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced (including the references), with margins of at least 2.5 cm (1 inch). The first sheet should include the full title of the paper, a short title not exceeding 55 characters (for a running title at the head of each page), five key words, names of authors and the address where the work was carried out. All pages must be numbered. Significant delays may occur to manuscripts that do not conform to journal style. Each article should be accompanied by an abstract of not more than 200 words. The full postal address of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints should also be included. Footnotes should be avoided where possible.

In order to improve accuracy and expedite publication, authors are requested to submit the final and revised version of their manuscript on disk. The disk should contain the paper saved in its original application software (e.g. WordPerfect or Microsoft Word), and as either Word for Macintosh, rich text format (RTF) if available, or as a text or ASCII (plain) text file. The disk should be clearly labelled with the author(s) name, paper title, file names and the software used. A good quality copy of the manuscript is always required.

References. All publications cited in the text should be listed following the text; similarly, all references listed must be mentioned in the text. Within the text references should be indicated by the author's name and year of publication in parentheses, e.g. (Hellige, 1993) or (Geschwind & Levitski, 1968), or if there are more than two authors (Russo et al., 2000). Where several references are quoted consecutively, or within a single year, within the text the order should be alphabetical. If more than one paper from the same author(s) and year are listed, the date should be followed by (a), (b), etc..

References should be listed alphabetically by author on a separate sheet(s) (double spaced) in the following standard form, capitalisation and punctuation:
