PREPARING FOR SUBMISSION
When submitting a paper, the author should always make a full statement to the editors about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as duplicate publication of the same or very similar work. If accepted the manuscript should not be republished in any other journal without the editors' and publisher's written consent. The manuscript should be accompanied by a covering letter from the corresponding author, stating that the manuscript has been seen and approved by all authors.

SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS

Language
All manuscripts must be in English. Writing should be concise and correct. English or American spelling is accepted if used consistently throughout the manuscript.

Electronic manuscripts 
The editors encourage submission of electronic manuscripts whenever possible. All submissions should be made online at the Cognitive Behaviour Therapy ScholarOne Manuscripts site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.

The electronic manuscript should be accompanied by a covering letter as described above along with a clear indication of the computer platform and version of word processing system used. Please use this simple guideline for preparing your electronic manuscript:

1. Be consistent. The same elements should be keyed in exactly the same way throughout the manuscript.
2. Do not break words at the end of lines. Use a hyphen only to hyphenate compound words.
3. Enter only one space after the full-stop at the end of a sentence.
4. When emphasising words please use the italic feature of your word processor software.
5. Do not justify your text; use a ragged right-hand margin.
6. Use a double hyphen (--) to indicate a dash in text.
7. Do not use the lowercase l for 1 (one) or the uppercase O for 0 (zero).
8. The space bar should only be used as a word separator. Use TAB when identifying paragraphs or separating columns in tables.

Please observe that the Editorial offices and Taylor & Francis can receive files from many word processing systems; however, styled Microsoft Word files are preferred.

Double-space the entire manuscript -- even the reference list -- and leave an all around margin of 1 inch or 2,5 cm. The Title page should include: 1) A brief but informative title, 2) First name, middle initial and surname of each author, 3) institution(s) to which the author(s) are affiliated, 4) full name and address, including telephone, fax and e-mail address, of the corresponding author, 5) word count including number of tables and figures (see below for word equivalent approximations) but excluding title pages and abstract.
Page 2 should carry the title only. Page 3 should include an abstract, not exceeding 250 words, stating the purpose of the study, methods and main results. List up to five key words (avoid words already used in the title).
Organise the Main text under the following headings if possible: Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References.
Figures, figure captions and tables should be printed on separate pages.

• Figures must be saved individually and separate to text. Please do not embed figures in the paper file.
• Avoid the use of colour and tints for purely aesthetic reasons.
• Figures should be produced as near to the finished size as possible.
• All figures must be numbered in the order in which they appear in the paper (e.g. figure 1, figure 2). In multi-part figures, each part should be labelled (e.g. figure 1(a), figure 1(b)).
• Figure captions must be saved separately, as part of the file containing the complete text of the paper, and numbered correspondingly.
• The filename for the graphic should be descriptive of the graphic, e.g. Figure1, Figure2a.
• Files should be saved as one of the following formats: TIFF (tagged image file format), PostScript or EPS (encapsulated PostScript), and should contain all the necessary font information and the source file of the application (e.g. CorelDraw/Mac, CorelDraw/PC).

Please note that it is in the author's interest to provide the highest quality figure format possible. Please do not hesitate to contact our Production Department if you have any queries.

Length of manuscript
Manuscripts for case studies and brief reports should not exceed six double spaced manuscript pages, inclusive of text, references, tables, and figures (approximately 2000 words). Regular articles should not exceed 5500 words. Theoretical and review articles should not exceed 8000 words. As a guideline, tables and figures approximate 150 words of text.
