Scope and Policy of Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology
Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, the official journal of the National Academy of Neuropsychology, publishes original contributions dealing with psychological aspects of the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders arising out of dysfunction of the central nervous system.
The journal will also consider manuscripts involving the established principles of the profession of Neuropsychology: (a) delivery and evaluation of services, (b) ethical and legal issues, (c) approaches to education and training.
Preference will be given to empirical reports and key reviews. Brief research reports and commentaries on published articles will also be considered. At the discretion of the editor, rebuttals to commentaries may be in invited. Occasional papers of a theoretical nature will be considered.
The primary criterion for acceptance is scientific quality. Papers should avoid excessive use of abbreviations or jargon and should be intelligible to as wide an audience as possible. Particular attention should be paid to the Abstract, Introduction, and Discussion sections, which should clearly draw attention to the novelty and significance of the data reported. Failure to do this may result in delays in publication or rejection of the paper.
