(literature reviews: consulted databases, number of articles found, number of articles included, inclusion and exclusion criteria, meta-analysis or descriptive work; original articles: study design, number of subjects included, study duration, etc.); (iii) What are the key findings?; and (iv) What significance do your results have for the field and for the broader community?
The abstract must not exceed 200 words and should be structured as follows: Background, Objectives, Methods, Results, and Discussion/Conclusion.

Ethics
Submissions reporting results from human studies must have been approved by a competent review board to certify that the study has been conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and its latest revision. Studies with human volunteers must have obtained informed consent from all participants and this should be stated in the Methods section of the manuscript.

Peer review
Upon receipt, manuscripts are evaluated by the journal editor and/or assistant editors for their originality, structure, and relevance of contents and conclusions. Manuscripts with insufficient quality or priority for publication are promptly rejected at this point.
After the initial evaluation, submissions are forwarded to an area editor according to their field of knowledge. The area editor then assigns at least two independent reviewers for the submission. In special cases, the area editor may increase or decrease the number of reviews or make a recommendation to the Editor-in-chief based on his own appraisal of the submission. Once all reviews have been received, the area editor makes a recommendation to the editor-in-chief. The area editors’ recommendations are standardized and include the options “Accept”, “Reject”, Minor Review”, and “Major Review”. The editor-in-chief receives the recommendation and has the last word on all submissions.
Copyright Notice: Once accepted for publication, the manuscript becomes permanent property of the Archives of Clinical Psychiatry. This copyright transfer subsumes exclusive and unlimited entitlement of the Archives of Clinical Psychiatry to publish and distribute the full contents of articles in whichever publishing medium, including press and electronic media, in Brazil and abroad.
