Author Guidelines

1. General requirements.

1.1. Admission of articles by the Journal and the subsequent interactions between authors and the editorial office is carried out exclusively via the Journal’s Internet site at http://rpj.serbsky.ru

1.2. Prior to sending us your file, it is obligatory for the user to be registered not just as a reader, but also as an author.

1.4. When registering a Submission, one should specify the author who would be responsible for contacting the editorial office. Phone number and e-mail should obligatorily be specified.  

1.5. When registering authors, we do not recommend using the same e-mail address for more than one person, as this would interfere with identifying authors in the Journal’s website database.  

1.6. While registering a scientific Submission, one may attach files containing additional materials (cover letters, figures, PPTs, videos, etc.).

1.7. Consultations on preparing the manuscript, illustrations, and using the Journal’s website are offered to authors in person at the editorial office every Friday in accordance with preliminary scheduling.  

1.8. The editorial office is located at: 119034, Moscow, Kropotkinsky per., 23, V. Serbsky NMRCPN of the Ministry of Health of Russia. The editorial office of the Russian Journal of Psychiatry.

1.9. The Journal’s e-mail: rpj@serbsky.ru

1.10. Articles, not prepared in accordance with these rules, would not be considered, and a notice to that effect would be sent to authors, informing them of the formal reasons for rejecting their manuscripts.

1.11. No fee is charged for publishing manuscripts. This condition presumes that the material, submitted to the Journal for publication, is of high content quality, and has been carefully considered and subjected to preliminary discussion within the respective research teams.

1.12. When uploading the manuscript file, authors agree to all conditions of publication and requirements, pertaining to the preparation of Submissions. As manuscripts are submitted to the peer-reviewed Journal, they should meet the requirements of blind peer-review quality control. In case negative reviews are returned, and substantiation for reviewer’s opinion provided, authors would receive the notification, informing them of the reasons for rejecting their manuscript. The detailed description of the peer review procedure is available at the Journal’s website.

1.13. The corresponding author would be notified of the fact of the manuscript being accepted for publication.  

1.14. In the course of preparing manuscripts for publication we carry out their scientific and literary editing. Whenever necessary, the editorial office may ask authors to provide the e-version of the summary of primary data from their research work, the methods used in generalizing and calculating results. This is intended to ensure the high quality of the scientific product, envisioned by the Editorial Charter of the Russian Journal of Psychiatry.

1.15. Corresponding authors would be obliged to participate in the process of preparing manuscripts for publication and the timely resolution of issues that emerge in the course of the editorial and publishing process. Corresponding author’s declining to participate in the process of preparing their manuscripts for publication may cause stalling the work on the manuscript and its elimination from the planned publication, of which authors would be notified.

Should significant portions of borrowings be identified (in excess of 10% of the total file), the manuscript would be returned to its authors for revision. It is unacceptable to borrow portions of one’s own previous publications – this would be seen as self-plagiarizing. Data of one’s own research work, which had already been published previously, may be used again – but in a new interpretation and in a new format. For instance, data which had previously been presented as original research, may only be presented again as a part of a scientific review. Referencing the source would be obligatory.

1.18. The editorial office has the authority to rescind an article after its publication should it become aware of copyright infringement or violation of the generally accepted norms of science ethics. The editorial office would bring such rescinding to the attention of the author who had submitted the article, the reviewer, and the Head of the organization which was listed as supporting the submission of the manuscript.

4.5. Original submissions should contain the following rubrics: “Introduction”, “Subjects and methods”, “Results”, “Discussion” (or “Results and discussion”), “Conclusion”.

For all other publication formats authors are expected to define the rubrics themselves. Rubric titles should be typed without indenting, boldface, no quotation marks.  

4.6. Introductory part of an article should contain a brief description of the topicality of your research and should specify the objective of the paper (study).

4.7. The section titled “Subjects and methods” should give details of how your study was organized, which units were subject to observation, who participated in research, general description of the research sample, also indicating where, when, and how was it formed; provide substantiation for the number of units, subject to observation. When utilizing a particular research method, one should obligatorily reference the publication in which that particular method is elucidated. In cases when authors utilize their own method or inventory, the latter should be submitted as appendix to the manuscript (and will be published in either the printed version or at the Journal’s website as an appendix to the e-version of the article).

 It is obligatory that one should submit the description of statistical methods of research, tests and criteria used, local statistical programs and information resources.  

If your research involved human subjects of observation or experiment, you should give the description of the ethical aspect of your scientific work (informed consent, approval by the local ethics committee – also specifying the registration number of the minutes of that committee’s meeting and the date of the latter).

After specifying the objective of a scientific review, one should briefly describe the methodological issues (which informational resources and library catalogues have been utilized, search words and phrases, number of publications returned by search engine, publication inclusion/exclusion criteria).

4.8. Conclusion is an important part of a scientific publication, in which one should be brief and to the point in providing a description of what had been obtained in respect of the objective pursued. One should put forward the results obtained, also elucidating their contribution to the resolution of the problem, pointing out the novelty of obtained results, possibilities for application, feasible efficaciousness in terms of implementing them in science and in medical practice. The volume of Conclusion should equal 1 page (2000 characters).

All data should be entered for each author separately: last name, first name, patronymic, academic degree, academic title, position, organizational affiliation, author’s email, scientific citation indices (RSCI, Web of Science, Scopus, ORCID). Repeat in Russian and English. (This is requisite for purposes of indexing on the Journal’s website.)

Information about authors is followed by the rubric titled “Conflict of interest and source of funding information”. Authors should disclose potential or present conflicts of interest, linked to the manuscript. One should specify the source of funding both for the scientific work and for the process of publishing the article (endowment, business or non-profit public organization, private individual, etc.). It is not requisite to specify the amount of funding.

• Sample can be seen on the Journal’s website.

4.10. Boldface and italics should be used in the text for emphasis. One should not increase space between letters or underline words.   

4.11. Manuscripts should not contain repetitions of one and the same text. Data summaries should be collated in text, tables, or figures. One should obligatorily submit the analytic results and the comparison data using statistical methods. In the rubric “Discussion” you should compare the results of your scientific work to the data obtained by other researchers.  

5. Preparing the illustrative materials.

5.1. Illustrations should be black and white, or shades of gray with at least a 20% difference between shades. For purposes of publication we accept illustrations in the form of two-dimensional (not 3D) images.

5.2. The size of images in the submitted file should be the same as their final physical size to be printed in the Journal and should extend at least 80 mm horizontally (the width of one column of an article), with resolution of at least 300 dpi. Screenshots are not accepted for processing. Illustrations of one and the same type should also be of the same size, scale, and mode of presenting data. Font no smaller than 10 points should be used for legends and axes on figures.

5.3. When borrowing illustrative material, authors would have the obligation to furnish the Editorial office with the copyright holder’s permission to publish the work and translate the illustrative material data for purposes of presenting them in the Journal, also referencing the publication. Otherwise this would be seen as a case of illicit borrowing (plagiarism). Captions on the illustrative material, borrowed from foreign sources, should be translated into Russian.

5.4. References to all illustrative materials should be contained in the text. References to illustrative material should be enclosed in parentheses, e.g., (Fig. 1), (Table 1). Numbering for each separate type of illustrative material should be done separately. Even if your manuscript contains just one Figure and one Table, these should be numbered separately as Fig. 1; Table 1.

5.5. Illustrative materials (figures, photos, tables, graphics) should be placed in the text of the manuscript after the paragraph containing the first reference to illustrative material and before the next paragraph. We strongly recommend that each illustrative material should additionally be submitted as a separate file in an editable format. 

5.6. A caption is to be placed immediately beneath a figure. It should start with the word “Figure” followed by its number, and then – the title of the Figure (at the end of a caption one should put a full stop). Sample figures can be seen on the Journal’s website.

5.7. Titles of tables should be placed above tables without paragraph indent. Title should start with the word “Table”, followed by its number, and then – the title of the Table (full stop should not be put at the end of the title). Only generally accepted acronyms are acceptable as part of a Table title (e.g., EEG, EKG). Sample tables can be seen on the Journal’s website.

5.8. We recommend aiming to simplify the information presented via illustrative materials. Captions on illustrative material should be concise and arranged horizontally. Long-worded captions on illustrative materials proper should be presented in an abbreviated form, then one would present their full text in the caption underneath the illustrative material.

5.9. Illustrative material which contains data, should specify the names of scales and the units of measurement. We recommend that the structure of a phenomenon be represented by pie charts, the frequency characteristics – by vertical bars, dynamic changes over time – by line charts, the measures of central tendency and their confidence intervals – by bar boxes, and the correlation between variables should be demonstrated by scatter plots.

5.10. Quantitative material, as a rule, is presented in tables to improve clarity and convenience of comparing data. Tables should not have empty cells (or if they do, this should be explained in comments to the table).

If your sample size is greater than 100, you should give percentages with just one number following the point. If sample size is less than 100, you should give percentages as integers. If your sample size is less than 20, you should opt for giving the obtained numerical data rather than percentages.

5.11. Text distributed across the cells of a table should be labeled as an “Information block”. It should be referenced in the text as an abbreviation – “info-block” (numbered accordingly).

5.12. Illustrations (figures, tables, flow charts, blocks of information) are of auxiliary nature for aiding the comprehension of the information offered. Their number should be sufficient for purposes of clarifying the submitted text, but they should not overcrowd it. Information should not be needlessly reiterated (for instance, the same data should not be presented both in a table format and as a figure, or both in the text and in the illustrative material, etc.).

6. Description of medication and its use. Terminology.  

6.1. One should only use the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) for medication and the meticulously verified dosages. Treatment schedules must correspond to recommendations given in the Instructions for Use of the medication.

6.2. Should your research involve alternate treatment schedules and medication dosages, these must be appropriately approved by the Registering Authority, whose permission would then be cited in the “Subjects and methods” section.  

6.3. Terms used in your scientific report should correspond to the specialty field. Brief scientific definitions should be provided for rarely used concepts. Terms should be checked in the “Encyclopedic dictionary of medical terms” (Publishers: Soviet Encyclopedia, 1984). We do not recommend the use of terms which are direct loans from other languages.

7. Bibliographic references.

7.1. Bibliographic references in the body of an article should be given as numbers enclosed in square brackets in accordance with the article’s list of references, in which sources are to be listed in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. References should not include unpublished works, textbooks, tutorials, dictionaries or encyclopedias. When referencing a dissertation, only the official author’s synopsis of the work should be referenced. It is the authors’ responsibility to ensure the accuracy of data included in the list of references.

7.2. We recommend including only the scientific sources from the most recent decade into the bibliography. References to normative-regulative and legislative documents should be given in the text of the manuscript.  

7.3. The proportion of references to the publications by the article’s author (self-referencing to one’s own works) should not exceed 10% of all literature referenced.  

7.4. When submitting articles for publication in the scientific periodicals, which are linked to international databases, authors are expected to supply 2 lists of referenced sources: “Literatura” (all publications in Russian (Russian words typed in Cyrillic, foreign ones – in the original language) and “References” (Russian words transliterated when there is no English title; foreign titles should be listed in the original language).
