AUTHOR GUIDELINES
1. SUBMISSION
Authors should kindly note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
New submissions should be made via the Research Exchange submission portal: https://wiley.atyponrex.com/journal/AJMB. Should your manuscript proceed to the revision stage, you will be directed to make your revisions via the same submission portal. You may check the status of your submission at anytime by logging on to submission.wiley.com and clicking the “My Submissions” button. For technical help with the submission system, please review our FAQs or contact submissionhelp@wiley.com.

2. AIMS AND SCOPE
europsychiatric Genetics, Part B of the American Journal of Medical Genetics (AJMG), provides a forum for experimental and clinical investigations of the genetic, epigenetic, and protein signaling mechanisms underlying neurologic and psychiatric disorders. It is a resource for novel genetics studies of the heritable nature of psychiatric and other nervous system disorders, characterized at the molecular, cellular, or behavioral levels. Neuropsychiatric Genetics publishes eight times per year.
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Manuscripts must be submitted in grammatically correct English. Manuscripts that do not meet this standard cannot be reviewed. Authors for whom English is a second language may wish to consult an English-speaking colleague or consider having their manuscript professionally edited before submission to improve the English. A list of independent suppliers of editing services can be found at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/english_language.asp. All services are paid for and arranged by the author, and use of one of these services does not guarantee acceptance or preference for publication. A manuscript is considered for review and possible publication on the condition that it is submitted solely to Neuropsychiatric Genetics, and that the manuscript or a substantial portion of it is not under consideration elsewhere.
Novel nucleotide sequence data including genetic mutations must be submitted to a public database prior to publication. See the “Sequence Data” section, below.
Editorial Features
Research Articles. Reports of novel research on the genetic mechanisms underlying psychiatric and neurological disorders. An Abstract, Materials, Methods, and Results sections are required. There are no restrictions on the number of pages or figures.
Review Articles review a specific field through an appropriate literature survey. An Abstract is required. Materials and Methods and Results sections are not required. Although there are no restrictions on the number of pages or figures, the Review should be concise as possible.
Editorials (on general matters) and (invited) Editorial Comments. Although Editorials are usually on a matter published in the same issue of the journal, speculative discussions, and proposals of hypotheses amenable for testing may also be submitted for consideration. Editorials should be accompanied by a list of key words for indexing purposes; if necessary, additional words can be circled on page proofs for that purpose. Speculative discussions, and proposals of hypotheses amenable for testing may be submitted for consideration.
Letters to the Editor are welcomed from all scientists who wish to comment on papers previously published in Neuropsychiatric Genetics. Letters to the Editor represent the personal opinions of the authors, and do not necessarily reflect those of the Editor or the Publisher. Space limitations do not enable the journal to publish all letters received; submissions may be altered for space and clarity.
