Author Guidelines
1. MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
Please read the complete Author Guidelines carefully, including the section on copyright, before submitting your manuscript. Please note page charges apply if articles are longer than the specified page lengths.
Once you have prepared your submission in accordance with the Guidelines, manuscripts should be submitted online at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/psy.

2. EDITORIAL AND CONTENT CONSIDERATIONS
Aims and scope
Psychogeriatrics is an international journal sponsored by the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society that publishes peer-reviewed original papers dealing with all aspects of psychogeriatrics and related fields. The Journal encourages articles with gerontopsychiatric, neurobiological, genetic, diagnostic, sociopsychiatric, psychological, or psychotherapeutic content, as well as content related to health policy. Themes can be illuminated through basic science, clinical (human and animal) studies, case studies, epidemiological research, and humanistic research.
Editorial review and acceptance
Manuscripts are accepted regardless of whether the author is a member of the Japanese Psychogeriatric Society.
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. The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are single-blind peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers and the editor.
Once contributions have been judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of content, the editor and the publisher reserve the right to modify manuscripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and to improve communication between author and reader. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the editorial board, which reserves the right to refuse any material for publication.
Preprint policy
This journal will consider for review articles previously available as preprints. Authors may also post the submitted version of a manuscript to a preprint server at any time. Authors are requested to update any pre-publication versions with a link to the final published article.

4. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Psychogeriatrics is committed to integrity in scientific research and recognizes the importance of maintaining the highest ethical standards.
Committee on Publication Ethics
The journal is a member of, and subscribes to, the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) (http://publicationethics.org/).
Authorship and acknowledgements
The journal adheres to the definition of authorship established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). The ICMJE recommends that authorship be based on the following four criteria: (i) substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; (ii) drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; (iii) final approval of the version to be published; and (iv) agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved. Contributors who do not qualify as authors should be mentioned under ‘Acknowledgments’.
Declaration of Helsinki
Manuscripts must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the Declaration of Helsinki, available at https://www.wma.net/what-we-do/medical-ethics/declaration-of-helsinki/. The text should also clearly state that all persons gave informed consent before their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under the study should be omitted.
Use of animals in research
Reports of animal experiments must state that the ‘Revised guide for the care and use of laboratory animals’ (NIH Publication Vol 25, No. 28 revised 1996; http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/not96-208.html) were followed and, where applicable, indicate that specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) were followed.
Conflict of interest
Authors must declare any financial support or relationships that may pose conflict of interest. At the time of submission, authors must disclose any financial arrangements with a company whose product figures prominently in the submitted manuscript or with a company making a competing product. Such information will be requested on the ScholarOne submission site and will be included in a Disclosure statement between the Acknowledgments and References sections of their manuscript.
Data Sharing and Data Accessibility
The journal encourages authors to share the data and other artefacts supporting the results in the paper by archiving it in an appropriate public repository. Authors should include a data accessibility statement, including a link to the repository they have used, in order that this statement can be published alongside their paper.
5. PREPARATION OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Article Preparation Support
Wiley Editing Services offers expert help with English Language Editing, as well as translation, manuscript formatting, figure illustration, figure formatting, and graphical abstract design – so you can submit your manuscript with confidence.
Also, check out our resources for Preparing Your Article for general guidance about writing and preparing your manuscript.
Optimizing your article for search engines
Many students and researchers looking for information online will use search engines such as Google or Yahoo. By optimizing your article for search engines, you will increase the chance of someone finding it. In turn, this will make it more likely to be viewed and/or cited in another work. We have compiled these guidelines to enable you to maximize the Web-friendliness of the most public part of your article.
Manuscript format and style
Manuscripts should follow the ICMJE’s Recommendation for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals (formerly known as the ‘Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts’).
Journal style
Spelling. Psychogeriatrics publishes in British English. For word usage and word division, please refer to the latest edition of the Oxford Concise English Dictionary.
Abbreviations. In general, terms should not be abbreviated unless they are used at least three times after the abbreviation is introduced and the abbreviation is helpful to the reader. Initially, use the word in full and present the abbreviation in parentheses after the term. Thereafter, use the abbreviation only.
Quotations. Use single quotation marks for citations (‘‘).
Asterisks. Please note that asterisks must not be used (**).
Units of measurement. All measurements must be given in SI or SI-derived units. Visit the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM) website at https://www.bipm.org/en/about-us/ for more information about SI units.
Trade names. Chemical substances should be referred to by the generic name only. Trade names should not be used. Drugs should be referred to by their generic names. If proprietary drugs have been used in the study, refer to these by their generic name, and in parentheses, mention the proprietary name and the manufacturer’s name and location (city, state, country).
Genetic nomenclature. Standard genetic nomenclature should be used. For further information, including relevant websites, authors should refer to the genetic nomenclature guide in Trends in Genetics (Elsevier Science 1998).
Nucleotide sequence data. Nucleotide sequence data can be submitted in electronic form to any of the three major collaborative databases: DDBJ, EMBL, or GenBank. It is only necessary to submit to one database, as data are exchanged between DDBJ, EMBL, and GenBank on a daily basis. The suggested wording for referring to accession-number information is: ‘These sequence data have been submitted to the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank databases under accession number U12345’. Addresses are as follows:
DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp
EMBL Nucleotide Sequence Submissions http://www.ebi.ac.uk
GenBank http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

The present affiliation of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote.
A statement should be included to indicate to which of the six available fields of the journal - (Clinical and Basic) Pharmacology and Neurochemistry, Dementia Care and Epidemiology, BPSD and Non-pharmacological Therapy, Neuropsychology, Functional Brain Imaging and Physiology, and Others - the manuscript is being submitted. “Others” should be chosen only when the other fields are not suitable.
