Information for Authors
The Lancet Psychiatry considers any original research that advocates change in or illuminates clinical practice and informative reviews on any topic connected with psychiatry. Because the journal has an international readership, it is vital that articles should be written clearly and should not assume a level of knowledge above that of, say, a reasonably well-read, general psychiatrist. One way to find out if your article is understandable to those reading outside their immediate field of interest is to show the manuscript to colleagues in other sub-specialties. If they find it difficult to follow, so will a good proportion of the readership. Wherever possible, figures and good quality photographs (colour or black and white) should be used to supplement and to enhance the text. Further details on the different sections of The Lancet Psychiatry, and how to submit to the journal, are provided below. If you require further clarification,the journal’s editorial staff will be pleased to help (email psychiatry@lancet.com).
Manuscripts must be solely the work of the author(s) stated, must not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration by another journal. The Lancet journals are signatories of the Recommendations for the Conduct,Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, issued by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE Recommendations), and of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) code of conduct for editors. We follow COPE’s guidelines
How to submit your paper
Manuscript submission
Manuscript submission to all Lancet journals is free. Manuscripts should be submitted online via the The Lancet Psychiatry’s online submission and peer review website (known as EM) at www. editorialmanager.com/thelancetpsych
• Simply log on to EM and follow the on-screen instructions for all submissions
• If you have not used EM before, you will need to register first. In EM, the corresponding author is the person who enters the manuscript details and uploads the submission files
• Inclusion of illustrations (eg, photographs, graphs, diagrams) is a prerequisite for many publication types. Submission of original and editable artwork files is encouraged. Digital photography files should have a resolution of at least 300 dpi and be at least 107 mm wide. Before and after images should be taken with the same intensity, direction, and colour of light
• In almost all cases, if you have a finished manuscript, you should submit it, rather than contacting The Lancet Psychiatry to enquire whether an unseen manuscript is likely to be accepted. Unless you have been asked by the Editor to submit by email, you should use the online system for all types of submission,including Correspondence

Covering letter
• You should upload your covering letter at the “Enter Comments” stage of the online submission process
• Use the covering letter to explain why your paper should be published in The Lancet Psychiatry rather than elsewhere
• It is helpful to indicate what could shorten your paper—the full paper can be reviewed and a shorter version published; a table or figure, more in-depth technical details, or further references, for example, can be published on our website or made available from the authors Statements, permissions, and signatures Authors and contributors
• Designated authors should meet all four criteria for authorship in the ICMJE Recommendations
• All authors, and all contributors (including medical writers and editors), should specify their individual contributions at the end of the text
• We require that more than one author has verified the underlying data. The contributors statement should state who those authors are.
• We encourage collaboration and coauthorship with colleagues in the locations where the research is conducted
• The Lancet Group takes a neutral position with respect to territorial claims in institutional affiliations
• When choosing coauthors, we ask lead authors to be mindful of the benefits of diversity in authorship and to consider inviting coauthors who reflect diversity in every sense, including (but not limited to) background, career-stage, gender, geography, and race
• The Lancet Psychiatry will not publish any paper unless we have the signatures of all authors
