Manuscripts which are returned to the authors for revision should be sent back within 30 days; otherwise they will be considered withdrawn.

Papers that do not conform to the journal norms may be returned to the authors for revision before being considered for publication. The author is responsible for the accuracy of the references.

Authors may submit: full-length original articles, brief communications, reviews, and editorials. Reviews and Editorials are mainly by invitation. Authors wishing to submit a Review or Editorial may do so after prior consultation with the Editors-in-Chief or an Associate Editor. Brief Communications (see formatting and editorial requirements, below) are given priority in the publication schedule.

All manuscripts are peer-reviewed and are subject to copy editing. It is a pre-requisite for publication that a manuscript be written in clear, grammatically correct English.

Types of Papers

Full-length Original ArticlesThere is no length limit or restriction on the number of illustrations/tables for full-length articles. However, authors are encouraged to avoid lengthy Introduction and Discussion sections. Original Articles should include the following sections after the title page and abstract: Introduction, Materials and Methods (subheadings allowed), Results (subheadings allowed), Discussion (subheadings allowed), Acknowledgements, References, Tables, Figure legends, and Appendices (if needed).

Brief CommunicationsThis article type enables authors to communicate interesting findings of their on going research to be published quickly. Brief communications should be a maximum of 10000 characters (including spaces and covering all sections, including references) and should include maximally two illustrations/tables. Brief communications should be organized to be as concise as possible. As guideline, the Introduction should be 250-500 words, and detailed Materials and Methods can be provided as electronic supplementary material. The Results and Discussion may be combined at the authors’ discretion into a single section. Brief Communications are not to be submitted for publication elsewhere as part of a full paper.

ReviewsThis article type will appear on an irregular basis in keeping with submissions. Although reviews are generally by invitation only, all such submissions will undergo peer-review. Authors interested in submitting a review should contact an Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editor directly before uploading their manuscript.There is no length limit or restriction on the number of illustrations/tables for Reviews. Aside from the title page and Abstract, there are no strict formatting requirements for Reviews.

EditorialsThis article type will appear on an irregular basis and are generally by invitation only. Propositions for this category will undergo editorial and, if required, scientific peer review and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Editors of Brain Topography. Another form of Editorial will include submissions on important and controversial subjects in the field, which will in general be invited, though under exceptional circumstances unsolicited submissions will also be considered. Authors preparing an Editorial should contact an Editor-in-Chief directly before uploading their materials.There is no length limit or restriction on the number of illustrations/tables for Editorials. Aside from the title page and Abstract, there are no strict formatting requirements for Editorials.

Text

Text Formatting

Manuscripts should be submitted in Word.

Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.

Use italics for emphasis.

Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.

Do not use field functions.

Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.

Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.

Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.

Save your file in docx format (Word 2007 or higher) or doc format (older Word versions).

Manuscripts with mathematical content can also be submitted in LaTeX.

LaTeX macro package (Download zip, 188 kB)

Headings

Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.

Footnotes

Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.

Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.

Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.

Appendix

If there is more than one appendix, they should be numbered consecutively.

Equations in appendices should be designated differently from those in the main body of the paper, e.g. (A1), (A2) etc. In each appendix equations should be numbered separately.

Please note:

Pages must be numbered in all submitted manuscripts.

References such as “personal communications” or “unpublished data” cannot be included in the reference list, but should be mentioned in the text in parentheses: this also applies to papers presented at meetings but not yet published or accepted for publication. A date should be given for both “personal communications” and “unpublished data”.

Papers which have been accepted for publication should be included in the list of references with the name of the journal and “in press”.

References

Citation

Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:

Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).

This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman (1996).

This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995a, b; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1999, 2000).

Reference list

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text.

Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. Please alphabetize according to the following rules: 1) For one author, by name of author, then chronologically; 2) For two authors, by name of author, then name of coauthor, then chronologically; 3) For more than two authors, by name of first author, then chronologically.

If available, please always include DOIs as full DOI links in your reference list (e.g. “https://doi.org/abc”).

Tables

All tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals.

Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order.

For each table, please supply a table caption (title) explaining the components of the table.

Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table caption.

Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body.
