81<p>The<em> International Body  Psychotherapy Journal </em>(IBPJ) is a peer-reviewed journal jointly published  by the European Association for Body Psychotherapy and the United States  Association for Body Psychotherapy. The Journal&rsquo;s aim  is to offer a publication of excellent articles  that stimulate an exchange of ideas by promoting the theory, practice, and research in somatic psychology and body psychotherapy.</p>
82    <p>In  addition to publishing articles by authors from the somatic psychotherapy community, the Journal  invites contributions from a range of disciplines such as psychology, sociology, neuroscience, and  other behavioral sciences, as well as medical and health  professions in order to aptly reflect the interdisciplinary aspects of somatic  psychology.</p>
83    <p>The  Journal is an Open Access publication. Full issues and .pdfs of individual  articles are freely available on the IBPJ website. We do not charge fees to  authors. IBPJ publishes Open Access in order to broaden the dissemination of  quality-controlled, peer-reviewed articles on body psychotherapy. </p>
84    <p><strong>Initial submissions</strong>&nbsp;should  be&nbsp;emailed to the Editorial Team  - <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> - as a <em>Microsoft Word</em>&nbsp;attachment.</p>
85<p>When an article is received by the IBPJ, it is first previewed by the <a href="management.php">Editorial Team</a> and anonymized before it is sent out for consideration by three peer reviewers chosen for their particular and relevant expertise. The reviewers are given three weeks to complete their referee sheets and are asked to respond as soon as possible with their availability and interest. Additional reviewers may be selected as necessary. When all the reviews are received, they are then surveyed, anonymized, and collated by the Editorial Team for clarity.</p>
86<p>Please allow for a total turnaround time of six weeks. You will then hear from the <a href="management.php">Editorial Team</a> and be asked to revise your article per her directions and the constructive comments provided by our reviewers. The revision period should take one to three months as specified by the constraints of our publication deadlines. When this finalized version has been received, it will be copy edited for language and returned to you for final examination within the month before it is laid out. A .pdf copy of the laid out article will be provided and should be proofed one last time before that issue of the IBPJ is sent to the printer. No additional corrections may be made after these final examinations.</p>

88    <h2 id="cfa">Criteria for Acceptance</h2>
89    <p>Types of  articles that are considered for the Journal include the following: original  research articles, research reports, review articles, new methodologies,  theoretical articles, and letters to the editor. A descriptive list is at the  end of this document. Submission of an article to the <em>International Body  Psychotherapy Journal</em> represents certification on the part of the author  that it has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Once an  article is submitted, the editor-in-chief will review for the following: </p>
90    <ul type="disc">
91      <li>Does the manuscript inform       the field and add to the body of knowledge?</li>
92      <li>If it is a familiar topic,       is there some unique perspective that enhances existing knowledge of the       topic? </li>
93      <li>Is the manuscript respectful       toward other modalities or parts of the field?</li>
94      <li>Do the       findings/results/conclusions answer the research question or respond to       the main thesis of the manuscript? </li>
95      <li>Has the author explored all       angles of bias to avoid findings and results that allude to something       other than 
95it purports to be? </li>
96      <li>Are there considerations       given for further similar studies based on the results of the study, or       are there further questions to consider? </li>
97    </ul>
98    <h3>Acceptance, Revision, or Rejection?</h3>
99    <p>If the article  is deemed appropriate by the editor-in-chief, the article will then be sent to  peer review, and the submission will be reviewed by three peer reviewers.  Authors will receive collated, anonymized feedback within two months based on  the following:</p>
100    <ul>
101      <li>Accept the article as it is.</li>
102    </ul>
103    <ul type="disc">
104      <li>Accept the article with the       provision that the author make minor revisions following the reviewers'       and editor's comments. The author will then resubmit the manuscript with       revisions and will undergo a second review.</li>
105      <li>Ask the author to       substantially revise&nbsp;and resubmit the article. The author will then       resubmit the manuscript with substantial revisions and will undergo a       second review.</li>
106      <li>Reject the article if there       article is not deemed by two or more reviewers to make a relevant       contribution to our field or otherwise fails to meet our standards of       quality. If it is felt to be suitable for another publication, we will       suggest where else the author might submit it. </li>
107    </ul>
108    <p>Please note  that if the manuscript is returned for revisions, it is considered a viable  contribution to the Journal<em>. This is not  a rejection</em>. You are strongly encouraged to utilize the reviewers&rsquo; feedback  and to return the revised manuscript as soon as possible in order to keep the  editing and publishing process in flow. A revised manuscript should be returned  in one to three months, as per the editor-in-chief&rsquo;s request, Thereafter, it is  reviewed for clarity and consistency of language by the editorial staff and given  to the author for final proofing.

166    <h2 id="sta">Suggested Types of Articles</h2>
167    <h3>Original  Research Articles</h3>
168    <p>Original  research articles describe the hypothesis, a brief review of supportive  literature, methods, and conclusions. The study results are reported and  interpreted with implications for clinical use and recommendations for future  studies. Original research articles also discuss results that allow for  hypothesis elimination or reformulation, as well as report on the replication  of previously published results.&nbsp;</p>
169    <p>Original research trials include issues related to the  design and development of clinical trials (such as ethical considerations,  study designs, measurements of outcome, and methods of analysis) or the results  of clinical trials (including pilot, proof-of-concept, safety, and efficacy  trials). The results of the research is reported, interpreted, and may include  a discussion of possible implications. <br>
170      The International Body Psychotherapy Journal accepts  quantitative, qualitative and mixed-method studies. </p>
171    <h3>Quantitative Research: </h3>
172    <ol type="a">
173      <li>empirical  studies (without topic restrictions e.g., somatic psychology, psychopathology,  education, pre- and peri-natal psychology, mindfulness )</li>
174      <li>pilot studies</li>
175      <li>clinical  trials</li>
176      <li>experimental  studies</li>
177      <li>correlational  studies</li>
178      <li>preventative  studies</li>
179      <li>meta-analysis</li>
180      <li>replication  studies whether successful or failed, applied or fundamental, as long as  appropriately powered</li>
181    </ol>
182    <h3>Qualitative Research:</h3>
183    <ol type="a">
184      <li>clinical case studies </li>
185      <li>phenomenological studies</li>
186      <li>grounded theory</li>
187      <li>ethnographies</li>
188      <li>artistic research </li>
189    </ol>
190    <h3>New  Methodologies </h3>
191    <p>A methods  article presents a cutting-edge technique that opens new avenues for  experimental investigation of important issues in a field. Method manuscripts  should include in the form of a brief statement: the experimental objectives,  the limitations of current techniques, and a detailed protocol of the new  technique. In addition, there should be data to demonstrate the power of the  technique.&nbsp;Both quantitative and qualitative  original methodologies are invited. </p>
192    <h3>Theoretical  Articles </h3>
193    <p>A theoretical  article presents an argument, synthesis, hypothesis, or theory that is based in  the extant literature of somatic psychology. Theoretical articles should be  closely tied to empirical data and provide novel insights into a significant  question or issue. In addition, the argument or theory put forth should lead to  testable predictions.</p>
194    <h3>Review  Articles </h3>
195    <p>Review  articles cover topics that have seen significant development or progress of  somatic psychology in recent years with comprehensive depth, balanced  perspective, intellectual insight, and broad general interest. Reviews do n
195ot  merely recap the literature, they critique fundamental concepts, issues, and  problems that define the field. </p>
196    <ol type="a">
197      <li>general reviews <br>
198        provide a  synthesis of an area of study involving body psychotherapy; systematic reviews  and meta-analyses are preferred</li>
199      <li>critiques <br>
200        are focused  and provocative, followed by a number of invited commentaries, and conclude  with a remark from the main author</li>
201      <li>viewpoint  articles <br>
202        contain  research-based commentary, preferably on   currently relevant issues; the article should be based on a succinct and  balanced summary of existing research on the issue</li>
203      <li>conceptual  papers </li>
204    </ol>
205    <div class="top"><a href="#top">Back to top</a></div>
206    <h3>Perspective and Opinion Articles</h3>
207    <p>A  perspective article presents a viewpoint on an important area of research. A  perspective article focuses on a specific field or subfield and discusses  current advances and future directions; it may add personal insight and opinion  to a field.</p>
208    <p>Opinion  articles allow researchers to publish their opinions on the interpretation of  facts, value of methods used, weaknesses and strengths of any scientific  theory, or any topic relevant to the field of research. Opinion articles allow  maximum freedom of expression for researchers.</p>
209    <ol type="a">
210      <li>Literature reviews</li>
211      <li>Reviews of previous studies</li>
212      <li>Op/Ed (which should go with letters to the  editor)</li>
213      <li>Science-based  practitioner reports of interest</li>
214      <li>Professional  interests, such as education, licensing, and training issues</li>
