Aims & scope
New information on psychiatric disability, rehabilitation, community supports, and recovery is increasing rapidly. The American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation maintains a goal of sharing important new developments with all persons invested in these topics in a timely and informative way. The American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation is written for researchers and for providers who offer rehabilitation services and community supports, as well as for persons in recovery. It is for family members and others who care about persons with psychiatric disabilities. Finally, it is for advocates looking for a forum to express their vision. The journal also offers key reading for policy makers and administrators to provide them with guidance in their planning for future system and program development.  
The American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation features original research articles on psychiatric rehabilitation and recovery. As a recovery-oriented venue, only manuscripts that use person-first language will be considered. Descriptions of practice-based evidence are as welcome as reports of evidence-based practices. In addition, theoretical papers, reviews, and commentaries are encouraged if they contribute substantially to current knowledge. Reports of innovative ways to reduce barriers and promote access to, and retention in, care and to identify and eliminate health disparities are especially encouraged. Given that psychiatric rehabilitation is a multi-faceted concept, paper topics may include, but are not limited to:
  • rehabilitation interventions and community-based supports
  • consumer-operated services and peer support
  • stigma and discrimination and their elimination
  • recovery, empowerment, and social inclusion
  • strengths, goals, and needs assessments
  • public policy
  • integration with criminal justice and primary health care systems
  • staff training and team development

Peer Review Policy
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening, anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees, and consequent revision by article authors when required. The published article constitutes the final, definitive, and citable Version of Scholarly Record.

Author Guidelines
General Submission Guidelines
All articles should be submitted through the American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation online portal, available at www.editorialmanager.com/p-rehab/default.aspx
Direct email submissions are not accepted.
Manuscripts should be prepared according to the most recent edition of the American Psychological Association’s Publication Manual. Please include an abstract of up to 150 words and between four and ten keywords. 
Manuscripts should be submitted as Microsoft Word (.docx) files, free of identifying names or references to the author(s). Please make sure major elements (titles, author names, epigraphs, headings, block quotes, endnotes, etc.) stand out visually from one another. For example, a block quote shouldn’t be formatted with the same margins as the running text, or it will run the risk of being styled incorrectly. In addition, if you use multiple levels of section heads, they should be visually distinct from one another and consistent throughout the manuscript.
 
Tables
Tables should be placed in the Word files in the approximate location the author would like them to appear. Please note that all tables should be composed in Word, using Word’s native table tools, and not set as images. When formatting tables, titles should appear at the top.
 
Citations
Please follow the guidelines set forth in the most recent edition of the American Psychological Association’s Publication Manual.
 
Images
Art should not be placed directly in Word files but submitted separately in a .tif or .jpg format, sequentially numbered (Fig. 1, 2, etc.). Art files should be no less than 300 dpi with the smallest dimension measuring at least four inches (1,200 pixels).
Include captions in the Word file approximately where art is to be placed, or if a piece of art has no captions use a generic call-out instead (e.g., {Fig. 1 Here}). Note that art will not be placed exactly where it is called out in the Word file. When the journal is set the typesetter will place artwork according to design conventions as near the original placement as possible.
If using copyrighted artwork, the author must secure written permission for its reproduction in the American Journal of Psychiatric Rehabilitation, to be submitted in the event of publication.

Libraries face a dilemma: the number of books, journals, and other information resources available to offer to their patrons is growing faster than their acquisitions budgets. Decisions about which new materials to add in a given year are influenced by a number of factors, not the least of which are whether they are aware of the existence of a resource and the value that resource would bring to those who rely on the library. Librarians often appreciate the input of users in gathering the information they need to make those evaluations. There is no one right way to share information about a particular journal with a library. Some institutions have formal procedures for submitting acquisition requests, others rely on regular communication between subject area librarians and the departments they serve, and some have no specifically defined method. You are in the best position to determine the most appropriate method for approaching your library with a request for the addition of a journal to its collection. However, we have developed a library recommendation form as one tool you can use to provide your library with relevant information. The form contains basic information about the journal: a description, its print and electronic ISSNs, frequency of publication, pricing, print and electronic options, and ordering information. It also includes a few questions for you to complete that address your evaluation of the journal's value. If you choose to use the form, fill it out then send it to the appropriate individual at your library. Do not return it to the University of Nebraska Press.
