Guía para autores (en inglés)

Resumen

General guidelines for authors

Your paper must not be submitted to any other journal.

Use the authors´ checklist, download and sign the cover letter that must accompany your submission. Both forms are available at our web page.

When preparing your article, make sure you reviewed pertinent literature published in the Latin American journals specialized on your subject. We openly promote the visibility of research produced in the region.  Examples of Latin American journals that qualify for reference are: Latin American Journal of Behavioral Medicine, Journal of Behavior Health & Social Issues, Mexican Journal of Behavior Analysis, Acta Colombiana de Psicología, Universitas Psychologica, , Revista Mexicana de Investigación en Psicología, Revista Latinoamericana de Psicología, Avances en Psicología Latinoamericana and  Acta Comportamentalia.

At the moment of submission, please send the names and emails of two specialists on the topic of your paper that would consider serving as reviewers for the Latin American Journal of Behavioral Medicine.  These potential reviewers will not judge your own paper, they will help the journal by reviewing other submissions and in this way we will  keep our revision process times to the minimum.

The LJBM will not return submitted manuscripts, make sure you keep a copy for your records.

Send your proposed paper and the additional files (cover letter, figures and tables;  names and email of two potential reviewers in your field of expertise) to Rocio Hernandez-Pozo at: editora@rlmc-mex.org  or  to Malaquías López Cervantes at: mlopez@rlmc-mex.org

Other emails related to the LJBM like: rlmc@conducta-humana.org, rlmc-editores@conducta-humana.org  are for exclusive internal use (peer-reviewers and authors   following the process of a previous submission).

Beginning in September 15, 2010, we will be in conditions to accept proposal submitted via 

the OJS system at http://www.journals.unam.mx/index.php/rlmc, for now this web page is used only for publication of accepted articles and already published numbers of the journal.
