First-time submitters will need to register for an account. After you follow the link above for the submission page, select “New authors should register for an account.” Note that this account is separate from the account you use to access Psychiatrist.com and CMEInstitute.com, so even if you are already registered to access our sites (which provides the ability to obtain free CME credit), you will still need to establish an account to use the manuscript submission system.

At the time of article submission, each author must submit a form incorporating 4 statements: (1) authorship, (2) copyright transfer or federal employment, and (3) financial or other relationships that might pose a conflict of interest.
