Where do I submit a Behavioral Medicine manuscript?

Through the journal's own submission system. The address is in the Submission row of the Structure at a Glance table on this page. SciSpace does not submit for you.

How do I use the Behavioral Medicine template in SciSpace?

Click Start Writing, add your topic and article type to the prompt, review the draft against the rules on this page, then export and submit through the journal's portal.

Can I submit to Behavioral Medicine and another journal at the same time?

No. Journals, Behavioral Medicine included, expect a manuscript to be under review at one journal at a time. Wait for the decision or withdraw formally before you submit elsewhere.

What should my data availability statement say for Behavioral Medicine?

Say where readers can find the data behind your results: a repository with a DOI, supplementary files, or the reason the data cannot be shared. Check the Behavioral Medicine author guide for any required wording.

How do I know my paper fits Behavioral Medicine?

Read the Behavioral Medicine aims and scope and skim two or three recent articles. If your question, methods, and audience match what the journal publishes, you are in the right place.

What belongs in supplementary material?

Large datasets, extended tables, extra figures, code, and detailed protocols. Reference each file in the main text, and keep the core Behavioral Medicine manuscript readable without them.

How to Use the Behavioral Medicine Template | A Step-by-Step Guide

Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 28 September, 2026

Use this Behavioral Medicine template when the manuscript has to match that journal before you upload it. Check the current rules on the Behavioral Medicine journal page.

What is the Behavioral Medicine Template?

It is the writing shell for Behavioral Medicine: title and authors, the abstract, the body, declarations, figures, and the reference list. The limits that decide a desk reject are on the journal page linked above.

What's actually in a Behavioral Medicine submission:

A Behavioral Medicine submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, an abstract of up to 450 words, keywords, the main text for your article type, declarations, the reference list, and figures and tables.

What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:

An abstract that breaks the rule (an abstract of up to 450 words).
References that do not follow the stated style: APA reference style.
The wrong number or kind of keywords (4–6 keywords).
Author names or affiliations left in a file meant for double-anonymized review.
A missing declaration: ethics approval, competing interests, funding, or data availability.

Read the full rules on the journal page linked above before you upload.

What does this Behavioral Medicine Template include?

The sections a Behavioral Medicine submission is built from, in order: title page, abstract, keywords, main text, declarations, references, figures, and tables. It does not replace the journal's own checklist.

Quick Tips for Using the Behavioral Medicine Template

Write the abstract last and count it. Behavioral Medicine asks for an abstract of up to 450 words.
Remove author names, affiliations, and self-identifying acknowledgements from the main file for double-anonymized review.
Choose keywords to the rule: 4–6 keywords.
Keep declarations with the manuscript, not in a separate note you might forget to upload.

Best Practices

Open the author guide once before you draft and once before you upload. Match a recent Behavioral Medicine paper for depth, headings, and figure style.

Before You Submit: Final Check

The abstract meets the rule (an abstract of up to 450 words).
The reference style matches the author guide, and every citation has a matching entry.
The keywords follow the stated count.
The main file is anonymized.
Declarations are included: ethics, competing interests, funding, and data availability.
Figures are publication-ready and cited in order.

Then submit on the journal's portal, not from this page.
