Where do I submit a Behavioral Neuroscience 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 Neuroscience 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 Neuroscience and another journal at the same time?

No. Journals, Behavioral Neuroscience 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 Neuroscience?

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 Neuroscience author guide for any required wording.

How do I know my paper fits Behavioral Neuroscience?

Read the Behavioral Neuroscience 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 Neuroscience manuscript readable without them.

Can I change the author list after submitting?

Usually only with the editor's approval and written agreement from every author. Settle who qualifies as an author, and the order, before you submit.

Do I need a graphical abstract?

Only if the Behavioral Neuroscience author guide asks for one for your article type. If it does, use one readable figure that states the main finding.

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

Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 28 September, 2026

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

What is the Behavioral Neuroscience Template?

It is the writing shell for Behavioral Neuroscience: 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 Neuroscience submission:

A Behavioral Neuroscience submission has a title page with authors and affiliations, an abstract, 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:

References that do not follow the stated style: Vancouver / numbered reference style.
The wrong number or kind of keywords (5–8 keywords).
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 Neuroscience Template include?

The sections a Behavioral Neuroscience 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. The journal also publishes its own template package: official Behavioral Neuroscience template package.
