Anxiety Disorder Research

We welcome you to Anxiety Disorder Research. We are building an internationally diverse board that reflects the range of research, approaches, and other aspects of the field. As a member of the Editorial Board, we ask you to agree to the following duties and responsibilities.

Peer Review

• Suggest potential peer reviewers when requested by an editor-in-chief or deputy editor for approximately 3-5 manuscripts per year. The journal does not maintain a fixed pool of dedicated reviewers, so reviewers may also be selected from outside the Japanese Society of Anxiety and Related Disorders (JSARD).

Strategy and Editorial Development

• Understand and help implement the journal’s aims, ambitions, and ethos.
• Attend Editorial Board meetings if and when possible.
• Contribute to strategic discussions about the journal’s future.

Advocacy

Where relevant and appropriate:

• Encourage researchers of appropriate work to submit manuscripts to the journal.
• Mention, support, and promote the journal to interested colleagues, at conferences you attend, and in other relevant circumstances.
• Link to the journal’s web page from your own or other suitable web page to help raise awareness of the journal and enhance its reputation.

Publication Ethics

• Adhere to the policies and procedures laid out in the journal’s Instructions to Authors, Guide to Reviewers, as well as the Committee for Publication Ethics(COPE) .
• Declare any potential competing interest to the editor-in-chief or deputy editor.
• Maintain the confidentiality of reviewer identity, journal communications, financial, and other sensitive information at all times.
