Introduction
Submission of a paper to Health Psychology Review will be taken to imply that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication, and that if accepted for publication it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in any language, without the consent of the editor and publisher.

Copyright
It is a condition of publication that authors assign copyright or license the publication rights in their articles, including abstracts, to Taylor & Francis. This enables us to ensure full copyright protection and to disseminate the article, and of course the Journal, to the widest possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors retain many rights under the Taylor & Francis rights policies, which can be found at http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/authors_journals_copyright_position~db=all. Authors are themselves responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources.

Submission process
Manuscripts must be submitted by one of the authors of the manuscript. The submitting author is responsible for the article during the submission and peer review process.

To facilitate the review process Health Psychology Review accepts only online submissions. All submissions should be made online at Health Psychology Review's ScholarOne Manuscripts site. New users should first create an account. Once a user is logged onto the site submissions should be made via the Author Centre.

Preparation of manuscripts
Currently, Health Psychology Review can only accept manuscripts written in English. Manuscripts should be double-spaced and should be prepared in accordance with the format and style specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, fifth edition. Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:

Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication and should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers in order of appearance in the text.

Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page, with a short descriptive title typed directly above and with essential footnotes below.

Competing interests
A competing interest exists when your interpretation or presentation of information may be influenced by your personal or financial relationship with other people or organizations. Authors should disclose all financial and non-financial competing interests.

Authors are required to complete a declaration of competing interests and submit it together with the manuscript. All competing interests that are declared will be listed at the end of published articles. Where an author gives no competing interests, the listing will read 'The author(s) declare that they have no competing interests'. Please consider the following questions:

Financial competing interests

• In the past five years have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that may in any way gain or lose financially from the publication of this manuscript, either now or in the future? Is such an organization financing this manuscript? If so, please specify.
• Do you hold any stocks or shares in an organization that may in any way gain or lose financially from the publication of this manuscript, either now or in the future? If so, please specify.
• Do you hold or are you currently applying for any patents relating to the content of the manuscript? Have you received reimbursements, fees, funding, or salary from an organization that holds or has applied for patents relating to the content of the manuscript? If so, please specify.
• Do you have any other financial competing interests? If so, please specify.

If you are unsure as to whether you, or one of your co-authors, has a competing interest please discuss it with the editorial office.

Authors' contributions
All authors are expected to have made substantive intellectual contributions to, and to have been involved in drafting or revising the manuscript. Each author should have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group, alone, does not justify authorship. With the submission of a manuscript, it is assumed that all authors have read and approved the final manuscript.

Acknowledgements
All contributors who do not meet the above criteria for authorship, should be listed in an acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include those who provided general, technical, or writing assistance. Acknowledgement of funding/grants are also included in this section.

Proofs
The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and PDF proofs will be e-mailed to the corresponding author for final review. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes should be made, and corrections should be returned promptly.

Publication
Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright to Taylor & Francis. This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided after acceptance.

If material from other copyrighted works is included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and credit the source(s) in the article. Taylor & Francis has pre-printed forms for use by authors in these cases. These can be completed online via the Taylor & Francis homepage.

Once an article has been accepted for publication, it is published in Health Psychology Review immediately as an “in press” or iFirst article. The paper will subsequently be published in both fully browseable web form, and as a formatted PDF.

Free article access: Corresponding authors will receive free online access to their article through our website (www.informaworld.com) and a complimentary copy of the issue containing their article. Reprints of articles published in this journal can be purchased through Rightslink® when proofs are received. If you have any queries, please contact our reprints department at reprints@tandf.co.uk
