Contributions include research papers, reviews, short communications and Letters to the Editor.The journal presents a fresh, undogmatic attitude towards this multi-disciplinary field, aiming to be a forum for novel ideas and improved understanding of collective and cooperative phenomena in systems with computational capabilities.

clinical application, or which provides insights into the biological basis of neuropsychiatric disorders and thereby advances their pharmacological treatment. Such research might derive from the full spectrum of biological and psychological fields of inquiry, encompassing classical and novel techniques in neuropsychopharmacology, as well as strategies such as neuroimaging, genetics, psycho-neuroendocrinology and neuropsychology. IJNP's rapid publication policy is facilitated by web-based submission and review, and the journal publishes the definitive versions of papers online, ahead of the printed issues. All papers are indexed in PubMed and Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports.
