Aims and scope
Aims and Scope: The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis is the leading interdisciplinary, international journal publishing on topics relevant to the science and research-informed practice of clinical and experimental hypnosis. Preferred submissions are empirical research articles, clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of hypnosis interventions, neurophysiological studies of hypnosis, mechanisms of hypnosis, hypnotizability, research-based systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and research informed theoretical papers. Submissions may also include, feasibility and pilot studies, clinical papers including well-designed multiple and single case studies, and significant historical and cultural material. Original research and clinical papers dealing with hypnosis and hypnotherapy in psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, the medical and dental specialties, wellness, nursing, allied areas; and studies relating hypnosis to germane phenomena such as mindfulness and contemplative practices are of interest. Unsolicited commentaries on articles appearing in the Journal are not accepted for publication. It is the purpose of this journal to present the best research in scientific hypnosis and to encourage support continued through inquiry in an integrated manner.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
