The Clinical Supervisor (TCS) is the only international journal devoted exclusively to the art and science of clinical supervision - the “signature pedagogy” of mental health and related professions. A multi-disciplinary, refereed publication, the journal is a unique resource for supervision researchers, practitioners, and educators working across a range of disciplines, including counseling, substance abuse, psychology, social work, marriage and family therapy, communication science disorders, psychiatric nursing and other health sciences, occupational therapy, genetic counseling, art and music therapies, child welfare, medical education, and other fields in which clinical supervision is central to the education of effective practitioners (even when a different term/label is used for the supervision process).
Key issues of interest to both researchers and practitioners include:
• Supervision skills and interventions, models, modalities (e.g., group, peer, triadic); • Relationship dynamics, cultural responsiveness, and legal and ethical dilemmas, as well as topics specific to settings (e.g., inpatient care, college counseling centers), clients (e.g., children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families) and clinical foci (e.g., trauma-informed care, integrated care); • Developmental challenges of new supervisors (doctoral students, advanced practitioners) (e.g., providing constructive feedback, supervision of supervision, pedagogical foundations) and their supervisees; • Unique training needs of supervision practitioners (e.g., those in mental health and child welfare agencies, medical settings).
The TCS editorial staff particularly welcomes submissions of studies that reveal the intricacies of supervision and supervision education in action and work that advances measurement of supervisee and client outcomes, as well as other variables that contribute to the effectiveness of supervision practice and training. We also seek rigorous literature reviews that advance supervision knowledge and practice, and point to new directions for supervision research.
Review Policy: All articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous, double anonymized reviews by at least two referees.
Publication office: Taylor & Francis, Inc., 530 Walnut Street, Suite 850, Philadelphia, PA 19106.

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.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.

Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI),
Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources
Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
Impact Factor Best Quartile*:
the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation
Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
5 Year Impact Factor*:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal
within a five-year window.
CiteScore (Scopus)†:
the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over
a four-year period.
CiteScore Best Quartile†:
the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1
= 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
SNIP
(Source Normalized Impact per Paper):
the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation
potential in the field.
SJR
(Scimago Journal Rank):
Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the
number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
From submission to first decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a
first decision in the last six months.
From submission to first post-review decision:
the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the
journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review.
Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last
six months.
From acceptance to online publication:
the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to
online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published
in the last six months.
Acceptance rate:
articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous
calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
