Please take notice that the manuscript you want to send should have the quality to appear in an international peer reviewed journal. If you have any doubts about that, we can advice you. Therefore you can send us the abstract or, better, the outline of the manuscript, already.
If you have finished your manuscript already, please send it to the chair. He will collect all the manuscripts. The different members of the board of WPA-TPS will read them, give advice, and make a choice for the Award. Please keep in mind that before publishing the manuscript in the 2014 special issue of Transcultural Psychiatry, a peer review of the journal is needed. Prof. K. Bhui and Dr. H. Rohlof will be the editors of this special issue.
