Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.
- The submission file is in Microsoft Word or RTF document file format.
- Where available, URLs for the references have been provided. Other hyperlinks have been checked, are active, and lead to the intended site, document, or object.
- The text is double-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
- The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements of the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA).
- My name and contact information only appear in the cover letter. This only applies to articles; if you are submitting a review, go ahead and check this box regardless.
- I have included a abstract of 150-200 words, as well as a listing of author-generated keywords. This only applies to articles; if you are submitting a review, go ahead and check this box regardless. Your abstract for the review will include: author(s), last name first; title of material being reviewed; place of publication; publisher; date of publication; number of pages; ISBN; and cost of title.
