Instructions to Authors
Applied Psychological Measurement (APM) publishes empirical research on the application of psychological measurement to substantive problems in all areas of psychology and related disciplines.
The general classes of studies published include (1) reports on the development and application of innovative measurement techniques, (2) reports of methodological developments in the solution of measurement problems, (3) studies comparing applications of different measurement techniques, (4) studies investigating the applicability of measurement methodologies, (5) empirical studies on validation and reliability methodologies, and (6) critical reviews of measurement methodology. Validity and reliability studies of psychological measuring instruments are published only if they have a methodological focus.
Methodologically oriented studies in the measurement of ability, aptitude, personality, interests, and social, developmental, and perceptual variables will be considered, as will studies in test development and unidimensional and multidimensional scaling. This journal does not publish papers that are purely statistical in nature, unless they are demonstrably related to applied measurement problems (e.g., problems in the estimation of parameters in measurement models, or problems in the determination of validity or reliability of measurement techniques).
Brief Reports will also be considered for publication. These papers report on exploratory, small-sample, and replication studies, as well as brief technical notes. Brief Reports are limited to two published pages, or about 1,000 manuscript words, including tables, figures, and references (about four typed double-spaced manuscript pages). Brief Reports do not require an abstract, and summaries at the end of the paper should be avoided. Similarly, the literature review should be kept to a minimum.
The Computer Program Exchange publishes abstracts of computer programs and subroutines useful in the solution of applied measurement problems or in the instruction of measurement concepts. Only abstracts designed for the exchange of software that would be otherwise unavailable will be published; information about programs developed for commercial distribution should be made available by advertisement. Abstracts should be limited to two typed double-spaced manuscript pages. They should include the following information: name of program or subroutine; a brief description of its purpose and function; description of the programming
language; computer(s) on which it is operational and any unusual computer requirements in terms of size of memory, disks, and so forth; nature of documentation available; form in which program is available (e-mail, disk); cost of acquisition; name and mailing address of the program¡¯s author; and the author¡¯s e-mail address. Acceptable abstracts will be published on a spaceavailable basis. Abstracts that are unacceptable in content or form will be returned to the author. Send abstracts for the Computer Program Exchange to the Computer Program Exchange Editor, Niels G. Waller, USA, Department of Psychology, N-218 Elliott Hall, 75 E. River Road, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455 e-mail: nwaller@umn.edu. Two printed copies of the abstract should be accompanied by an electronic copy in Micosoft Word format. Submissions should also include one copy of the executable software, the program source code, software documentation, and sample input and output files.
Software Notes are brief reports of a researcher¡¯s experience with commercially available software programs. They report on unexpected experiences or observations based on use of a program that will help others recognize or avoid potential problems with the program. Software Notes are published on a space-available basis with minimal editing. They should be submitted to the Editor electronically in Microsoft Word format, along with two hard copies.
Computer Software Reviews are published for new or upgraded, commercially available computer packages for personal computers. Windows or Macintosh software for item and test analysis (including differential item functioning), item response theory calibration and applications (including equating and linking), item banking and test construction, item factor analysis, computerized adaptive testing, and other statistical analyses related to measurement are reviewed by invitation. Readers or software authors/publishers may request reviews of software packages by corresponding with the Computer Software Review Editor or by sending software packages for review. Readers interested in being considered as software reviewers should write to Richard M. Luecht, Computer Software Review Editor, Educational Research Methodology, School of Education, University of North Carolina, Curry 209, P.O. Box 26170, Greensboro, NC 27402-6170, USA.
Book Reviews of important new books are published. Although book reviews are published by invitation, readers may suggest books to be considered for review. Similarly, readers who wish to be considered as reviewers should write to the Book Review Editor, Edward Wolfe, at EDRE, 313 East Eggleston Hall, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061.
For the Record provides an opportunity for authors of books reviewed in this journal, or authors whose work is cited in our articles, to publish comments on those reviews or citations. For the Record offers authors a mechanism for responding to what they may consider to be misinterpretations, errors, or misrepresentations of their work. Authors¡¯ comments should be brief and restricted to correcting (1) errors of fact or (2) errors of interpretation. Comments on Book Reviews should be submitted electronically, preferably in MSWord format, to the Book Review Editor, Edward Wolfe, at edwolfe@vt.edu; comments on Software Reviews should be
sent to the Software Review Editor, Richard M. Luecht, Educational Research Methodology, University of North Carolina, Curry 209, P.O. Box 26171, Greensboro, NC 27402-6171; comments on articles should be submitted to the Editor. All submissions should be typed and double-spaced; and hard-copy submissions to Software Reviews should be submitted in duplicate.
Announcements of general interest to readers will be published. Highest priority will be given to announcements of meetings, symposia, workshops, and the like. Other announcements that will be considered include the availability of technical reports or other publications with limited circulation, notices of new publications, or brief items of general interest to applied measurement specialists. Send two printed copies of the announcement and the text of the announcement in Microsoft Word format to the Editor at the address below.
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts for review should be submitted electronically either in Microsoft Word (preferred) or .pdf format to the editor at apm@umn.edu (please include the words ¡®¡®APM submissions¡¯¡¯ in the subject line of your e-mail). Manuscripts should be double spaced in a 12-point font. All manuscripts will be acknowledged when they are received. Authors should retain a copy of their manuscript because submitted manuscripts will not be returned. Manuscripts will be reviewed ¡®¡®blind¡¯¡¯ if the author removes all identifying material from two titled copies of the manuscript. It is understood that papers submitted for publication have not been previously published and will not be simultaneously submitted for publication consideration elsewhere, and if accepted for publication, such papers will not be published elsewhere, in any language, without the written consent of the publisher.
Publication cost and reprints. APM does not require authors to pay costs of publication. Authors will receive 2 complimentary copies of the issue in which their article appears. Authors may purchase reprints of their article.
Preparation of Manuscripts
Authors should carefully prepare their manuscripts in accordance with the following instructions.
Manuscripts should be as concise as possible, yet sufficiently detailed to permit adequate communication and critical review. Authors should follow the style of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (fifth edition, 2001).
When possible, authors should prepare their manuscripts (including tables) on word-processing equipment that is capable of outputting files on disks or transmitting files by the Internet, because manuscripts are typeset from disks or files provided by authors. Authors will receive information for submitting the final copy of their manuscript by electronic means upon final acceptance of their paper.
The first page of the paper should contain the article title, the names and affiliations of all authors, and the name, email address, and complete mailing address of the person to whom all correspondence should be sent. The second page should contain an abstract of no more than 150 words, and five to seven index terms or phrases that will be published following the abstract and will appear in the volume and cumulative indexes. The title of the paper should be repeated on page 2.
The following sections should be prepared as indicated:
References. Text citations and references should follow the style of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (fifth edition, 2001).
Tables. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. Each table should be fully titled and typed on a separate page. Footnotes to tables should be identified by superscript lowercase letters and placed at the bottom of the table. All tables should be referred to in the text. Tables should be typed single spaced.
Figures. Copies of figures should be sent on first submission of a manuscript; original figures will be requested when a manuscript is accepted for publication. All figure titles should be on a separate page. All figures should be referred to in the text.
Equations. Equations should be typed on separate lines in the text. All equations should be referred to in the text, or be a natural part of the text, including appropriate punctuation. All equations should be numbered consecutively in parentheses on the right-hand
side. References to equations in the text should be to ¡®¡®Equation 1¡¯¡¯ not ¡®¡®(1).¡¯¡¯
