Instructions to Authors
EDITORIAL REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE
The acceptance criteria for all papers are the quality and originality of the research and its significance to our readership. Except where otherwise stated, manuscripts are double-blind peer reviewed by two anonymous reviewers and the Editor. Final acceptance or rejection rests with the Editorial Board, who reserves the right to refuse any material for publication.
Manuscripts should be in a clear, concise, direct style. Material for publication should comply with non-sectarian, non-racist and non-sexist conventions, except by way of fair illustration for comment. Special care should be taken with case illustrations to protect confidentiality.
Where contributions are judged as acceptable for publication on the basis of content, the Editor and the Publisher reserve the right to modify typescripts to eliminate ambiguity and repetition and improve communication between author and reader. If extensive alterations are required, the manuscript will be returned to the author for revision.
Style
The written paper should be logical, economical and precise in structure and language. Authors should take special care to edit their papers so it is clearly expressed, easily understood by readers, grammatically correct and devoid of repetition.
Content
Papers should focus on the theory, research, teaching and practice of family therapy, with case studies and interviews presented as part of a more general theoretical or practice discussion.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Ethical Considerations
Authors must state that the protocol for the research project has been approved by a suitably constituted Ethics Committee of the institution within which the work was undertaken and that it conforms to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki available at http://www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/17c.pdf. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy retains the right to reject any manuscript on the basis of unethical conduct of either human or animal studies.
Language and Cultural Identity
Where it is important to describe the cultural identity or a person, family or group of people in a paper, authors are advised to seek advice from the person, family or representatives of the group about appropriate language so they are represented in a respectful manner that is in line with their preferences. Capitals should be used when referring to Aboriginal peoples, Torres Strait Islander peoples, Māori peoples, Indigenous peoples, or a specific community, cultural group, nation name or tribal affiliation.
There are some terms that are not considered appropriate and will not be printed in the journal. For example, in relation to Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islander Australians, the word Aborigines and the use of Aboriginal/s as a noun is never appropriate. The word Aboriginal should only be used as an adjective, e.g. Aboriginal people/s or Aboriginal Australians. The terms First Nations Peoples of Australia and Indigenous peoples are sometimes used, but authors must gain advice as the term Indigenous is not supported in all areas of Australia and for some people it is only relevant when discussing Indigenous peoples internationally. If the paper is about a specific Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community, cultural group or nation, then representatives from that community, cultural group or nation may advise authors to use their community/cultural or group/nation name.
Publications from Aotearoa/New Zealand reporting information on Māori participants are expected to honour Treaty of Waitangi principles through negotiating effective academic partnerships, protecting Māori values, beliefs and practices and demonstrating accountability to Māori for what is written about them and how their iwi (tribal) and other affiliations are reported.
The critical expectation is that authors gain advice before submitting papers, and understand that the editorial team may want to clarify language with them to ensure that respectful processes have been followed.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Manuscripts should be submitted via email to editor@anzjft.com.
Covering letter
Papers are accepted for publication in the journal on the understanding that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium. This must be stated in the covering letter.
The covering letter must also contain an acknowledgment that all authors have contributed significantly, and that all authors are in agreement with the content of the manuscript.
Authors must indicate whether there is a conflict of interest when submitting. If there is a conflict of interest, the author must clearly identify the conflict in their covering letter that declares any grants or other sources of funding that support reported research, as well as any relevant industrial links or affiliations that the author may have. Such information will be held in confidence while the paper is under review and will not influence the editorial decision but, if the article is accepted for publication, the Editor will consider with the authors whether such information needs to be communicated to the reader.

STYLE OF THE MANUSCRIPT
- Style. Manuscripts should follow the style of the American Psychological Association (6th edition), except in regards to spelling.
- Spelling. The journal uses Australian spelling and authors should therefore follow the latest edition of the Macquarie Dictionary (3rd ed. Rev.).
- Word length. The maximum length for Regular Articles is 6000 words, including references, tables, and figures. Please state the number of words in your manuscript on its front page.
- Abbreviations. In general, terms should not be abbreviated unless they are used repeatedly and the abbreviation is helpful to the reader. Initially use the word in full, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter use the abbreviation only.
- Quotations. Quotations (no more than 50 words each) should be indented when longer than two and a half lines of print. Other quotations should be identified by quotation marks. They should be used only when the authority from whom you wish to quote has expressed the idea more memorably and succinctly than you could.
PARTS OF THE MANUSCRIPT
Manuscripts should be presented in the following order: (i) title page, (ii) abstract and key words, (iii) key points for practitioners, (iv) text,(v) acknowledgments, (vi) references, (vii) appendices, (viii) endnotes, (ix) appendices, (x) figure legends, (xi) tables and (xii) figures. Footnotes to the text and under tables are not allowed. Any such material should be incorporated as endnotes.
Title page
As articles are double-blind reviewed, material that might identify authorship of the paper should be placed on a title page; this will be detached before the paper is sent to referees.
The title page should contain (i) the title of the paper, (ii) the full names of the authors and (iii) the addresses of the institutions at which the work was carried out together with (iv) the full postal and email address, plus facsimile and telephone numbers, of the author to whom correspondence about the manuscript should be sent. The present address of any author, if different from that where the work was carried out, should be supplied in a footnote.
The title should be short, informative and contain the major key words. Do not use abbreviations in the title. A short running title (less than 40 characters) should also be provided.
Abstract and key words
All articles must have a brief abstract of up to 250 words that states the major points made and the principal conclusions reached. The abstract should not contain abbreviations or references.
Six key words (for the purposes of indexing) should be supplied below the abstract in alphabetical order.
Key points
Authors will need to provide up to five key points summarising the relevance of their paper. The key points should be written with a practitioner audience in mind.
Text
The text should be organised into an introductory section, conveying the background and purpose of the report, and then into sections identified with subheadings.
Tables
Tables should be self-contained and complement, but not duplicate, information contained in the text. Number tables consecutively in the text in Arabic numerals. Type tables on a separate page with the legend above. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the table, legend and endnotes must be understandable without reference to the text. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Column headings should be brief, with units of measurement in parentheses; all abbreviations must be defined in endnotes. Endnote symbols: †, ‡, §, ¶, should be used (in that order) and *, **, *** should be reserved for P-values. Statistical measures such as SD or SEM should be identified in the headings.
Figures
All illustrations (line drawings and photographs) are classified as figures. Figures should be cited in consecutive order in the text.Figures supplied in colour can be published in colour on the web at no charge, however there is a charge to authors for publishing colour in the print version of the journal. More information about figures is available via Wiley Blackwell’s web pages for submission guidelines and digital graphics standards at http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/journal.asp and http://authorservices.wiley.com/bauthor/illustration.asp. Line figures should be sharp, black and white graphs or diagrams, drawn professionally or with a computer graphics package. Lettering must be included and should be sized to be no larger than the journal text.
Figure legends
Type figure legends on a separate page. Legends should be concise but comprehensive – the figure and its legend must be understandable without reference to the text. Include definitions of any symbols used and define/explain all abbreviations and units of measurement.
Endnotes
Endnotes should be placed as a list at the end of the paper only, not at the foot of each page. They should be numbered in the list and referred to in the text with consecutive, superscript Arabic numerals. Keep endnotes brief: they should contain only short comments tangential to the main argument of the paper and should not include references.
Appendices
These should be placed at the end of the paper, numbered in Roman numerals and referred to in the text. If written by a person other than the author of the main text, the writer’s name should be included below the title.
Acknowledgements
The source of financial grants and other funding must be acknowledged, including a frank declaration of the authors’ industrial links and affiliations. The contribution of colleagues or institutions should also be acknowledged. Personal thanks are not appropriate.
References
All referencing must be according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition) which can be found at http://www.apastyle.org/.
