Instructions to Authors
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS
Please submit manuscripts electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tcpjournal. Authors will be asked to set up an online account in the SAGETRACK system, powered by ScholarOne.
Inquiries can be addressed to the editor via e-mail (nadya@uwm.edu) or telephone (414-229-6830) and at the address listed below:
Nadya A. Fouad, Ph.D. Editor, The Counseling Psychologist Department of Educational Psychology PO 413 UW-Milwaukee Milwaukee, WI 53201-0413 THE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES FOR ALL MANUSCRIPTS
When submitting manuscripts for review, authors should be sure to remove any identifying information in the manuscript to ensure a blind review.
Proposals for Major Contributions involve all 6 steps described below. Proposals include 3 steps (1-3) in the review process that journal and forum manuscripts and Major Contributions do not have to undergo.
1. For proposals, the editor will make a prompt review of the suitability of the proposal for distribution to the TCP editorial board. If the proposal is found inappropriate or incomplete, it will be returned to the author with recommendations regarding submission. Once a proposal is complete, it will be sent out to members of the editorial board for ratings and comments. The editor will provide feedback to the author within approximately 2 months after the receipt of the proposal. This communication will specify a decision about whether to proceed, or whether any additional information or development is needed before a final decision can be made.
2. Any substantial deviations from the approved proposal must be cleared with the editor.
3. A date for completion of the article(s) and an approximate publication date will be established by the editor.
Journal, forum, and major contribution manuscripts follow the review and publication steps outlined in 4-6.
4. When the completed manuscript(s) is received, it will be reviewed by editorial board members, ad hoc reviewers, and the editor(s). Editorial feedback will be provided within 8 to 10 weeks of receipt of the manuscript. If appropriate, the author(s) will be allowed between 8 to 10 weeks to make revisions and still retain their original place in the publication sequence.
5. If the manuscript is reviewed favorably for publication, the authors will be notified. Minor revisions may be requested as the manuscript is prepared for publication. For major contributions that involve reactions, the author(s) will be asked to submit a list of possible respondents. The editor will review these suggestions, consult with content experts (including TCP board members), and then select reactants with input from the author(s).
6. Once a draft has been received that is judged to be acceptable with only minor revisions, the manuscript is scheduled for publication and needed documents are requested. In the case of manuscripts that have reactions, respondents will be contacted by the editor. Reactants will be allowed 6 to 8 weeks to prepare their articles.
GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTING MAJOR CONTRIBUTION PROPOSALS TO THE COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGIST
One of the hallmarks of The Counseling Psychologist (TCP) is the thematic format of the journal, introduced in 1969 by John Whiteley. The basic format is to have one or more articles constituting a Major Contribution on a single topic, followed by reaction articles from a diverse group of colleagues to stimulate additional thought. Given the manuscript length of Major Contributions, most often potential authors engage in a two-step review process. First, they submit a proposal for a Major Contribution (approximately 15 pages), and if the proposal is approved, full-length manuscripts are subsequently developed and reviewed for acceptability (see details below). In a few exceptional cases, potential authors may have already complete, full-length manuscripts; these authors can submit their manuscripts directly for editorial review.
Major Contribution Proposal Format
The proposal format consists of 3 sections prepared in accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition (APA, 2001).
I. Proposed Content and Structure
Section I is an approximately five-page overview of the following five points, preferably addressed point by point:
1. A one-paragraph description of the content domain of the Major Contribution.
2. Specific goals of the Major Contribution. The goals should include some level of conceptual, empirical, and methodological contributions to research, practice, and/or training activities of interest to counseling psychologists. Critical literature reviews are encouraged. Authors are especially encouraged to submit a package of shorter articles. For example, the lead article might be primarily a conceptual article, with the next two articles each providing empirical support for some part of the conceptual model identified in the first article. A fourth article might build on the other three articles by discussing practice implications. Collectively, the package of articles in such a Major Contribution would integrate theory, science, and practice. Whether through one extended manuscript or package of shorter articles, the best proposals will explicitly (a) integrate theory, practice, and science; (b) address major societal problems; (c) discuss implications for specific populations, such as women, men, racial/ethnic group members, non-ethnic groups (gay, lesbian, bisexual), and various educational levels, social classes, and nationalities; and (d) establish a historical context for the Major Contribution.
3. A brief rationale explaining why and how both the content and specific goals above are important for counseling psychologists at this time.
4. A one-paragraph description of the proposed structure of the Major Contribution. The complete manuscript, whether consisting of one or more articles, including references, can range from 70 to 120 double-spaced, typed pages. Given the general shortage of journal space, concise manuscripts are valued.
5. Specify the amount of time needed to prepare the proposed Major Contribution.
II. Summary of the Proposed Major Contribution
Section II is a summary of the proposed article(s) that constitute the Major Contribution (approximately 10 pages). The purpose of this section is to allow the author(s) to provide specific details about the proposed structure and content of the proposal discussed in Section I. Inclusion of some citations is encouraged.
III. References
Section III is a listing of the references used in Sections I and II.
DESCRIPTION OF THE FORUMS OF
THE COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGIST
An important component of The Counseling Psychologist (TCP) is the forums that facilitate the discussion of conceptual, empirical, and methodological issues in specific domains. Each forum has one or more features that are described below. However, the Journal welcomes manuscripts that are not designated for any particular forum.
The Practice Forum is for invited manuscripts that address trends in the practice of counseling psychology that research might address further. An advisory board comprised of Division 17 leaders assists with the solicitation, review and selection of manuscripts. The editor of the Practice Forum is Jeffrey Prince, Ph.D.
The Legacies and Traditions Forum is for articles that document the personal and professional lives of early pioneers whose work has shaped our profession. Each article represents an oral history of the profession. Pioneers must be at least 60 years of age and have made major contributions to the field of counseling psychology through science and/or practice activities. .
The International Forum is a deliberate attempt to increase the visibility of international contributions to counseling in a variety of ways: (a) to promote awareness, knowledge, and skill of international and intercultural counseling activities among members of the Society of Counseling psychology; (b) to promote professional relations and communication between society members and the larger international community of professional counselors: and (c) to provide an opportunity to share information on international and intercultural counseling issues. Articles might focus on: counseling persons in an international population, counseling strategies unique to an international setting, problems in adapting counseling to an international setting, reviews of literature on counseling in non-English speaking countries, and research on international populations. For examples of the International Forum articles, please refer to the January 2000 issue of TCP. The co-editors of the International Forum are Larry Gerstein, Ph.D. and Karl Kwan Ph.D.
The Around the Winter Roundtable is for invited manuscripts, which focus on racial and cultural issues relevant to counseling psychology. Invited authors include the keynote speaker and/or the Janet E. Helms award recipient from the Winter Roundtable on Cultural Psychology and Education. The editor of the Around the Winter Roundtable Forum is Madonna Constantine, Ph.D.
In Memoriam is to honor those psychologists who have made significant contributions to counseling psychology. Past presidents of Division 17 and Leona Tyler Award winners are all recognized. In addition, selection of distinguished past contributors is on a case-by-case basis, with assistance from an advisory committee composed of the past president, president, and president-elect of the society.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION AND ETHICAL ISSUES
Manuscripts should be prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition (APA, 2001). All parts of the manuscript must be submitted electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tcpjournal, double-spaced, and formatted for 8.5 x 11 paper. Authors are advised to use language that is free from sexist, racist, or ethnic bias; heterosexism; bias toward people with disabilities; ageism; and other kinds of bias. All manuscripts should include an abstract on a separate page that contains no more than 150 words. Tables are to be included when necessary to depict the results. There should be page breaks between tables, figures, abstracts, and captions and these sections must conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition (APA, 2001).
Authors are expected to adhere to the APA Ethical Guidelines in conducting all phases of their investigation and manuscript preparation. In particular, it is important that all ethical issues with regard to treatment of research participants be carefully examined and actions taken in accordance with the APA Ethical Guidelines. Moreover, it is important that every person who contributed to the project is acknowledged in the Author Notes, in accordance with APA policy, or is listed as an author.
In preparing and submitting manuscripts, authors are expected to report data and results that are both honest and accurate. Such practices as submitting a previously published manuscript for review, and submitting the same manuscript to various journals at the same time should not be exercised. Piecemeal or fragmented publications that form a single study are discouraged unless there is a clear benefit to the scientific community. Multiple reports from a large data set must include reference to proper reports and make clear the degree of sample overlap. In all cases where multiple reports from the same data set, authors should inform the editor as well as explicitly note any overlap in the report. Upon receipt of any manuscript for review, authors will be asked to sign a form indicating adherence to APA Ethical Guidelines as well as the issues identified above.
Authors submitting manuscripts are protected by common law against the unauthorized use of their unpublished work. Specifically, an unpublished manuscript is considered to be a confidential or privileged paper. Reviewers will be asked to destroy or return the manuscript after their review is completed; in addition, reviewers will be asked not to circulate, quote, cite, or refer to the unpublished work in any way unless specific permission is granted by the author.
