About the journal
American Journal of Community Psychology published in association with the Society for Community Research and Action: The Division of Community Psychology of the American Psychological Association offers quantitative and qualitative research on community psychological interventions at the social, neighborhood, organizational, group, and individual levels. Wide-ranging topics include individual and community mental and physical health; educational, legal, and work environment processes, policies, and opportunities; social welfare and social justice; studies of social problems; and evaluations of interventions. Contributions of eminent leaders in the field address such salient issues as prevention of problems in living, promotion of emotional and physical health, well-being and competence, empowerment of marginal groups, collective social action, social networks, institutional and organizational change, and self and mutual help. Community-based interventions such as collaborative research, advocacy, consultation, training, and planning are also featured.
Instructions to Authors
The American Journal of Community Psychology publishes empirical research, reports of community interventions, theoretical papers, and literature reviews in the area of community psychology.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: individual and community mental and physical health; educational, legal, and work environment processes, policies, and opportunities; family, institutional, and community processes; social welfare and social justice; studies of social problems; and evaluations of interventions. Papers are welcome that concern prevention of problems in living, promotion of emotional and physical health, well being and competence, empowerment of historically disenfranchised groups, collective social action, social networks, institutional and organizational change, self and mutual help and community−based interventions such as collaborative research, advocacy, consultation, training, and planning. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods are appropriate, as are investigations which address a variety of levels of analysis, including neighborhood, organizational, group, social, and individual. The American Journal of Community Psychology actively encourages the submission of manuscripts concerned with underrepresented populations and issues of human diversity in community psychology.
Manuscripts, in quadruplicate and in English, should be sent to the Editor: William S. Davidson II, Ph.D. Editor American Journal of Community Psychology Department of Psychology 132 Psychology Building Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan 48824−1116 Monographs not exceeding 200 double−spaced manuscript pages (including figures and tables) are also appropriate for submission. Prior consultation with the Editor is recommended to help determine the scope of a planned monograph. Submission is a representation that the manuscript has not been published previously and is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. A statement transferring copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Plenum Publishing Corporation will be required before the manuscript can be accepted for publication. The Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer. Such a written transfer of copyright, which previously was assumed to be implicit in the act of submitting a manuscript, is necessary under the U.S. Copyright Law in order for the publisher to carry through the dissemination of research results and reviews as widely and effectively as possible.
Manuscript Complied with APA Ethical Standards
Authors are required to state in their initial submission letter or to provide a signed statement that they have complied with APA ethical standards in their treatment of individuals participating in the research or intervention described in the manuscript. They should note that the research has been approved by their organizational unit responsible for the protection of human subjects. (Copies of both the APA Publication Manual and APA Code of Ethics may be obtained from the American Psychological Association, Order Department, 750 1st St., S.E., Washington, D.C. 20002.) It is the policy of the journal to avoid the use of the term "subjects." Research participants, respondents, or a more specific appropriate designation should be used. The journal further urges contributors to clarify how informed consent was gathered and to describe the nature and impact of feedback to settings involved in the research or intervention. In addition, it encourages the inclusion of descriptive material relevant to understanding the nature of the settings or communities where the work was carried out as well as the nature of the relationship between professionals and the participants or respondents. It is most important that the text describe, as appropriate, the background characteristics of participants in detail. Ordinarily, this includes information on gender, age, racial and ethnic background, sexual orientation, disability status, and socioeconomic status.
The style of the 1994 (fifth) edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association should guide the preparation of manuscripts, particularly with respect to such matters as the citation of references and the use of abbreviations, numbers, and symbols. Academic affiliations of all authors and the full mailing address of the one author who will receive all correspondence should be included. In order to allow blind review, authors should avoid identifying information in the body of a manuscript. Full identifying information, including address for correspondence, should be placed on a cover page. Include a stamped, self−addressed postcard for confirmation of receipt of manuscript.

A 150−word abstract is to be provided. A list of 4−6 key words is to be provided directly below the abstract. Key words should express the precise content of the manuscript, as they are used for indexing purposes. |

Tables should be numbered in one consecutive series of Roman numerals and referred to by number in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet of paper and should have a descriptive title centered above the table. |


|
Illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of Arabic numerals and referred to by number in the text. Photographs should be large, glossy prints, showing high contrast. Either the original drawings or high−quality photographic prints are acceptable. Identify figures on the back with author's name and number of the illustration. Each figure should have an accompanying caption. The list of captions for illustrations should be typed (double−spaced) on a separate sheet of paper.  Electronic artwork submitted on disk should be in the TIFF or EPS format (1200 dpi for line and 300 dpi for half−tones and gray−scale art). Color art should be in the CYMK color space. Artwork should be on a separate disk from the text, and hard copy must accompany the disk. |
Hard Copy and Electronic Files
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication and after all revisions have been incorporated, manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor's Office as hard copy accompanied by electronic files on disk. Label the disk with identifying information ?software, journal name, and first author's last name. The disk must be the one from which the accompanying manuscript (finalized version) was printed out. The Editor's Office cannot accept a disk without its accompanying, matching hard−copy manuscript.
The journal makes no page charges. Reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs.
