About the journal
The Journal of Pediatric Psychology is the official journal of the Society of Pediatric Psychology, Division 54 of the American Psychological Association. The Journal of Pediatric Psychology publishes articles related to theory, research, and professional practice in pediatric psychology.
Papers are published on a wide variety of topics exploring the inter-relationship between the psychological and physical well-being of children, adolescents and families.
Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Pediatric Psychology offers authors high-quality print and online publication. To ensure rapid and efficient publication, please follow the step-by-step instructions below.
PREPARING YOUR MANUSCRIPT
- Follow the journal's instructions to authors regarding the format of your manuscript and references.
- Prepare your manuscript, including tables, using a word-processing program and save it as a .doc or .rtf file. All files in these formats will be converted to .pdf format upon submission.
- Prepare your figures at print publication quality resolution, using applications capable of generating high-resolution .tif files (1200 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for color and halftone artwork). The printing process requires your figures to be in this format if your paper is accepted for publication. For useful information on preparing your figures for publication, go to http://cpc.cadmus.com/da. For online submission, please also prepare a second version of your figures at low-resolution for use in the review process; these versions of the figures can be saved in .jpg, .gif, .tif, or .eps format.
- Prepare any other files that are to be submitted for review. The permitted formats for these files are the same as for manuscripts and figures. Other file types, such as Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Powerpoint presentations, may be uploaded and will be converted to .pdf format. It is also possible to upload LaTeX files, but these will not be automatically converted to .pdf format.
- When naming your files, please use simple file names and avoid special characters and spaces. If you are a Macintosh user you must type the three-letter extension at the end of the file name you choose (e.g. .doc, .rtf, .tif, .pdf).
SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT
Now that your files are ready, visit the online submission Web site.
- First, you will need to log in to the system. Note: Before you begin, be sure you are using version 4.0 or higher of Netscape or Internet Explorer. If you have an earlier version, you can download a free upgrade using the icons found at the bottom of the "Instructions and Forms" page.
- If you have submitted or reviewed a manuscript on this system before and know your log-in details, use your user ID and password to log in.
- If you do not know your log-in details, check to see if you are already registered by clicking on the "Check for existing account" button and following the instructions on the screen. If you are not already registered, you can register by clicking on the "Create a new account" button on the log-in screen and following the instructions on the screen.
- If you have trouble finding manuscripts or experience other problems with your account, do not create another account. Please contact customer support (see "Getting Help" below).
- To submit a new manuscript, go to the Author Center, choose "Submit First Draft of a New Manuscript," and follow the on-screen instructions. There are up to 12 steps for you to follow to submit your manuscript. You move from one step to the next by clicking on the "Save and Continue" button on each screen. If you press the "Back" or "Forward" buttons on your browser your work will not be saved. At any stage you can stop the submission process by clicking on the "Return to Menu" button-everything you have typed into the system up to, but not including, the current screen will be saved. To return to the submission process you will need to click on the manuscript title in the "Partially Submitted Manuscripts" section in your Author Center. You may want to have the original word-processing file available so that you can copy and paste the title and abstract into the required fields.
- To upload your files using the Author Center's "File Manager" - screen 10 of the submission process:
- Click on the "Browse" button and locate the document you want to upload.
- Select the designation from the pull-down menu, starting with the "Main Document."
- You will also be asked whether each document you upload should be considered for review, and the default is set to "Yes." Please be advised that if you select "No" the editorial staff will still be able to view that document and make it available to an editor or reviewer if necessary.
- Click on the "Upload" button to submit each file. If you are uploading your manuscript file and it is in one of the formats specified above, it will be automatically converted to a .pdf file for peer review.
- When the upload of each file is completed, you will see a confirmation window asking you to write a description of that file. For your Main Document, you can use a description such as "Article Text" or "Main Document." For your figures, please indicate the figure number, such as "Figure 1" or "Fig. 1." For any supporting documents, please indicate clearly what the document is as well as its format (MS Excel, MS Word, etc.). Be certain you have uploaded your word-processor file and .tif image files.
- From the files you submit to make up your manuscript, the system creates and stores separately two types of files:
- Files for Review. These will be the files viewable to the editor and reviewers of your manuscript. The system will automatically convert your text documents (any document in .doc or .rtf format) into .pdf and make that newly converted document accessible for review, leaving the originally uploaded document under the second column, "Files for Production." [Note: PDF files are readable with Adobe Acrobat Reader, available for download from the main log-in screen of Manuscript Central, as well as from www.adobe.com.] The system will also convert and save under "Files for Review" all files with images (figures, charts, graphs, etc.) in .jpg, .gif, .tif, and .eps formats, converting them into smaller .jpg images and leaving the original files under "Files for Production." The smaller versions of your image will include the file name "_sm.jpg." The system will also save under "Files for Review" any files that are uploaded in formats that it cannot convert.
- Files for Production. These are all the original word-processor files and high-resolution figure files for production of your article once it has been accepted. [Those files you designated for review but submitted in a format that cannot be converted by the system will not be listed here.]
- If the files have not been uploaded to your satisfaction, click on the "Previous" button to return to the file upload screen, where you can remove the files you do not want and repeat the upload process.
- After the successful upload of your text and images, it will be possible for you to view and proof your manuscript, now located on the Web site. The on-screen version of your manuscript you review at the journal's Web site will also be the version accessed by the editor and the reviewers.
- When you are satisfied with the uploaded manuscript, click on the "Submit" button. It is not until this button is clicked that the manuscript and all of the associated information (i.e., contributing authors, institutions, etc.) are linked together and the manuscript is given a manuscript number. Once the manuscript is submitted it is not possible to undo the submission.
- After the manuscript has been submitted you will receive an e-mail confirmation stating that your manuscript was successfully submitted. This message will also give the assigned manuscript number, which is used in all correspondence. If you do not receive this message, your manuscript will not have been successfully submitted to the journal and cannot progress to peer review. If this is the case your manuscript will still be sitting in the "Partially Submitted Manuscripts" section of your Author Center, awaiting your attention.
- If you return to your Author Center you will notice that your newly submitted manuscript can be found in the "Submitted Manuscripts" area. Among the information listed there, the "Processing Status" section provides information on the status of your manuscript as it moves through the review process.
SUBMITTING A REVISED MANUSCRIPT
If you are advised by an editor that your original manuscript may be considered in revised form, prepare the revision (as above) and your response to the editor and referees, then proceed as follows.
- Log on to the Manuscript Central Web site as before and, in the Author Center, click on "Manuscripts to be Revised." You will then see the title of any manuscripts awaiting revision.
- If you click on the title of your manuscript you will reach the "File Manager" section, and you can then upload the files associated with your revised manuscript. To facilitate the production process, be sure to upload a word-processor file of the revised text in .doc or .rtf format, and not in .pdf format. Also, be sure to upload high-resolution figure files for production.
- If you click on "View comments/respond" you will see the editor's letter to you and the referees' comments. You may cut and paste your response into the text areas at the bottom of the screen.
IMPORTANT: If your paper is accepted, your images will be required as high-resolution .tif files (1200 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for color and halftone artwork) or high-quality printouts on glossy paper. Please note that publication of your manuscript will not proceed until figures suitable for reproduction are received.
