About the journal
The Journal of Personality Assessment primarily publishes articles dealing with the development, evaluation, refinement, and application of personality assessment methods. Desirable articles address empirical, theoretical, instructional, or professional aspects of using psychological tests, interview data, or the applied clinical assessment process. They also advance the measurement, description, or understanding of personality, psychopathology, and human behavior.
The Journal is broadly concerned with developing and using personality assessment methods in clinical, counseling, forensic, and health psychology settings; with the assessment process in applied clinical practice; with the assessment of people of all ages and cultures; and with both normal and abnormal personality functioning. Manuscripts focused on personality constructs or processes rather than their assessment ordinarily should be submitted elsewhere.
We encourage articles addressing under-studied areas. These include (a) systematic reviews or meta-analyses that summarize a body of evidence, (b) the effective integration of nomothetic empirical findings with the idiographic requirements of practice in which the assessor reasons through test and extra-test information to make individualized judgments and provide assessment feedback, and (c) the practical value of the clinical assessment process on the individuals receiving services and/or those who refer them for evaluation.
We also encourage case studies. Submissions may illustrate the prototypical presentation for a disorder, describe how complex results or referral questions were resolved, show how an assessment addressed therapeutic impasses, model how to carefully reason through cross-method inconsistencies, illustrate how nomothetic research findings can be effectively linked to idiographic clinical inferences, model ways to systematically challenge and refine inferences, demonstrate how to collaborate with clients and others affected by an assessment, show how the collaborative discussion of findings shapes final impressions and recommendations, highlight ethical dilemmas, illustrate the sophisticated use of a specific test, illuminate how to contend with ambiguities regularly encountered in practice, or help others learn what to avoid by sharing mistakes and faulty inferences. Preference will be given to case submissions that contain commentary from an external source who was present during the assessment, received assessment feedback, or reviewed the author's case material (e.g., the client himself or herself, the referral source, a person significant to the client). Comments may focus on the content, implications, and/or experience of the assessment.
Articles describing statistical developments applicable to personality assessment are also welcomed. Submissions should be written clearly using jargon-free language in a manner understandable by nonstatisticians. They should describe new procedures, provide updates about older procedures, or illustrate practical applications for personality assessment research and/or practice.
Finally, we invite comments and product reviews. Comments should express a substantive opinion on an issue germane to personality assessment, including articles published in recent issues of the Journal. The Book, Software, and Test Reviews section features new products relevant to personality assessment by publishing brief, paragraph-length descriptions of new materials as well as detailed reviews written by an expert in the field. Reviews should evaluate the strengths and limitations of books, software, or tests that are relevant to personality assessment practice or research. Comments and reviews typically will be limited to 1,000 words and an abstract is not required.

Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts must present original material that has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. All authors should qualify for authorship by having made a substantial contribution to the conception, design, analyses, or interpretation of data, and by participating in writing or revising the manuscript. If portions of a manuscript were presented at a conference, the Author Notes should provide specifics. All submissions, but especially case reports, protect anonymity by avoiding or disguising information that could potentially identify a client. Manuscripts are sent anonymously to reviewers, so they should be ready for blind review when submitted. Thus, place Author Notes on the title page and do not intentionally reveal author identity in other ways.
Manuscripts are to be prepared according to the 5th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (http://www.apastyle.org/). Authors of research manuscripts should incorporate the recommendations in "Statistical Methods in Psychology Journals: Guidelines and Explanations" by Wilkinson and the APA Task Force on Statistical Inference (1999, American Psychologist, 54, 594-604; or http://www.apa.org/journals/amp/amp548594.html) and must report standard effect size measures (e.g., r, Cohen's d) for all statistical results. Authors are also encouraged to compute and report effect sizes when describing specific findings from previous studies. Researchers studying the diagnostic accuracy of tests are strongly encouraged to follow the Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy (STARD) guidelines. Resources for following the STARD guidelines and for computing effect sizes are available at http://www.erlbaum.com/jpainfo3ULresources.htm.
We prefer email submissions. Please send the manuscript and cover letter as attached files to jpa@utnet.utoledo.edu. If it is necessary to submit by post, include a paper and an electronic copy of the manuscript and cover letter. Electronic files should be on a 3.5-inch IBM-compatible disk in Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, or rich text format. Send submissions to Gregory J. Meyer, Ph.D., Journal of Personality Assessment, Department of Psychology, University of Toledo, Mail Stop 948, Toledo, OH USA 43606-3390 (phone: 419-530-4312).
