Conduct all correspondence through e-mail. https://www.editorialmanager.com/joyo/ Copyright Submission warrants that the findings reported in the manuscript have not been published previously and that the manuscript is not being simultaneously submitted elsewhere. The corresponding author warrants that all co authors agree with the manuscript‘s content. Before any manuscript can be formally accepted for publication, authors must complete the Consent to Publish and Transfer of Copyright form that reassigns copyright from the authors (or their employers, if they hold the copyright) to Springer. The form can be found on the “Home” page of the Editorial ManagerTM site. Authors in doubt of what constitutes prior publication of their own data or analyses should consult the editor. All authors are responsible for all statements made in their work and for obtaining permission from copyright owners to reprint or adapt a table or figure or to reprint extended quotations. Authors must write to the original author(s) and publisher to request nonexclusive world rights in all languages to use the material in the article and in future editions. Submit copies of all permissions and credit lines with the Consent to Publish and Transfer of Copyright form. Ethical Standards Submission warrants that the study was conducted and reported in accordance with the ethical standards of the American Psychological Association. Authors must inform the editor in writing if reports of original research deviate from prevailing ethical principles. Complete ethical guidelines for conducting and reporting research may be found on the American Psychological Association’s website (see also APA, pp. 387-396). American Psychological Association's Website Manuscript Style Manuscripts should not exceed 25-30 pages (including text, references, tables and figures); the Editor considers exceptions only if authors provide adequate justifications. Number all your pages. Type all components double spaced, including  title page abstract  text   quotes  acknowledgments  references  appendices  tables   and figure captions  Avoid using footnotes, unless explicitly requested otherwise. The title page should include the title of the article  author names (no degrees)   author affiliation   and suggested running head  The suggested running head should be less than 70 characters (including spaces). The affiliation should include  the department    institution    city and state (or nation)  and should be footnoted to each author’s name. Each footnote detailing affiliations should also include a concise description of the author‘s interests and, if desired, relevant professional background. Consider the publisher‘s need for brevity. Abstract and Key Words Provide an abstract of 100-150 words, typed on a separate page. Abstracts of empirical articles must describe  the problem under investigation   specify pertinent characteristics of participants   report findings and conclusions   and use the third person perspective (see APA, p. 14  For review articles, consult the APA manual. Directly below the abstract, provide 3-5 key words that express the manuscript’s precise content. Sections Empirical articles must have the following major sections:  Introduction (although not labeled as such) (see APA, pp. 15¨C16)   Hypotheses (remind readers of rationales and actually make testable predictions or explain why you cannot predict)   Method (include demographic information about participants, such as race, ethnicity, and sex) (see APA pp. 65¨C69)   Results   Discussion   References   and, where appropriate, Appendices  Effective manuscripts tend to divide sections into subsections. Use at least two subheadings if you provide any subheading under a higher-level subheading (see APA, pp. 113-115). Conform with the APA Manual‘s standards for the presentation of statistical information. Where applicable, present statistical power analyses, reliability statistics, effect sizes, confidence intervals, and significance levels. For empirical articles, the Method, Results, and Discussion sections must address clearly delineated hypotheses. For review articles, consult the APA manual. References  All publications cited in the text must be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. References within the text must cite the author’s names followed by the date of publication, in chronological order. When a work has up to (and including) six authors, cite all authors. When works have more than six authors, cite the first six, add ’et al.‘, and remember to include all authors‘names in the reference list. All references should cite to primary sources.  Nonsexist Language  Authors must use nonsexist language. Make correct use of the terms ’gender‘ and  ’sex‘ The term ’gender‘ refers to culture and should be used when referring to men and women as social groups. The term ’sex‘ refers to biology and should be used to emphasize biological distinctions (APA, 2001, p. 63).  Tenses  Carefully use tenses. The past tense refers to a past study. Specific results are written in the past tense, given that the study already has been completed. Use the present tense to refer to results (i.e., ’the results indicate. . ‘）when your narrative refers to hypotheses that are being discussed in the present.  Active Voice  Use an active voice. Consult The Elements of Style (W. Strunk, Jr. & E.B. White) and Style: Writing with Clarity and Grace (J. M.Williams).  Review Process The Editor and Editorial Board members control manuscript review and selection. Manuscripts are reviewed by the Editor, the Editorial board and perhaps by invited reviewers with special competence in the area represented by the manuscript. The Editor determines whether the manuscript will be sent for review. The Editor’s decision depends on the relative importance, scientific rigor, and appropriateness of submissions to the journal readership. The Editor retains the discretion to integrate solicited reviews with his own opinions and recommendations into a determinative response. Page Charges The journal makes no page charges. Authors can purchase reprints; order forms with the current price schedule will accompany page proofs.
