About the journal

The Journal of Applied Psychology emphasizes the publication of original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to fields of applied psychology (other than clinical and applied experimental or human factors, for which there are more appropriate American Psychological Association journals).

The journal primarily considers empirical and theoretical investigations of interest to psychologists doing research that fosters the understanding of the psychological and behavioral phenomena of individuals, groups, or organizations in settings such as education/training, business, government, health or service institutions, and that may be in the public or private sector, for-profit or nonprofit. We are interested in publishing articles that are empirical, conceptual, or theoretical, or a combination of all three, that enhance our understanding of behavior that has practical implications within particular contexts. This implies that we are quite receptive to articles that are conducted in the field or in the laboratory, where the data (quantitative or qualitative) are analyzed with elegant or simple statistics, as long as the article enhances our understanding of behavior and practice when the research is brought into the field for application. (See the February 2003 issue for the Editorial statement that provides a more detailed mission statement [PDF: 16KB].)

Topics appropriate for the Journal of Applied Psychology include personnel selection, performance measurement, training, work motivation, job attitudes, leadership, drug and alcohol abuse, career development, the conflict between job and family demands, work behavior, work stress, organizational design and interventions, technology, the utility of organizational interventions, and cross-cultural differences in work and behavior attitudes. The specific topics addressed, however, change as a function of societal and organizational change; studies of human behavior in novel situations are also encouraged.


Instructions to Authors

Submission. All efforts should be undertaken to submit manuscripts electronically to the editor. Files can be sent in Microsoft Word, in WordPerfect, or as a PDF file. The version sent should be consistent with the complete APA-style printed version.

Authors without Internet access should submit a disk copy of the manuscript to

Sheldon Zedeck
Editor, Journal of Applied Psychology
Department of Psychology
University of California
Berkeley, CA 94720-1650

General correspondence may be directed to the eval

In addition to addresses and phone numbers, all authors should supply electronic mail addresses and fax numbers, if available, for potential use by the editorial office and later by the production office. All authors should keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss.

Masked review policy. The journal will accept submissions in masked review format only. Each copy of a manuscript should include a separate title page with author names and affiliations, and these should not appear anywhere else on the manuscript. Furthermore, author identification notes should be typed on the title page (see Manual). Authors should make every reasonable effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities. Manuscripts not in masked format will be returned to authors for revision prior to being reviewed.

The review process will be facilitated by the initial quality of the submission. The better developed the manuscript and the better the presentation, the easier it will be to review and the better the feedback its author will receive. It is recommended that authors have colleagues review their manuscripts prior to submission to the journal. The journal will strive to provide decisions and constructive feedback to authors within approximately 2 months of receipt.

Articles submitted for publication in the Journal of Applied Psychology are evaluated according to the following criteria:

  1. significance of the theoretical and methodological contributions
  2. degree to which the manuscript fits the emphasis of the journal
  3. appropriateness of the literature review
  4. adequacy of the design and execution of the study
  5. appropriateness of the analysis
  6. quality of the discussion and interpretation of the results
  7. clarity of presentation
  8. implications for practice

Naturally the article must have an applied focus. In instances where it is not obvious, authors will be asked to provide a paragraph or so that describes the applied implications of the results of the research. Also, articles must be clearly written in concise and unambiguous language and must be logically organized. The goal of APA primary journals is to publish useful information that is accurate and clear.

Manuscript preparation. Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Manuscripts may be copyedited for bias-free language (see chap. 2 of the Publication Manual). Formatting instructions (all copy must be double-spaced) and instructions on the preparation of tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts appear in the Manual. See APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission.

Supplemental materials. APA can now place supplementary materials online, which will be available via the journal's Web page as noted above. To submit such materials, please see Supplementing Your Article With Online Material for details.

Abstract and Keywords. All manuscripts must include an abstract containing a maximum of 125-180 words typed on a separate page. After the abstract, please supply up to five keywords or brief phrases.

References. References should be listed in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the References. Basic formats are as follow:

Fullagar, C. (1986). A factor analytic study on the validity of a union commitment scale. Journal of Applied Psychology, 71, 129-136.

Mitchell, T. R., & Larson, J. R., Jr. (1987). People in organizations: An introduction to organizational behavior (3rd ed.). New York: McGraw-Hill.

Bjork, R. A. (1989). Retrieval inhibition as an adaptive mechanism in human memory. In H. L. Roediger III & F. I. M. Craik (Eds.), Varieties of memory & consciousness (pp. 309-330). Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum.

Figures. Graphic files are welcome if supplied as Tiff, EPS, or Powerpoint. High-quality printouts or glossies are needed for all figures. The minimum line weight for line art is 0.5 point for optimal printing. When possible, please place symbol legends below the figure instead of to the side. Original color figures can be printed in color at the editor’s and publisher’s discretion provided the author agrees to pay $255 for one figure, $425 for two figures, $575 for three figures, $675 for four figures, and $55 for each additional figure.

Two types of articles will be published: (a) Feature Articles, which are full-length articles that focus on an empirical contribution (all research strategies and methods, quantitative and qualitative, are considered) or on a theoretical contribution that has an applied emphasis, and (b) Research Reports, which are original in their empirical or theoretical contribution but smaller or narrower in scope than a Feature Article. Research Reports can also feature important replications or studies that discuss specific applications of psychology. For more information on the content of the Journal, see the February 2003 issue for the Editorial statement (PDF: 16KB).

Authors should refer to recent issues of the journal for approximate length of Feature Articles and Research Reports. (Total manuscript pages divided by 3 provides an estimate of total printed pages.) Research Reports are limited to no more than 17 pages of text proper; these limits do not include the title page, abstract, references, tables, or figures. Different printers, fonts, spacing, margins, and so forth can substantially alter the amount of text that can be fit on a page. In determining the length limits of Research Reports, authors should count 25-26 lines of 12-point text with 1-inch margins as the equivalent of one page.

Authors should indicate whether their manuscript is to be considered as a Feature Article or a Research Report at the time of submission; the editor may suggest that a Feature Article submission be pared down to Research Report length.

For the reader to understand the importance of the research findings, authors should indicate in the Results section of the manuscript the complete outcome of statistical tests, including significance levels, some index of effect size or strength of relationship, and confidence intervals. See pp. 20-26 of the Publication Manual for a more detailed description of what should be reported in the Results section of the manuscript.

Permissions. Authors are required to obtain and provide to the editor on final acceptance all necessary permissions to reproduce in print and electronic form any copyrighted work, including, for example, test materials (or portions thereof) and photographs of people.

Publication policies. APA policy prohibits an author from submitting the same manuscript for concurrent consideration by two or more publications. APA's policy regarding posting articles on the Internet may be found at Posting Articles on the Internet. In addition, it is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13).

As this journal is a primary journal that publishes original material only, APA policy prohibits as well publication of any manuscript that has already been published in whole or substantial part elsewhere. Authors have an obligation to consult journal editors concerning prior publication of any data upon which their article depends.

In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14). APA expects authors submitting to this journal to adhere to these standards. Specifically, authors of manuscripts submitted to APA journals are expected to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.

Authors will be required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment. A copy of the APA Ethical Principles may be obtained electronically or by writing the APA Ethics Office, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242 (or see "Ethical Principles," December 1992, American Psychologist, Vol. 47, pp. 1597-1611).

APA requires authors to reveal any possible conflict of interest in the conduct and reporting of research (e.g., financial interests in a test or procedure, funding by pharmaceutical companies for drug research). Authors of accepted manuscripts will be required to transfer the copyright to APA. The necessary forms for complying with these requirements may be viewed and downloaded at APA's Author's Corner.

Preparing files for production. If your manuscript is accepted for publication, please follow the guidelines for file formats and naming provided at Preparing Your Electronic Files for Production. If your manuscript was mask reviewed, please ensure that the final version for production includes a byline and full author note for typesetting.
