About the journal
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders covers all the severe psychopathologies in childhood, including autism and childhood schizophrenia. Original articles discuss experimental studies on the biochemical, neurological, and genetic aspects of a particular disorder; the implications of normal development for deviant processes; and interaction between disordered behavior of individuals and social or group factors. The journal also features research and case studies involving the entire spectrum of interventions (including behavioral, biological, educational, and community aspects) and advances in the diagnosis and classification of disorders.
Instructions to Authors
Online Manuscript Submission. Springer Publishers offers authors, editors and reviewers of Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders the use of our fully web-enabled online manuscript submission and review system. Our online manuscript submission and review system offers efficient reviewing and allows authors to track the status of their manuscript. Manuscripts should be submitted to: http://jadd.edmgr.com. The EM system of the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders offers easy and straightforward log-in and submission procedures. This system supports a wide range of submission file formats: for manuscripts ?Word, WordPerfect, RTF, TXT and LaTex; for figures TIFF, GIF, JPEG, EPS, PPT, and Postscript. PDF files are not accepted. You will proceed from screen to screen to enter information. To speed submission, prepare a file of your entire manuscript, separate files for any tables or figures that cannot be embedded in your text, and your letter or comments to the Editor. You will also be asked to type authors?names, paste your abstract and to supply key words and categories for your manuscript on separate screens within the system. If needed, you should update the order of your elements on this final upload screen. A fdf file of your manuscript will be created for your approval and your review will begin. You should download a copyright transfer form from the EM website prior to log-in—you must scroll down to see this link.
NOTE: If you encounter any difficulties in submitting your manuscript online, please get in touch with the responsible Editorial Assistant by clicking on CONTACT US from the tool bar or by emailing Kathie Barron (Kathie_barron@med.unc.edu ) Assistance with electronic submission will be provided. Assistance will be provided by the system administrator if you do not have electronic files for figures; originals of artwork may be sent to the system administrator to be uploaded. ‹Franchesca.Odiamar@springer.com?Submission by proxy is available through email attachments or mailed disks. Manuscripts which began in the prior conventional-paper system will not be processed in the online system. Revisions of manuscripts prior to JADD-04-200 should not be added to the EM system.
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 Springer Publishers will be required. (For manuscripts submitted in the conventional system, the Editor will supply the necessary forms for this transfer at the time of acceptance. If submission is electronic, the form is available on the website and you should download this prior to login. If the manuscript is rejected, the form is subsequently destroyed.) 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.
Three types of submissions are accepted. Preferably, an Article is 20 -23 manuscript pages or 4500 words. Editors can approve up to 40 pages (references, tables and figures included in the page count) if required to convey the information. A Brief Report is about 8 double spaced pages or 2000 words with the words “Brief Report:…” typed before the title. A Case Report is a kind of brief report. A Letter to the Editor is 500 words or about 2 double spaced pages and can address any short topic such as a current issue, or a previous JADD article. It can also be a manuscript that has been shortened to this length at the advice of reviewers. A Commentary is a form of Letter to the Editor that comments on an article and is usually printed in the same issue, just after the article.
The 2002 Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th Edition) should be used as the style guide for the preparation of manuscripts, particularly with respect to such matters as the order of elements, citing of references, preparation of the reference list, contents of the Author Note, and the use of headings, abbreviations, numbers, and symbols. The APA website also updates authors regarding the latest requirements for electronic references. The JADD Checklist for Authors, found below, contains basic instructions for manuscript preparation. If needed, stylesheet corrections will be requested prior to review.
All accepted articles will be published in a two-tier process. Online First publication will offer authors early publication on the Web. After proofs are approved, each article will receive an international identification code - the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) and an online publication date. Each Online First article will be linked to the Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The second publication stage is print JADD with 8 issues per year. The print issue is released in print and electronic form.
The journal makes no page charges. Reprints and electronic reprints are available to authors, and order forms with the current price schedule are sent with proofs.
Permissions. Authors are required to obtain all necessary permissions to reproduce any copyrighted work including test instruments and materials or portions thereof, figures or tables with prior publication. Authors are also required to obtain permission to publish photographs of people. Questions about permissions should be directed to Springer Permissions (permissions@springer-sbm.com). Permission should be granted for use in print and electronic form. Authors may also request permission to add a website link to their published manuscript.
Authors must adhere to ethical and legal standards described in the APA manual (5th Edition) Appendix C and Appendix D (pages 387-410).

Review your manuscript for these elements
1. Order of manuscript pages [pgs 287, 296-303]
Title Page (separate page, numbered page 1
Abstract (separate page, numbered page 2) with 6 or fewer key words following
Text (start on separate page, numbered page 3.)
Reference List (start on separate page)
Appendix (if included)
Author Note (separate page with centered title)
Footnotes (if needed; list together and start on separate page)
Tables (start each on separate page)
Figure Caption Sheet (list together, starting the list on separate page)
Figures (start each on separate page)
2. Typing Format: Double-spaced, 12 point font, pages numbered consecutively (except for figures). Two words from the Running Head may appear in the header of each page.
The manuscript must contain no markups. This means that authors who have used a change-tracking tool in writing and editing their manuscript must “accept?the tracked changes to make them a permanent part of the manuscript before sending it on to the JADD. Do not merely hide the changes.
If bibliographic software is used to create references, please remove the links. This will make the references free-standing, independent text within the manuscript rather than variable, contingent text that is subject to change via the link to the bibliographic software program. If the footnote or endnote function of your software was used, format the footnote text to begin on a new page following the Author Note page, and replace footnote references with superscript numbers.
*For a brief report, the words “Brief Report:…” appear in the title line just before your title. For a case report, the words “Case Report:…”appear n the title line just before your title. Follow general directions for an article. An Author Note follows the References.
**For a letter, the words, “Letter to the Editor appear in Line 1. A title may be inserted on Line 2. “Dear Editor:appears in line 4. The text begins on line 6. The names of all authors and institutions appear at the end of the text. A list of References follows the authors?names (instructions found in point #8). There may be an Author Note at the end of the document (instructions found in point #9).
***For a commentary, the word “Commentary?appears in line 1 just before the title and text. The names of all authors and institutions appear at the end of the text or references. There is an Author Note at the end of the document.
3. Title Page [pages 10-12]
The Title Page is page 1 and should contain: 1. a full title, 2. the authors' full names and institutional affiliations, and 3. a running head for publication. (see below). The preferred form for author’s name is first name, middle initial (s), and last name. Omit titles and degrees. The institutional affiliation is the location where the study was conducted. Full address for the corresponding author, location of the institutions and current affiliations (if changed since the time of the study) belong in the Author Note. JADD has an open review system (not a blind review) and the title page is required for submission—the data cover sheet created by the EM does not substitute for your title page.
4. Running Head
The running head is an abbreviated title that is printed at the top of the pages of a published article to identify the article for readers. The head should be a maximum of 50 characters, counting letters, punctuation, and spaces between words. Designation of the running head should be placed on the title page as “Running head:? Two words of this running head for publication can be added to the header of the typed manuscript.
5. Abstract [pages 12 -15]
“The abstract should be concise and specific, "Make each sentence maximally informative especially the lead sentence. Be as brief as possible. Abstracts should not exceed 120 words. Begin the abstract with the most important information (but do not waste space by repeating the title). This may be the purpose or thesis or perhaps the results and conclusions. Include in the abstract only the four or five most important concepts, findings, or implications." The abstract is found on page 2. Six or fewer key words should appear one line below the abstract (“Key Words:??). Please note: An abstract is needed for all submissions. Failure to provide an abstract, or providing one that is too long, will delay the publication of your manuscript.
6. Body
The body of the manuscript should begin on a separate page. The manuscript page header (if used) and page number 3 should appear in the upper right corner. Type the title of the paper centered at the top of the page, add a hard return, and then type the text using the format noted above. The body should contain:
Introduction (APA pgs 15-17) (The introduction has no label.)
Methods (APA pgs 17-20) (Center the heading. Use uncentered subheadings such as: Participants, Materials, Procedure.)
Results (APA pgs 20-26) (Center the heading.)
Discussion (APA pgs 26-27) (Center the heading.
7. Reference citations [pgs 207-214]
Citations within the text guide the reader to the correct location on the reference list. Correct citation form is the surname of the authors and the year of publication, which are inserted in the text. For publications with one or two authors, cite one or two names. If there are multiple authors, cite all at first mention and only the first author at subsequent mentions. Separate multiple citations within parentheses with a semicolon.
Basic style:
“Dickens (2003) suggested that cognitive impairments?“In a recent study of cognitive impairments in autism (Dickens, 2003)
8. Reference List format [general forms page 223; 313]
The reference list begins on a separate page with the heading “References?centered at the top. The references should be in alphabetical order, double spaced, with a hanging indent paragraph format (no extra space between references). Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the reference list. Some general forms for references are found on page 223 or electronic references can be seen on pastyle.org?

9. Author Note Page 204-205
The Author note is double spaced and follows the references or appendix. The first paragraph contains a separate phrase for each author’s name and the affiliations of the authors at the time of the study (include region and country). The second paragraph identifies any changes in the author affiliation subsequent to the time of the study and includes region and country (wording: “authors name is now at affiliation?) The third paragraph is Acknowledgments. It identifies grants or other financial support and the source, if appropriate. It is also the place to acknowledge colleagues who assisted in the study and to mention any special circumstances such as the presentation of a version of the paper at a meeting, or its preparation from a doctoral dissertation, or the fact that it is based on an earlier study. The fourth paragraph states, “Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to…” and includes the full address, telephone number and email address of the corresponding author. Fax may be included.
10. Footnotes [300 ?302]
Center the label “Footnotes?at the top of a separate page. Type all content footnotes and copyright permission footnotes together, double-spaced, and numbered consecutively in the order they appear in the article. Indent the first line of each footnote 5-7 spaces. The number of the footnote should correspond to the number in the text. Superscript arabic numerals are used to indicate the text material being footnoted.
11. Tables (pgs. 147 -176)
Tables should be numbered sequentially in the order that they are first mentioned in the text and referred to by number in the text. Each table is identified with the word “Table?and an arabic numeral and a descriptive title. Each table should be inserted on a separate page at the back of the manuscript in the order noted above. A call-out for the correct placement of each table should be included in brackets within the text immediately after the phrase in which it is first mentioned. Copyright permission footnotes for tables are typed as a table note.
12. Figure Caption Sheet [page 302]
The figure caption sheet should follow the tables and precede the figures. It contains a list of the captions for all figures used. Center the label "Figure Captions" in uppercase and lowercase letters at the top of the page. Begin each caption entry flush left, and type the word "Figure", followed by the appropriate number and a period, all in italics. In the text of the caption (not italicized), capitalize only the first word and any proper nouns. If the caption is more than one line, double-space between the lines, and type the second and subsequent lines flush left. Table notes [174-175]: Copyright permission footnotes for figures are typed as part of the figure caption.
13. Figures [pages 176-204]
Each figure should appear on a separate page. The page where the figure is found should have the figure number and the word "top" typed outside the field that will be copied for publication. Figures or illustrations (photographs, drawings, diagrams, and charts) are to be numbered in one consecutive series of arabic numerals. Figures may be embedded in the text of a Word or Wordperfect document. Electronic artwork submitted on disk may be in the TIFF, EPS or Powerpoint format (best is 1200 dpi for line and 300 dpi for half-tones and gray-scale art). Color art should be in the CYMK color space. Assistance will be provided by the system administrator if you do not have electronic files for figures; originals of artwork may be sent to the system administrator to be uploaded. *** After first mention in the body of the manuscript, a call-out for the correct placement of each figure should be included in brackets on a separate line within the text.
14. Callouts
After first mention in the body of the manuscript, a call out for the correct placement of each table and each figure should be included in brackets on a separate line within the text: [place Table 1 about here] or [place Figure 1 about here]. Center the callout and add a hard return before and after your bracketed call-out.
Review your manuscript for these requirements
15. Seriation [Pages 115-116]
A series within a sentence is identified with lowercase letters in parenthesis. A series in separate paragraphs is identified with arabic numerals and followed by a period (not enclosed in parentheses and not bulleted). These items may be considered sequential. They are conceptually parallel (thus, the numbers mean the same as a bullet. Bullets are never used. ).
16. Quotations [pages 292-293, 117-118]
Quotations of fewer than 40 words should be incorporated into the text and enclosed by double quotation marks (“…. Quotations of 40 words or more should be displayed in a double spaced, indented block with no quotation marks. Indent the whole paragraph 5-7 spaces and omit the usual paragraph indent.
17. Abbreviations (pgs 103 -110)
Abbreviations used by psychologists may not be familiar to students or to readers from other disciplines or other countries. Therefore, they should be used sparingly. A term to be abbreviated must be written out completely on its first appearance and followed immediately by its abbreviation in parentheses. Thereafter, the abbreviation may be used in text without further explanation.
Abbreviations in Figures must be explained in the caption or legend.
Abbreviations in Tables must be explained in the table title or in the table note.
Some standard abbreviations do not need to be written out at first use (pgs 106-108).
18. Headings (pgs. 111 - 115). This will guide the use of headings and subheadings (“outline type letters and numbers are not used). Articles with two levels of headings require a level 1 and a level 3. For articles with 3 levels, use Level 1, Level, 3, Level 4. For 4 levels use Levels 1-4.
CENTERED UPPERCASE HEADING –Level 5
(only used if 4 other heading levels exist)
Centered Uppercase and Lowercase Heading Level 1
Centered Italicized, Uppercase and Lowercase Heading Level 2
Flush left, Italicized, Uppercase and Lowercase Side Heading Level 3
Indented, Italicized, lowercase paragraph heading ending with a period. Level 4
Only 3 levels of headings are allowed in the Springer print format.
(Please note: If you would like to use additional heading levels during review, follow APA instructions. However, 4th or 5th levels of headings will be collapsed into the 3rd level when composed for proofs.)
19. Publication of photographs Permission requests are the responsibility of the author and guidance for writing a permission request letter is found in the Publication Manual of the APA (page 333). Permission must be granted for reproduction in both print and electronic form. Please label each permission with the corresponding figure number
Permissions must be attached to your Transfer of Copyright:
-Informed consent, which has been obtained from individuals who have been photographed (391).
-Letter of Permission from the copyright holder, if the photographs were obtained from another source (i.e. a photographer or primary investigator who prepared CD of faces).
If the photographs are not original, text should be added to your figure captions to acknowledge the author and the copyright holder. Often wording is supplied by the copyright holder. If not, you may add copyright information and the phrase “reprinted with permission.(page 175)
