About the journal
The Journal of Family Psychology is devoted to the study of the family system from multiple perspectives and to the application of psychological methods to advance knowledge related to family research, intervention, and policy. The journal encourages the integration of research and practice in the field.
The journal publishes original scholarly articles on topics such as:
- marital and family processes, life stages, transitions, and stress and coping
- health and illness, including physical and mental health and illness across the life span
- marital and family assessment
- marital and family intervention studies
- family-focused prevention programs
- families in transition (separation, divorce, and single parenting; remarriage and the stepfamily; adoption; death)
- family violence and abuse
- employment and the family
- the family and other systems
- ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexual orientation
- methodological and statistical advances
- family policy
- professional issues in family psychology, including training and supervision
The journal's emphasis is on empirical research papers. However, the journal also publishes theoretical and conceptual articles, literature reviews, meta-analyses, case studies, commentaries, and brief reports.

In addition to addresses and phone numbers, authors should supply fax numbers and e-mail addresses for potential use by the editorial office, and later by the production office. Authors should keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss.
Preparing files for production. If your manuscript is accepted for publication, please follow the guidelines for file formats and naming provided at Preparing Your Accepted Manuscript 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 follows:
Morris, J. E., & Coley, R. L. (2004). Maternal, family, and work correlates of role strain in low-income mothers. Journal of Family Psychology, 18, 424-432.
Bowlby, J. (1980). Attachment and loss: Vol. 1. Attachment. New York: Basic Books.
Gottman, J. M. (2001). Meta-emotion, children's emotional intelligence, and buffering children from marital conflict. In C. D. Ryff & B. H. Singer (Eds.), Emotion, social relationships, and health (pp. 23-40). London: Oxford University Press.
Figures. Graphics 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 image instead of to the side. Original color figures can be printed in color at the editor's and publisher's discretion and provided the author agrees to pay half of the associated production costs; an estimate of these costs is available from the APA production office on request.
Permissions. Authors are required to obtain and provide to the editor on final acceptance all necessary permissions to reproduce any copyrighted work, including, for example, test instruments and other test materials or portions thereof. Final files for production should be prepared as outlined in Preparing Your Accepted Manuscript for Production.
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 from the APA Ethics Office web site or by writing the APA Ethics Office, 750 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242. 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 copyright to APA.
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 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.
Article requirements. Research manuscripts should not exceed a total of 25-30 double-spaced pages typed with a standard font (e.g., Times New Roman 12 point). Requests for consideration of longer papers may be made in the cover letter, providing justification for the additional length. Manuscripts exceeding this requirement will be returned to the author for shortening prior to peer review. Review and theoretical manuscripts provide creative integrative summaries of an area of work relevant to family psychology. The text (exclusive of references) should not exceed 25 pages. Brief reports are encouraged for innovative work that may be premature for publication as a full research report because of small sample size or novel methodologies. Brief reports are also an appropriate format for replications and for clinical case studies. Authors of brief reports should indicate in the cover letter that a full report is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Brief reports should be designated as such and should not exceed a total of 12 pages.
All research involving human participants should describe oversight of the research process by the relevant Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) and should describe consent and assent procedures briefly in the Method section.
The translation of research into practice should be evident in all manuscripts. Authors should intertwine a discussion of the clinical and/or policy implications and importance of their work throughout the manuscript. Authors should not include a separate section for this material. For further information on content, authors should refer to the editorial in the March 2004 issue of the journal (Vol. 18, No. 1, pp. 3-4).
Masked review. This journal has adopted a policy of masked review for all submissions. The cover letter should include all authors' names and institutional affiliations. The first page of text should omit this information but should include the title of the manuscript and the date it is submitted. Every effort should be made to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to the authors' identity.
Cover letter. Authors should indicate in their cover letter that the work has not been published previously and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The relationship of the submitted manuscript with other publications and/or submissions of the author, if any, should be explained. The cover letter should include a statement indicating that the manuscript has been seen and reviewed by all authors and that all authors have contributed to it in a meaningful way.
Authors may suggest potential reviewers for their work, to be used at the editor's discretion. Suggested reviewers should not have any known conflict of interest with the authors or the work. Full names, title and institution, and e-mail addresses for suggested reviewers should be provided in the cover letter.
The cover letter must include the full mailing address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address for the corresponding author.
