Instructions to Authors
The Journal of Community Psychology is a bimonthly peer-reviewed journal devoted to research, evaluation, assessment, and intervention. Although review articles that deal with human behavior in community settings are occasionally accepted, the journal's primary emphasis is on empirical work that is based in or informs studies to understand community factors that influence, positively and negatively, human development, interaction, and functioning. Articles of interest include descriptions and evaluations of service programs and projects; studies of youth, parenting, and family development; methodological studies for the identification and systematic alteration of risks; and protective factors for emotional and behavioral disorders and for positive development. The journal also publishes the results of projects that inform processes relevant to the design of community-based interventions including strategies for gaining entry, engaging a community in participatory action research, and creating sustainable interventions that remain after project development and empirical work are completed.
Types of manuscripts: Three types of contributions are considered for publication: full-length articles, brief reports of preliminary and pilot studies that have particular heuristic importance and, occasionally, commentaries on conceptual or practical issues related to the discipline's theoretical and methodological foundations. Typically, empirical articles are approximately 30 pages including tables, references, etc; brief reports cannot exceed 12 pages; and commentaries should not, in general, exceed 20 pages. All material submitted will be acknowledged on receipt, assigned a manuscript number, and subject to peer review. Copies of the referees?comments will be forwarded to the author along with the editor's decision. The review process ranges from 12 to 16 weeks, and the journal makes every effort to publish accepted material within 12 months.
Manuscript submission: Hard copy manuscripts should be submitted in triplicate along with a diskette (ideally in Word or WordPerfect) to: Raymond P. Lorion, Ph.D., Editor, Journal of Community Psychology, Towson University, College of Education, 8000 York Road, Towson, MD 21252-0001. E-mail submission (also in Word or WordPerfect format) is acceptable. Authors should submit material (including figures and tables) as an e-mail attachment to rlorion@towson.edu. If the manuscript is accepted, a final, revised version of the accepted manuscript should be submitted on diskette as well as hard copy, using the guidelines in the Disk Submission Instructions, usually included in most issues of the journal. The hard copy must match the disk.
Format of submitted material: Manuscripts must be typed on standard letter-size bond paper (81/2 x 11 in) with adequate margins. All copy, including references and captions, must be typed double-spaced. The first page of the manuscript must bear the title of the paper and the full names of the authors as well as their affiliations, full addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. In the case of multiple authors, please indicate which author is to receive correspondence and proofs. An abstract of 120 words or less is required for articles and brief reports.
Style: Authors should follow the stylistic guidelines detailed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, available from the American Psychological Association, Washington, DC. References should also follow APA style.
Figures: Figures should be professionally prepared and submitted in electronic TIFF or EPS format (if possible) along with high-quality printed hard copies. Good glossy black and white photographs are required for halftone reproduction. Figures should appear at the end of the manuscript, after the text.
Copyright: No article can be published unless accompanied by a signed publication agreement, which serves as a transfer of copyright from author to publisher. A publication agreement may be obtained from the editor or publisher. A copy of the publication agreement appears in most issues of the journal. Only original papers will be accepted and copyright in published papers will be vested in the publisher. It is the author’s responsibility to obtain written permission to reproduce material that has appeared in another publication. A Permission Request Form may be obtained from the editor or the publisher. Additional information on copyrights and permissions is available at the Journal Author's Site of the Wiley website, http://www.wiley.com. Forms can also be downloaded from the journal's For Authors page, see http://www.interscience.wiley.com.
Reprints: Reprints of articles may be ordered form the publisher when the corrected proofs are returned. Authors should return the Reprint Order Forms with the proofs.
Disk Submission Instructions
Please return your final, revised manuscript on disk as well as hard copy.
The hard copy must match the disk.
The Journal strongly encourages authors to deliver the final, revised version of their accepted manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on disk. Given the near-universal use of computer word-processing for manuscript preparation, we anticipate that providing a disk will be convenient for you, and it carries the added advantages of maintaining the integrity of your keystrokes and expediting typesetting. Please return the disk submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled disk(s).
Guidelines for Electronic Submission
Text
Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Adobe PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.
File names. Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Labels. Label all disks with your name, the file name, and the word processing program and version used.
Illustrations
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space. If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Storage medium. Submit as separate files from text files, on separate disks or cartridges. If feasible, full color files should be submitted on separate disks from other image files. 3-1/2" high-density disks, CD, Iomega Zip, and 5 1/4" 44- or 88-MB SyQuest cartridges can be submitted. At authors' request, cartridges and disks will be returned after publication.
Software and format. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
Labels. Label all disks and cartridges with your name, the file names, formats, and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
