About the journal
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology provides a forum for the presentation of conceptual, methodological, policy, and research studies involved in the application of behavioral science research in developmental and life span psychology. The Journal publishes quality papers from an interdisciplinary perspective focusing on a broad array of social issues.
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual's behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly, the Journal demonstrates how knowledge gained from research can be applied to policy making and to educational, clinical, and social settings.
Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology is intended as a forum for communication about empirical research with a bearing on human development. Articles describing empirical research from social and behavioral disciplines with application to life-span developmental issues are appropriate. Conceptual and methodological reviews and position papers that facilitate the application of research results to social, educational, clinical, and other settings are also welcome. Discussion of intervention or policy issues or recommendations are appropriate when data based.
Review of manuscripts: To prepare for blind review, authors should remove any identifying information from the manuscript. All information pertaining to identification, title, institutional affiliation, etc. should be on a cover page and only the title of the manuscript should appear on the first page of the manuscript.
Articles submitted must contain original material that has not been published and that is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Papers accepted by the journal may not be published elsewhere in any language without the consent of the Publisher. Authors should indicate that the research presented has been approved by their local institutional human subjects review board.
Submission to the journal prior to acceptance
Authors should submit their articles electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) page of this journal http://ees.elsevier.com/jadp. The system automatically converts source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail and via the Author's homepage at the EES website removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail. Questions about the appropriateness of a manuscript for The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology should be directed (prior to submission) to Editors Ann McGillicuddy-De Lisi and Merry Bullock at jadp@lafayette.edu
Arrangement of the manuscript
Cover Page. Provide the following data on the Cover Page only (in the order given).
Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
Title Page. Provide the Title, followed by:
Abstract. A concise and factual abstract is required (100 - 175 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.
Keywords. Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Presentation of manuscript
Please write your text in clear English (American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these). Italics are not to be used for expressions of Latin origin, for example, in vivo, et al., per se. Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above). Use clear heading and paragraph markings. The usual headings (which may include subheadings) are Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion.
Please avoid full justification, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin. Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the end of the manuscript. If possible, consult a recent issue of the journal to become familiar with layout and conventions. Number all pages consecutively.
Presentation. The manuscript should be double-spaced, including quotations, footnotes, references, and tables.
Abbreviations. Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field at their first occurrence in the article: in the abstract but also in the main text after it. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.
N.B. Acknowledgements. Collate acknowledgements, including grant and other support for the research, in a separate section that follows the text of the article and precedes the references. Donot, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise.
Tables, Figure legends, figures, schemes. Present these, in this order, at the end of the article, following the references. They are described in more detail below. High-resolution graphics files must always be provided separate from the main text file (see Electronic Illustrations).
Specific remarks
Use of 'gender' vs. 'sex' . 'Gender' is a term to refer to social categories and is referenced by the terms masculine and feminine. 'Sex' is a term to refer to a differentiation based on male-female. Therefore comparisons between males and females (or boys and girls) should be refereed to with the term "sex" unless their masculine and feminine traits are part of the classification.
Terms denoting ethnicity: When describing race/ethnic group we request that authors use terms designating ethnicity (e.g., African-American, African-Caribbean, Anglo-American, Hispanic-American, Asian-American, Chinese-American ) instead of terms designating race (e.g., White, Black ) to refer to participants in your own study and in studies reported in your paper whenever feasible. We recognize that in describing procedures and results, authors will need to use the terms that they used in their studies so references to skin color (White, Black) may remain.
Tables. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
Preparation of supplementary data. Elsevier now accepts electronic supplementary material to support and enhance your scientific research. Supplementary files offer the author additional possibilities to publish supporting applications, movies, animation sequences, high-resolution images, background datasets, sound clips and more. Supplementary files supplied will be published online alongside the electronic version of your article in Elsevier web products, including ScienceDirect: http://www.sciencedirect.com. In order to ensure that your submitted material is directly usable, please ensure that the material provided is in one of our recommended file formats. Authors should submit the material in electronic format together with the article and supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. For more detailed instructions please visit our Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com. Files can be stored on 3? inch diskette, ZIP-disk or CD (either MS-DOS or Macintosh).
Citations in the text. Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Citations in the text should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association. You are referred to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition, ISBN 1-55798-790-4, copies of which may be ordered from http://www.apa.org/books/4200061.html or APA Order Dept., P.O.B. 2710, Hyattsville, MD 20784, USA or APA, 3 Henrietta Street, London, WC3E 8LU, UK. Details concerning this referencing style can also be found at http://linguistics.byu.edu/faculty/henrichsenl/ apa/apa01.html
Citing and listing of web references. As a minimum, the full URL should be given. Any further information, if known (author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
References : Follow APA style. Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors
List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.

Formats
Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalised, please "save as" or convert the images to one of the following formats (Note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below.):
EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as "graphics".
TIFF: Colour or greyscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (colour or greyscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.
DOC, XLS or PPT: If your electronic artwork is created in any of these Microsoft Office applications please supply "as is".
Line drawings
Supply high-quality printouts on white paper produced with black ink. The lettering and symbols, as well as other details, should have proportionate dimensions, so as not to become illegible or unclear after possible reduction; in general, the figures should be designed for a reduction factor of two to three. The degree of reduction will be determined by the Publisher. Illustrations will not be enlarged. Consider the page format of the journal when designing the illustrations.
Photocopies are not suitable for reproduction. Do not use any type of shading on computer-generated illustrations.
Photographs (halftones)
Please supply original photographs for reproduction, printed on glossy paper, very sharp and with good contrast. Remove non-essential areas of a photograph. Do not mount photographs unless they form part of a composite figure. Where necessary, insert a scale bar in the illustration (not below it), as opposed to giving a magnification factor in the legend.
Note that photocopies of photographs are not acceptable.
