Description
ANNOUNCEMENT
We are pleased to announce that a new electronic submission and handling system, EES, has been implemented for New Ideas in Psychology. This 'Elsevier Editorial System' (or EES) is a web-based system with full online submission, review and status update capabilities. EES allows you to upload files directly from your computer. This is part of our on-going efforts to improve the efficiency and accuracy of our editorial procedures and the quality and timeliness of the manuscripts published. We strongly encourage all authors to use EES at the following URL when submitting papers to the journal. EES can be accessed at http://ees.elsevier.com/newideas. (First time users will need to register).
New Ideas in Psychology is a journal for theoretical psychology in its broadest sense. We are looking for new and seminal ideas, from within Psychology and from other fields that have something to bring to Psychology. We welcome presentations and criticisms of theory, of background metaphysics, and of fundamental issues of method, both empirical and conceptual. We put special emphasis on the need for informed discussion of psychological theories to be interdisciplinary. Empirical papers are accepted at New Ideas in Psychology, but only as long as they focus on conceptual issues and are theoretically creative. We are also open to comments or debate, interviews, and book reviews.

Instructions to Authors
Guide for Authors
Submission of Papers
All papers must be in English.
All papers should be submitted online. Authors should visit the submission page for New Ideas in Psychology at http://ees.elsevier.com/newideas where they will be guided through the steps of creating and uploading the files, including text, tables, illustrations, and any supplementary material. Once the uploading is done, our system automatically generates an electronic proof in PDF format, which is used for reviewing. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revisions, will be by email.
Authors should address questions about the submission process to Robert L. Campbell at campber@clemson.edu.
Submission of a paper implies that it contains original unpublished work; that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; and that if accepted it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the publisher.
Readers outside the field of psychology should be able to appreciate the significance of articles published in New Ideas in Psychology. Therefore, a special effort should be made to insure clarity; jargon and wordiness should be avoided.
Types of Contributions
Several types of article are included in New Ideas in Psychology. In addition to full-length articles on matters of theory or method, we publish briefer discussion papers and interviews, and brief peer commentaries or rebuttals.
Manuscript Preparation
General: Manuscripts must be submitted in electronic form, along with a cover letter or email stating the author or authors' reasons for seeking publication in New Ideas. The corresponding author should be identified on the title page of the manuscript. Full email and postal addresses must be given for all authors and co-authors, along with telephone and fax numbers for the corresponding author.
Manuscripts must follow the conventions specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). The manual can be ordered from the American Psychological Association, 750 First Street NE, Washington DC 20002-4242 USA or online at http://www.apastyle.org
Articles in New Ideas use American English spelling and punctuation. The standard reference is the Third Edition of Webster's Unabridged Dictionary.
Reviewers: Manuscripts must be accompanied with the author's nomination of at least two potential reviewers, with full contact information and a brief description of their relevance to the paper.
Paper Length: Papers should not exceed 7500 words. Discussion papers and interviews should not exceed 2500 words. Rebuttals and peer commentaries should not exceed 1000 words. Exceptions to these length guidelines can be granted in special cases.
Abstracts: Papers should include an abstract of no more than 150 words.
Keywords: Immediately following the abstract, authors should include up to six keywords. Keywords should be selected from the American Psychological Association "Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms," unless otherwise agreed with the Editor. In addition, authors should provide at least one code from the APA's "PsycINFO Categories and Codes" (at http://www.apa.org/psycinfo/about/classcodes.html). The phrase "PsycINFO classification" should be followed by the appropriate 4-digit code or codes.
Text: Please follow this order when preparing manuscripts: Title, Authors, and Affiliations on a title page; Abstract, Keywords, and PsycINFO Classification on a separate page; then the Main text, followed by Acknowledgements, Appendix, References, Figure Captions and finally Tables and Figures. The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote on the title page. All other footnotes (except for footnotes on tables) should be identified with superscript Arabic numbers.
References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. The list of references should go in alphabetical order by author's name. Journal titles should not be abbreviated. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
References should conform to the models presented in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. For example:
Paivio, A. (1975). Perceptual comparisons through the mind's eye. Memory and Cognition, 4, 635-647.

Sher, G. Y. (1991). The bounds of logic. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press.
Illustrations: All illustrations should be professionally drawn, or computer generated to a comparable standard. They should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and referred to in the text.
Tables: Tables should be numbered consecutively in the text (with Arabic numerals) and given a suitable caption. Footnotes to tables should be below the table and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript (for instance, in graphs).
Formulae in the text and mathematical symbols: Avoid superposition of symbols (fractions or complicated exponents) which would necessitate a greater space between the lines; when superposition cannot be avoided place the expression on a separate line.
Supplementary material: Elsevier and New Ideas in Psychology invite authors of articles submitted for publication to provide supplementary material in electronic form. Supplementary material does not appear in the print version of an article but can be found online on ScienceDirect ( http://www.sciencedirect.com). Video clips, animations, and color photos are some examples of supplementary material.
Supplementary material is an integral part of a journal article (though it will be included only in the online version) and will be sent to the reviewers along with the manuscript. The material needs to be presented in an electronic format that is readily accessible to the community. To make sure that your submitted material is directly usable, please provide the data 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, click on "Artwork instructions," and then click on "Multimedia files."
Permissions: Authors are responsible for obtaining permission from copyright owners if they use an illustration, table, or lengthy quote from material that has been published elsewhere. Authors should write to both the publisher and the author of material that they are asking permission to reproduce.
Proofs
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author by PDF wherever possible and should be returned within 48 hours of receipt, preferably by email. Corrections to anything besides printer's errors may be charged to the author.
Copyright
All authors must sign the "Transfer of Copyright" agreement before the article can be published. This transfer agreement enables Elsevier Ltd. to protect the copyrighted material for the authors, without the author relinquishing his or her proprietary rights. The copyright transfer covers the exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the article, including reprints, photographic reproductions, microfilm or any other reproductions of a similar nature, and translations. It also includes the right to adapt the article for use in conjunction with computer systems and programs, including reproduction or publication in machine-readable form and incorporation in retrieval systems.
