About the journal
Articles in the Journal of Memory and Language contribute to the formulation of scientific issues and theories in the areas of memory, language comprehension and production, and cognitive processes. Special emphasis is given to research articles that provide new theoretical insights based on a carefully laid empirical foundation. In addition, significant theoretical papers without new experimental findings may be published.
The Journal of Memory and Language is a valuable tool for cognitive scientists, including psychologists, linguists, and others interested in memory and learning, language, reading, and speech.
Research Areas include:
 Topics that illuminate aspects of memory or language processing
Artificial intelligence
Linguistics
Neuropsychology
Instructions to Authors
Submission of Manuscripts
Manuscripts must be written in English and should be submitted in electronic form at initial submission and each time a version is submitted. PDF, PostScript, or DVI files are preferred and may be sent via computer disk, e-mail (jml@elsevier.com), or FTP (ftp.elsevier.com, with username anon and password essd4acc). Please note, however, that an editable file is needed for production purposes after acceptance. Submission as an e-mail attachment is acceptable provided that all files are included in a single archive the size of which does not exceed 2 megabytes. Authors are requested to include in their electronic submission a cover letter and all ancillary materials. One hard-copy printout of the manuscript and art that exactly matches the electronic file must be supplied. If an electronic version is not available, five complete copies of the manuscript, including five sets of good-quality figures, should be submitted to:

The names of authors will be withheld from referees if requested. In such cases, authors' names should be removed from the title page and the author notes. There are no submission fees or page charges.
Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that the same work has not been and is not currently submitted elsewhere, and that it will not be submitted elsewhere prior to an editorial decision. Moreover, submission of the article has been approved by all of the authors and by the institution where the work was carried out, and any person cited as a source of personal communications has approved such citation. Written authorization may be required at the Editor's discretion. Articles and any other material published in Journal of Memory and Language represent the opinions of the author(s) and should not be construed to reflect the opinions of the Editor(s) and the Publisher. Manuscripts that do not meet the general criteria or standards for publication in Journal of Memory and Language will be immediately returned to the authors, without detailed review.
Copyright
Authors submitting a manuscript do so on the understanding that if it is accepted for publication, copyright in the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the Publisher. The Copyright Transfer Agreement should be signed by the appropriate person(s).
Authors are responsible for obtaining permissions to reprint previously published figures, tables, and other material. Letters of permission should accompany the final submission.
Preparation of Manuscript
Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout on one side of 8.5 x 11-inch or A4 white paper. Authors are requested to follow the instructions given in the most recent edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association . Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:
The Title Page (p. 1) should contain the article title, author(s) name(s) (without degrees) and complete affiliation(s), footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence (including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers).
The Abstract (p. 2) must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in 100-150 words. After the abstract a list of approximately six keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
The Introduction should be as concise as possible.
Materials and methods should be sufficiently detailed to enable the research to be reproduced. Stimulus lists should be provided (typically in an Appendix) for any study in which properties of the stimuli are at issue. This will almost always be the case when a critical comparison is based on a between-items test, and will often be true under other conditions as well.
Results and Discussion may be combined and may be organized into subheadings.
Abbreviations should be avoided unless they are in standard English usage (found in a dictionary) or well-known statistical abbreviations (e.g., ANOVA). Even when an abbreviation is well known, spell out the term the first time it is used and follow it with the abbreviation in parentheses.
Footnotes should follow APA standards and should be used only when absolutely necessary.
Statistical tests must be cited according to standard form of the journal. Consult recent issues for examples. Authors should provide appropriate measures of variability such as confidence intervals, standard errors, or mean squares.
References in the text should be cited by author's surname and the year of publication. References cited in the text should be listed alphabetically and typed double-spaced at the end of the article. Journal titles should be written out in full according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Corporation. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text. Please note the following examples:
Burling, B. (1992). Patterns of language: Structure, variation, change. San Diego: Academic Press.
Carpenter, P. A., Miyake, A., & Just, M. A. (1994). Working memory constraints in comprehension: Evidence from individual differences, aphasia, and aging. In M. A. Gernsbacher (Ed.), Handbook of psycholinguistics (pp. 1075-1122). San Diego: Academic Press.

Figures
Figures should be in a finished form suitable for publication. For hard-copy versions, number figures consecutively with Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors on the back of each figure. Lettering should be generated by high-resolution computer graphics and must be large enough to withstand appropriate reduction for publication. Please refer to http://authors.elsevier.com/ArtworkInstructions.html?dc=AI1 for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.
Figures that can convey the necessary information in standard black-and-white should be the default, but full color reproduction is available for figures that require this feature (e.g., standard representations of various neuroimaging results). Mounted color figures must be submitted on paper or flexible board due to the nature of the reproduction process.
Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title typed directly above and with essential footnotes below. Authors should submit complex tables as camera-ready copy.
Proofs will be sent to the corresponding author. To avoid delay in publication, only necessary changes should be made, and proofs should be returned promptly. Authors will be charged for alterations that exceed 10% of the total cost of composition.
Reprints
Twenty-five reprints will be provided to the corresponding author free of charge. Additional reprints may be ordered on the form accompanying the proofs.
JML Style Guidelines
1. Abbreviations: Avoid any but those in standard English usage (found in dictionary) or well-known statistical abbreviations (e.g., ANOVA). Even when an abbreviation is well known, spell out the term the first time it is used, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses.
2. Abstract: Keep to 100-150 words; use a single paragraph.
3. Appendixes: List stimuli in an appendix when appropriate; consider listing item means as well. Text format is preferred to table format for appendixes. If tables are necessary, they should not be highly structured.
4. Author Notes: Don't acknowledge the action editor for doing his/her job. Colleagues and reviewers may of course be acknowledged.
5. Equipment: Give details only when they are important for replication (e.g., there is usually no need to specify the brand of computer).
6. Figures: The Publisher prefers to receive electronic files of all artwork, but high-quality print (no dot matrix) is acceptable. Figure number and title should be on a separate page, not on the figure itself.
7. Footnotes: Incorporate into text whenever possible.
8. Headings: Use appropriate levels of headings; see APA Manual for details.
9. Keywords: List 3 to 6 keywords after the Abstract for use by online search engines and by abstracting and indexing services.
10. Participants: The term "participants" is preferred to "subjects." Information that pertains to the participants in more than one experiment should be given just once (e.g., "The participants in this and the following experiments were native speakers of English with no reported history of speech or hearing difficulties.")
11. Phonetic notation: Use the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet.
12. References: In text, use "and"; in parentheses, use "&"; in parentheses, cite in alphabetical order. Include page numbers for book chapters, but don't include issue numbers for journals. Make sure to double check that all references in the text are in the reference list and vice versa.
13. Spacing: Double space throughout, including tables, references, and footnotes.
14. Statistics: Provide information on variability as well as means. Unless of particular theoretical interest, nonsignificant effects should be mentioned in passing (e.g., "remaining effects were not significant"), without detailed statistics.
15. Tables: Incorporate those with very few numbers into text; make sure decimals are aligned; minimize use of abbreviations (explain abbreviations within table notes); combine tables when possible (e.g., report data on two dependent measures in relation to same independent variables in a single combined table). Each table should have its own number (no Table 5a or Table 5b). Make sure that all of the tables are cited in the text and that all tables are included.
