Manuscript Submission
Please submit manuscripts via our new online submission site at http://www.s-r-a.org/jrasubmit. Complete instructions may be found on this site. Please contact Detra Davis, Managing Editor via email with any questions (jradol@umich.edu).
Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Any manuscript not in this style will automatically be returned to the author. Type all components double-spaced, including title page, abstract, text, quotes, acknowledgements, references, appendices, tables, figure captions, and footnotes. The abstract should be 100-150 words, typed on a separate sheet of paper. Send only copies of figures on first submission; glossy prints (numbered lightly on the back of each figure) should be submitted only with final revision of accepted manuscript. Authors must use nonsexist language in their articles. For information on this requirement, read "Guidelines for Nonsexist Language in APA Journals," which appeared in the June 1977 issues of the American Psychologist or consult the Manual. All manuscripts submitted will be acknowledged promptly. Authors should keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss. If not already described in the manuscript, a document describing the content and psychometric properties of any instruments used in the research but not well-established in the literature should be included with the manuscript at the time of submission.
Permissions
Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work and for obtaining permission from copyright owners to reprint or adapt a table or figure or to reprint a quotation of 500 words or more. Authors should write to original author(s) and publisher to request nonexclusive world rights in all languages to use the material in the article and in future editions. Provide copies of all permissions and credit lines obtained.
Regulations
Only original manuscripts, written in English, are considered. The corresponding author for a manuscript must, in an accompanying cover letter, warrant that all co-authors are in agreement with the content of the manuscript and that the study was conducted in accordance with the ethical standards of the American Psychological Association. Authors should also state that the findings reported in the manuscript have not been published previously and that the manuscript is not being simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Upon acceptance, the authors are required to sign a publication agreement transferring the copyright from the author to the Society for Research on Adolescence. Accepted manuscripts become the permanent property of the journal. A statement of Editorial Policy appeared in Volume 1, Number 1.
Manuscript Review
The Journal of Research on Adolescence has a Board of Editors that is vested with control over manuscript review and publication. Manuscripts are reviewed by the Editor and the Board of Editors and by invited reviewers with special competence in the area represented by the manuscript. Articles and reviews must be judged to be of substantial importance to the broad, multidisciplinary readership of the journal as well as meet a high level of scientific acceptability. A first level of review determines the importance and appropriateness of submissions to the journal readership at large in conjunction with scientific merit; on this basis, the Board of Editors decides whether the manuscript will be reviewed further.
A system of blind reviewing is used. It is the author's responsibility to remove information about the identity of the author(s) and affiliation(s) from the manuscript; such information should appear on the cover sheet. The cover sheet will not be included when a manuscript is sent out for review. The Board member responsible for a manuscript will have the discretion to integrate solicited review with the member's own opinions and recommendations into a determinative response. The Editor retains the right to reject manuscripts that do not meet established ethical standards. The Publications Officer regrets that, in case of rejection, manuscripts cannot be returned.
There is no charge for publication in the Journal of Research on Adolescence unless tabular or graphic materials exceed 10% of the total number of pages. Charges are also levied for changes in proof other than correction of printer's errors. Any inquiries relating to business matters (including reprint orders) should be addressed to the publisher:
