About the journal
This journal is a publication of the International Stress Management Association
The editorial focus of the International Journal of Stress Management® (IJSM) is the assessment, management, and treatment of stress and trauma, whether emotional, cognitive, behavioral, or physiological. Personal, occupational, organizational, and societal issues relevant to stress identification and management are also covered.
IJSM publishes articles that advance theory and practice and promotes methodologically sound research in stress identification and management across disciplines that include psychology and other social sciences, psychiatry, medicine, therapy and other healthcare, business and industry, humanities, arts, education, engineering, and others.
The journal publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed original research — qualitative and/or quantitative empirical, theoretical, historical, and review articles — as well as brief reports, book reviews, and editorials. Contributions to the IJSM come from an international array of scholars and practitioners who come from varied disciplines around the globe.
Manuscripts that advance theory, address real-world issues, expand theory and practice across cultures or regions, and/or take an interdisciplinary approach are encouraged. The Editor also encourages manuscripts linking social or environmental factors, with cognitive processes and physiological responses, as well as articles that address underrepresented populations.
Articles, written by scholars or practitioners, addressing prevention, coping and/or stress management are of particular relevance for this journal.

Instructions to Authors
Submission
International Journal of Stress Management® (IJSM) is now using a software system to screen submitted content for similarity with other published content. The system compares each submitted manuscript against a database of 25+ million scholarly publications, as well as content appearing on the open web.
This allows APA to check submissions for potential overlap with material previously published in scholarly journals (e.g., lifted or republished material). A similarity report will be generated by the system and provided to the International Journal of Stress Management Editorial office for review immediately upon submission.
Submit manuscripts electronically through the Manuscript Submission Portal.
Keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss. Please provide full contact information — authors' addresses, phone numbers, email, and fax numbers — for use by the editorial office and later by the production office. General correspondence may be directed to the Editor's Office.
The editorial focus of IJSM is the assessment, management, and treatment of stress and trauma, whether emotional, cognitive, behavioral, or physiological. Personal, organizational, and societal issues relevant to stress management are also covered.
IJSM is the official journal of the International Stress Management Association (ISMA). ISMA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to working for a less stressful world. It seeks to advance the education of professionals and students and promotes methodologically sound research in stress management across disciplines that include psychology, psychiatry, education, business and industry, medicine, nursing, dentistry, physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.
The journal publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed, original research in the form of empirical, theoretical, historical, review articles and editorials.
Manuscript Length and Elements
The maximum acceptable manuscript length is 35 double-spaced pages for a regular article and 15 double-spaced pages for brief reports — including front matter, references, tables, and figures — in 12-point font.
For manuscripts that exceed these page limits, authors must justify the extended length in their cover letter (e.g., reporting of multiple studies).
All manuscripts must include on separate pages:
- a title page with the authors' names and affiliations at the time the research was done
- author footnotes, which include acknowledgments of support, changes of affiliation since the research was done, and the name and address of the author to whom correspondence should be sent
- an abstract containing a maximum of 250 words, followed, below it, by up to five keywords or brief phrases to assist in indexing
Number all pages serially, including these pages, the text, references, acknowledgments, tables, and figure captions.
Include in a cover letter assurances that the manuscript is not under review elsewhere and that the primary data have not been published previously nor accepted for publication.
Masked Review Policy
Manuscripts will be subject to masked review.
Authors' names and affiliations should appear only on the separate title page and the separate author footnotes page if any; authors should not be identified anywhere else in the manuscript. Authors should make every effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities.
Please ensure that the final version for production includes a byline and full author note for typesetting.
Selecting Reviewers
It is acceptable for an author to suggest individuals qualified to do the reviewing. The Editor encourages authors to nominate possible reviewers for their manuscript, to a maximum of six. Two of these reviewers may be from the IJSM Editorial Board. Authors may also recommend up to two reviewers who are not familiar with their submission.
Nominated reviewers should not have reviewed or provided comments on previous or current manuscripts, teach at your institution, or be co-authors on other manuscripts. Please be sure to address this assurance in your cover letter.
The Editor will make the final selection of all reviewers.
Research Context
IJSM encourages cross-cultural studies, as well as studies from underrepresented cultures. Simply stating that the study is unique because it provides information from a given culture is insufficient.
We strongly encourage ample description of unfamiliar contexts (be it occupational, organizational, and/or national contexts) so as to justify or provide context for the study hypotheses and to help readers make appropriate interpretations of results.
Such brief descriptions should be inserted into the body of the literature review or the "Method" section, as appropriate (e.g., if the context does not guide the hypotheses, the context will be described in the "Method" section).
The subheader for this section should be labeled "Contextual Factors." In cases when the contextual factors need to be highly detailed, author(s) should include them in an Appendix (after the references).
Manuscript Preparation
Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). Manuscripts may be copyedited for bias-free language (see Chapter 3 of the Publication Manual).
Review APA's Checklist for Manuscript Submission before submitting your article.
Double-space all copy. Other formatting instructions, as well as instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, appear in the Manual.
Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations and tables.
Display Equations
We strongly encourage you to use MathType (third-party software) or Equation Editor 3.0 (built into pre-2007 versions of Word) to construct your equations, rather than the equation support that is built into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.
To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:
- Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.
- Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.
If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.
Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.
Tables
Use Word's Insert Table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.
Submitting Supplemental Materials
APA can now place supplementary materials online, available via the published article in the PsycARTICLES® database. Please see Supplementing Your Article With Online Material for more details.
Abstract and Keywords
All manuscripts must include an abstract containing a maximum of 250 words typed on a separate page. After the abstract, please supply up to five keywords or brief phrases.
References
List references in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the References section.

Figures
Graphics files are welcome if supplied as Tiff, EPS, or PowerPoint files. Multipanel figures (i.e., figures with parts labeled a, b, c, d, etc.) should be assembled into one file.
The minimum line weight for line art is 0.5 point for optimal printing.
For more information about acceptable resolutions, fonts, sizing, and other figure issues, please see the general guidelines.
When possible, please place symbol legends below the figure instead of to the side.
Original color figures can be printed in color at the editor's and publisher's discretion provided the author agrees to pay
- $255 for one figure
- $425 for two figures
- $575 for three figures
- $675 for four figures
- $55 for each additional figure
Permissions
Authors of accepted papers must obtain and provide to the editor on final acceptance all necessary permissions to reproduce in print and electronic form any copyrighted work, including, for example, test materials (or portions thereof) and photographs of people.
Publication Policies
APA policy prohibits an author from submitting the same manuscript for concurrent consideration by two or more publications.
See also APA Journals® Internet Posting Guidelines.
APA requires authors to reveal any possible conflict of interest in the conduct and reporting of research (e.g., financial interests in a test or procedure, funding by pharmaceutical companies for drug research).
Authors of accepted manuscripts are required to transfer the copyright to APA.
Ethical Principles
It is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13).
In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14).
APA expects authors to adhere to these standards. Specifically, APA expects authors to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.
Authors are required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment.
The APA Ethics Office provides the full Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct electronically on its website in HTML, PDF, and Word format. You may also request a copy by emailing or calling the APA Ethics Office (202-336-5930). You may also read "Ethical Principles," December 1992, American Psychologist, Vol. 47, pp. 1597–1611.
