Instructions to Authors

The Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (JCCAP) is the official journal for the Society of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, American Psychological Association, Division 53. It publishes original contributions on the following topics: (a) development and evaluation of assessment and intervention techniques for use with clinical child and adolescent populations; (b) studies on the development and maintenance of clinical child and adolescent problems; (c) studies focusing on cross-cultural and sociodemographic issues that have a clear bearing on clinical child and adolescent psychology in terms of theory, research, or practice; and (d) training and professional practice in clinical child and adolescent psychology as well as child advocacy. Manuscripts that discuss theoretical and/or methodological issues on topics pertinent to clinical child and adolescent psychology also are considered. Authors need not be members of Division 53 to submit articles to the Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology.

Style of Manuscripts. Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). Typing instructions, including format, organization, and the preparation of figures, tables and references appear in the Manual. Manuscripts should not exceed 30 pages, including references, footnotes, figures, and tables. Excessively long manuscripts will be returned as well as manuscripts that are not prepared according to the guidelines in the Manual.

Publication Policies. Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work and for obtaining permission from copyright owners to use a lengthy quotation (500 words or more) or to reprint or adapt a table or figure published elsewhere. Authors should write to both author(s) and publisher of such material to request nonexclusive world rights in all language for use in the article and in future editions of it. Authors are required to include a statement in a cover letter indicating that the findings reported have not been previously published and that the manuscript is not being simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

In recognition of the special vulnerabilities of children as participants in research, the Method section of all manuscripts needs to indicate how informed consent was obtained in the study. Authors also are required to include a statement in their cover letter indicating that they have complied with the American Psychological Association's ethical standards in the treatment of their sample.

Abstracts. The second page of all manuscripts must contain an abstract. (The first page is the Title page.) The abstract should be no longer than 1,000 characters (count spaces between words).

Brief Reports. The Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology will accept Brief Reports of research studies in clinical child and adolescent psychology. Brief Reports are intended to permit the publication of soundly designed studies, but that are of specialized interest or narrow focus. Authors who submit Brief Reports are required to include a statement in their cover letter indicating that they agree not to submit the full report to another journal of general circulation.

The Brief Report should give a clear, succinct summary of the study's procedure and as full an account of the results as space permits. Brief Reports should have a limit of 60 characters per line and should not exceed 410 lines for text and references. These limits do not include the title page, abstract, author note, footnotes, tables, and figures. The number of tables, figures, and headings should be limited. Subheadings under the Method section can be omitted, and the Results and Discussion sections can be combined.

Submitting Manuscripts. JCCAP is now using an online submission and review system, Editorial Manager, through which authors submit manuscripts and track their progress up until acceptance for publication. Authors will enter pertinent information into the system and submit the following files: (a) Cover letter file, containing any comments to the editor as well as a statement indicating that the findings reported have not been previously published and that the manuscript is not being simultaneously submitted elsewhere. (b) Manuscript file, containing the entire text of the article, including abstract, all text, references, footnotes, and appendixes. Figures and tables may either be included at the end of this file or submitted separately. (c) Figures and tables, which may be submitted as separate files if desired.

Please log onto http://www.editorialmanager.com/jccap for information and instructions regarding registration and manuscript submission.

Masked Review. A masked review procedure will be used on all submitted manuscripts. To prepare manuscripts for masked review, authors' names and affiliations should not appear on the title page or elsewhere in the manuscript file (they can be keyed into the system and placed on a separate page in the cover letter file). Footnotes identifying the authors should be typed on a separate page and submitted in the cover letter file. Authors should make every effort to ensure that the manuscript file itself contains no clues to their identities. Manuscripts that do not comply with these instructions will be returned to the authors.

Production Procedures. After a manuscript is accepted for publication, authors are asked to submit a final version of the manuscript. Files are copyedited, typeset into page proofs, and e-mailed to authors. Authors are responsible for reading of proofs and to correct errors and answer editors' queries.
