Manuscripts should be prepared according to the guidelines in the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.; the manual is available from the APA Book Order Department, P.O. Box 92984, Washington, DC 20090-2984; tel: 800-374-2721; fax: 202-336-5502; online; www.apa.org/books/)
Style: All parts of the manuscripts should be typewritten, double-spaced; with margins of at least one inch on all sides and should be generally no more than 30 pages. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. The front page should include the authors’ full name(s), address(es), title(s), zip code(s), phone number(s), e-mail address(es), and type of software used. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces.
Equations: Center any equations on a separate line, numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers placed in parenthesis in the right margin.
Special Characters: Identify Greek letters in the margin for typesetter. Please make clear markings, in a color other than black, when inserting Greek letters or equations into the text.
Endnotes: Minimize the number of endnotes. Use superscript Arabic numbers in the text and on the endnote page.
Summary: Include a brief article summary, not more than 100 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to text in the abstract. The summary should include five key words that can be used in searches for the article. Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as “derivative reproduction” (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source). All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.
References: Limit references to works cited in the text and list them alphabetically. Use page numbers for quotes. Use periods instead of commas between authors’ names and titles of references. References, endnotes, tables, and figures should appear on separate pages at the end of the text. Citations in the text should appear as ‘‘Smith [1990] suggests that...’’ Prepare reference list in accordance with APA Publication Manual.
