Submission of Manuscripts

The original of each manuscript should be submitted to the editor. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts by email. Files should be prepared using MS Word or WordPerfect and should be clearly labeled with the authors' names, file name, and software program. All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of 150-250 words, which should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate page. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text within the abstract.

All papers, including figures, tables, and references, must conform to the specifications described in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed., 2009). Any papers that do not adhere to this style will be returned for revision.

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. Authors are respon-sible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher.
