Electronic submissions will not be accepted. For detailed submission guidelines please click on the Publication guidelines.pdf. Manuscripts not following specifications listed on the Web site will be returned to the author(s). The editors conduct a double-blind, peer-review process; therefore, authors must exclude their names, institutions, and clue to authors' identities from within the text of the manuscript.

Length, Typing, Style: Manuscripts must be typed or word-processed. The title should appear at the top of the first page. A manuscript, including all references, tables, and figures, should be 20-30 pages in length. Authors should keep tables and figures to a minimum and include them at the end of the text. All text, including titles, headings, references, quotations, figure captions, and tables, must be typed double-spaced with one-inch margins all around. All pages must be numbered. Any abbreviations and acronyms not well known to the average reader should be explained. For writing, editorial style, and references, authors must follow the guidelines in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Fifth Edition).

Abstract and Cover Page: All general and researched manuscripts must include an abstract. Abstracts describing the essence of the manuscript must be 100-150 words and be typed double-spaced on a separate page. On the cover page, authors must include their name(s), title, institution, mailing address, daytime phone number(s), fax number, email address, and a brief (10 words of fewer) description(s) of area(s) of specialization.
