Longer manuscripts will be considered at the discretion of the Editor who may recommend publication as a monograph edition of the Journal or division into sections for publication in successive Journal issues. Full-length articles are refereed by a minimum of two reviewers.
  • MANUSCRIPT STYLE. References, citations, and general style of manuscripts for this Journal should follow the APA style (as outlined in the latest edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). References should be placed in alphabetical order.
  • MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION. Margins leave at least a one-inch margin on all four sides. Paper: use clean white paper. Number of copies: 4 (the original plus three photocopies). Cover page: Important--staple a cover page to the manuscript, indicating only the article title and the ABSTRACT (this is used for anonymous refereeing). Second "title page": enclose a regular title page but do not staple it to the manuscript. Include the title again, plus: • full authorship • ABSTRACT of about 100 words. (Below the abstract provide 3-10 key words for index purposes). • an introductory footnote with authors' academic degrees, Professional titles, affiliations, mailing addresses, and any desired acknowledgment of research support or other credit.
  • SPELLING, GRAMMAR, AND PUNCTUATION. You are responsible for preparing manuscript copy which is clearly written in acceptable grammar and punctuation. Neither the Editor nor the Publisher is responsible for correcting errors of spelling and grammar: the manuscript after acceptance by the Editor, must be immediately ready for typesetting when finally submitted by the author(s).
  • The APA Publication Manual gives explicit instructions on punctuation, spelling, abbreviations, statistical formulae, etc. Check your paper for the following common errors: • dangling modifiers • misplaced modifiers • unclear antecedents • incorrect or inconsistent abbreviations. Also, check the accuracy of all arithmetic calculations, statistics, numerical data, text citations and references. All cited references must be given in full, including the volume, issues, and page numbers.
  • INCONSISTENCIES MUST BE AVOIDED. Be sure you are consistent in your use of abbreviations, terminology, and in citing references, from one part of your paper to another.
  • PREPARATION OF TABLES, FIGURES, AND ILLUSTRATIONS. All tables, figures, illustrations, etc. must be "camera-ready." That is, they must be cleanly typed or artistically prepared so that they can be used either exactly as they are or else used after a photographic reduction in size. Figures, tables, and Illustrations must be prepared on separate sheets of paper. Always use black Ink and professional drawing instruments. On the back of these items, write your article title and the journal title lightly in pencil so they do not get misplaced. In text, skip extra lines and indicate where these figures and tables are to be placed (please do not write on face of art). Photographs are considered part of the acceptable manuscript and remain with Publisher for use in additional printings.
  • ALTERATIONS REOUIRED BY REFEREES AND REVIEWERS. Many times a paper is accepted by the Editor contingent upon changes that are mandated by anonymous specialist referees and members of the Editorial Board. If the Editor returns your manuscript for revisions, you are responsible for retyping any sections of the paper to incorporate these revisions (if applicable, revisions should also be put on disk).
  • TYPESETTING. You will not be receiving galley proofs of your article. Editorial revisions if any must therefore be made while your article IS still in manuscript. The final version of the manuscript will be the version you see published. Typesetter s errors will be corrected by the production staff of The Haworth Press. Authors are expected to submit manuscripts, disks, and art that are free from error.
  • ELECTRONIC MEDIA. Haworth’s in-house type-setting unit is able to utilize your manuscript material as prepared on most personal computers and word processors. This will minimize typographical errors and decrease overall production time lag Please send the first draft and final draft copies of your manuscript to the journal Editor in print format for his/her final review and approval. After approval of your final manuscript, please submit the final approved version both on printed format (hard copy) and floppy diskette. On the outside of the diskette package write: A. the brand name of your computer or word processor B. the word-processing program that you used C. the title of your article, and D. file name. NOTE: Disk and hard copy must agree. In case of discrepancies, it is The Haworth Press policy to follow hard copy. Authors are advised that no revisions of the manuscript can be made after acceptance by the Editor for publication. The benefits of this procedure are many with speed and accuracy being the most obvious. We look forward to working with you on this, knowing we will be able to serve you more efficiently in the future.
