Submit manuscripts electronically through the Manuscript Submission Portal.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines

In general, manuscripts should be no longer than 35 pages.

In your cover letter, include:

  1. authors' names and affiliations, with a statement that all authors have agreed to authorship in the indicated order
  2. contact information for the corresponding author
  3. whether or not the research was approved by an institutional review board
  4. a statement that there has been no prior publication, or the nature of any prior publication
  5. any financial interest in the research

Manuscripts concerned with the development of a new assessment instrument should include a copy of the instrument.

General correspondence may be directed to the Editor's Office.

Masked Review

This journal has adopted a masked review policy for all submissions. Authors should make every effort to ensure that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities. Authors' names and affiliations should not appear in the manuscript. Instead, please include this information in just the cover letter.

Brief Reports

Psychological Assessment will review Brief Reports of research studies in clinical assessment. The procedure is intended to permit the publication of carefully designed studies with a narrow focus or of specialized interest.

An author who submits a Brief Report must agree not to submit the full report to another journal of general circulation. The Brief Report should give a clear, condensed summary of the procedure of the study and as full an account of the results as space permits. Brief Reports should be limited to three printed pages.

To ensure that a Brief Report does not exceed three printed pages, set the character/space limit at 90 characters per line and do not exceed 270 lines for text plus references.

These limits do not include the title page, abstract, author note, or footnotes. The number of tables and figures should be limited. The author is encouraged to limit the number of headings within the Brief Report and to combine headings whenever possible. For example, the Results and Discussion sections can be combined. Also, subheadings under the Method section can often be omitted.

Authors are encouraged but not required to have available an extended report. If one is available, the Author Note of the Brief Report should include the following statement:

Correspondence concerning this article (and requests for an extended report of this study) should be addressed to [give the author's full name and address].
