For potential use by the editorial office and later by the production office, the corresponding author should supply:

  • Email address
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Fax number
  • Affiliation

For all other authors, please supply names, email addresses and affiliations.

Submit manuscripts in either Microsoft Word (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf) and keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss.

Manuscript Length and Style

Full-length manuscripts should not exceed 25 pages total (including cover page, abstract, text, references, tables, and figures), with margins of at least 1 inches on all sides and a standard font (e.g., Times New Roman) of 12 points (no smaller). The entire paper (text, references, tables, etc.) must be double spaced.

For general guidelines to style, authors should study articles previously published in the journal. They should note that the readership of Professional Psychology: Research and Practice consists of psychologists from a broad range of subspecialties engaged mainly in practice, and some in training careers.

The introduction of the manuscript should be written to anchor the topic in the experiential world of these readers. The final section should be an implications and applications section, which provides concrete and usable information that can be used in everyday clinical practice or in training programs. Additional writing guidelines are available on this Web site.

Masked Review Policy

Professional Psychology: Research and Practice uses a masked reviewing system. In order to permit anonymous review, all authors' names, affiliations, and contact information should be removed from the manuscript itself and included instead in the submittal letter. Every effort should be made by the authors to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities.
