Psychological Services, the official publication of the Division of Psychologists in Public Service (Division 18), encourages submission of papers that focus on broad issues related to psychotherapy outcomes, evaluations of psychological service programs and systems, and public policy analyses.

Psychological Services will also publish a limited number of significant literature reviews, descriptions of training for psychologists for work in public service settings, and case studies of psychological services, service delivery systems, or model programs.

Manuscripts

All manuscripts must include on separate pages:

1. a title page with the author's name and affiliation at the time the research was done
2. author footnotes, which include acknowledgments of support, changes of affiliation since the research was done, and the name and address of the author to whom correspondence should be sent;
3. an abstract containing a maximum of 180 words, followed, below it, by up to five keywords or brief phrases to assist in indexing

Number all pages serially, including these pages, the text, references, acknowledgments, tables, and figure captions.

Include in a cover letter assurances that the manuscript is not under review elsewhere and that the primary data have not been published previously nor accepted for publication.

Masked Review Policy

Manuscripts will be subject to masked review. Authors' names and affiliations should appear only on the separate title page, and separate author footnotes page if any; authors should not be identified anywhere else in the manuscript. Authors should make every effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities. It is acceptable for authors to suggest individuals qualified to do the reviewing.
