The editorial focus of International Journal of Stress Management (IJSM) is the assessment, management, and treatment of stress and trauma, whether emotional, cognitive, behavioral, or physiological. Personal, organizational, and societal issues relevant to stress management are also covered.
IJSM is the official journal of the International Stress Management Association (ISMA). ISMA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to working for a less stressful world. It seeks to advance the education of professionals and students and promotes methodologically sound research in stress management across disciplines that include psychology, psychiatry, education, business and industry, medicine, nursing, dentistry, physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy.
The Journal publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed, original research in the form of empirical, theoretical, historical, review articles and editorials.
The maximum acceptable manuscript length is 30 double-spaced pages—including front matter, references, tables, and figures—in 12-point font.
All manuscripts must include on separate pages:
- a title page with the authors' names and affiliations at the time the research was done;
- 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;
- 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.
Manuscripts will be subject to masked review. Authors' names and affiliations should appear only on the separate title page, and the 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 an author to suggest individuals qualified to do the reviewing.
