When submitting a manuscript electronically, the author should type their abstract directly into the Abstract text box in the submission form or save their abstract as a text file and copy and paste it from that file. Any special formatting (from a Word document, for example) will be lost when the form is submitted.
The editorial policy of the Journal encompasses integrative articles containing multiple experiments as well as articles reporting single experiments. The Journal also publishes Observations, Comments, and Brief Reports. Please note that Brief Reports are limited to 3,000 to 5,000 words in length (including references, excluding abstract and footnotes).
For additional information about content, authors should refer to the editorial in the January 2007 issue of the Journal (PDF format: 21KB).
Your cover letter must include the following information:
- Contact information for each author, including valid e-mail address, affiliation, mailing address, as well as phone and fax numbers.
- Type of article (comment, brief report, or regular article).
- A statement that your manuscript is original, not previously published, and not under concurrent consideration elsewhere.
If your cover letter does not contain this information, you will receive a written request from JEP: LMC asking for a revised cover letter.
Once an author has submitted their manuscript through the submission portal, an e-mail acknowledging receipt of the manuscript will be sent to the corresponding author. If this acknowledgement e-mail does not reach the corresponding author in a few days of submitting the manuscript, please contact
Emma K. Tsai.
Anonymous review is optional. If an author wants anonymous review, the button "Request Anonymous Review" should be selected on the submission form, and the request should be included in the author's cover letter.
The manuscript receiving anonymous review should be formatted as follows:
- All author-identifying information should be removed from the manuscript, including authors' names and affiliations on the title page, footnotes, and author notes. The properties of the file should also not reveal the authors' names.
- The authors' contact information should instead be included in the cover letter, which is not seen by the reviewers.
For the other JEP journals, authors should submit manuscripts according to the manuscript submission guidelines for each individual JEP journal:
When one of the editors believes a manuscript is clearly more appropriate for an alternative journal of the American Psychological Association, the editor may redirect the manuscript with the approval of the author.
