For the peer-review process, authors must include a cover letter to the editor, title page (including complete author contact information), and blind manuscript (no name anywhere on the manuscript). Manuscripts are accepted for review with the understanding that no substantial portion of the study has been published or is under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that its submission for publication has been approved by all of the authors.
Authors should follow the instructions given in the Fifth Edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Manuscripts that do not adhere to these guidelines may be returned without editorial review. Manuscripts should be double-spaced throughout with margins of at least one inch on each side. Pages should be numbered consecutively and organized as follows:

The title page should include (a) the article title; (b) the authors’ names and affiliations at the time the work was completed; (c) the first author’s email address, telephone number, and mailing address; (d) a concise running title.
Abstract Page
An abstract of no more than 100 words should accompany each paper. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and references to the text. After the abstract, a list of up to 5 keywords that will be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
