Submission of a manuscript to this Journal represents a certification on the part of the author(s) that it is an original work, and that neither this manuscript nor a version of it has been published elsewhere nor is being considered for publication elsewhere.

The Journal publishes two main classes of articles: full-length articles of approximately 5,000 words (15-25 pages, double-spaced), and short research notes/reports/reviews of about 1,500 words (5-10 pages, double-spaced). References, citations, and general style of manuscripts for this Journal should follow the APA style (as outlined in the latest edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association). References should be placed in alphabetical order.

To facilitate the double blind review process, authors are instructed to include their names, academic titles and degrees, current affiliations, mailing addresses, and contact information (telephone and fax numbers with the country and city code, and e-mail when available) only on the cover page. Any information which identifies the author(s) should not appear elsewhere in the manuscript.

Once the manuscript is accepted for publication, the author(s) will be required to submit final copies of the manuscript both in hard copies and diskette copies (on Microsoft Word 6.0 or higher).
