<\/a>GENERAL SUBMISSION GUIDELINES AND REVIEW POLICY<\/h2>\n

Manuscript Preparation<\/h3>\n

The manuscript preparation (including the format of headings, tables, figures, illustrations\/images, citations) and references (including visual, audio, and other material) should follow the guidelines described in the latest edition of the publication manual of the American Psychological Association (APA 7th edition)<\/b>, unless indicated otherwise in the Author\u2019s Guidelines<\/i> for each strand<\/a>.<\/b>\u00a0 Authors should submit manuscripts in English that are of high quality in use of grammar and style. Authors should employ copy editing services if they need assistance with grammar and style. Manuscripts should use a font size of 12 and not exceed guidelines for length given in specific strands.<\/p>\n

Blind Review<\/h3>\n

Please refrain from including any personally identifiable information in your submissions (articles or other forms of work) so that our reviewers will not be able to recognize the identity of any of the authors.<\/p>\n

To learn how to ensure that your submission is free from personally identifiable material, consult tutorial video 4<\/a> for making submissions or read this PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Title Page<\/h3>\n

A title page should be included with all submissions including the following information: a) a title (no more than 12 words), b) an abstract (between 50-150 words) and c) key words (5-8 words or phrases). To ensure a blind review process, no author or institution information should be provided on the title page, in the file name, or anywhere within the material and in references. Non-responsiveness to these requirements will result in rejection of the submission with no further processing.<\/p>\n

Cover Letter<\/h3>\n

IMPORTANT: <\/b>The cover letter should be submitted as a separate file<\/span><\/span> through Open Journal System (OJS).<\/b>

Authors should identify grants, other financial support, or special circumstances in the Cover Letter and in Acknowledgements within the manuscript or in the credits page for creative works.<\/p>\n

In addition, the cover letter submission should include a short biography (not more than 70 words) \u00a0for each author.<\/p>\n
