Manuscript Submission: Basic Instructions

(For both new and revised manuscripts)

Please read and follow all instructions carefully (very important).

Before submitting your manuscript for review, please make sure that everything (except tables and figures) is double spaced in Times Roman 12 point font, with one-inch margins on letter-sized paper (no compressed text). Your manuscript must be in Microsoft Word (.doc) or Rich Text (.rtf) format.

The title page (page 1) should contain your title, author names, and author note (including author email addresses, affiliations, and acknowledgments). Page 2 should contain your abstract (100 words only), and the text should begin on page 3.

JCR style is no footnotes or endnotes. Please work any notes you may have into the text.

You must not identify yourself or your school affiliation in any way in the methods sections where data collection and participant pools are discussed. If the paper is later accepted, you should include this information, but it must not be in the paper during the review process.

Your manuscript will be reviewed with the understanding that it has not been published, is not in press, is not under review elsewhere, nor has it been previously rejected at JCR (without a new submission offer from the Editor).

By submitting your manuscript, you represent and warrant that the above are true.

In the textbox provided on the manuscript submission page, please suggest four or five reviewers for your paper (people who haven't seen the paper before, of course). We may or may not use them, but it's useful to see which reviewers authors believe would be most knowledgeable about their manuscripts (both in substance and the methods used). It also helps us keep our reviewer specialty database current.

Important: During the process of submitting your manuscript, do not press your browser's "back" button at any time.
