All manuscripts are anonymously peer-reviewed by national/international scholars appropriate for the topic and content. The review process normally takes 2-3 months.

Manuscript Submission:
All manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the journal website. The manuscript submission site is located at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/epm. Manuscripts should follow the general guidelines of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). Manuscripts must be double-spaced, including the title page, abstract, text, quotes, acknowledgements, references, footnotes, appendices, tables, and figure captions. When appropriate use subheadings to organize lengthy presentations. Explain abbreviations. Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate pages.

Authors who want to refine the use of English in their manuscripts might consider utilizing the services of SPi, a non-affiliated company that offers Professional Editing Services to authors of journal articles in the areas of science, technology, medicine or the social sciences. SPi specializes in editing and correcting English-language manuscripts written by authors with a primary language other than English. Visit http://www.prof-editing.com for more information about SPi’s Professional Editing Services, pricing, and turn-around times, or to obtain a free quote or submit a manuscript for language polishing.

An author’s use of SPi’s services in no way guarantees that his or her submission will ultimately be accepted. Any arrangement an author enters into will be exclusively between the author and SPi, and any costs incurred are the sole responsibility of the author.
