Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
Manuscripts should be submitted via the Manuscript Central link, http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/earlyadolescence, in Word (preferred), Word Perfect, or WordPro format. The online system is self explanatory and will guide you through the submission process; the online portal also includes a Frequently Asked Questions link (under Instructions and Forms) for your convenience. However, should you have any questions about the submissions process, please feel free to contact the editorial office via e-mail (Editor Alexander T. Vazsonyi, The Journal of Early Adolescence; e-mail: jea@auburn.edu. Auburn University, Department of Human Development and Family Studies, 284 Spidle Hall, Auburn AL 36849).
In general, manuscripts should not exceed 25-30 typed, double-spaced pages (brief reports should not exceed 20 pages), including references, tables, and figures. Text and references must conform to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). Submissions must include the name(s), affiliation, mailing address, telephone number, fax number, and e-mail address from each author on the title page. Each manuscript should also include an abstract (100-150 words) and 4 to 5 keywords as well as a brief (3-4 sentence) biographical paragraph of each author. Papers that do not conform to these guidelines will be returned to the author(s). Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in JEA. Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal, nor should manuscripts have been published elsewhere in substantially similar form or with substantially similar content. Authors in doubt about what constitutes prior publication
should consult the editor.
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.
Please be aware that SAGE has no affiliation with SPi and makes no endorsement of the company. 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.
