The Journal of Humanistic Psychology is a forum for diverse statements about humanistic psychology, including criticisms. The Editor makes no effort to achieve an official consensus; each contributor speaks for himself or herself.
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/johp, where you will be required to set up an online account on the SAGETRACK system powered by ScholarOne. In addition, an electronic version should be sent to Shawn Rubin, PsyD, Managing Editor, at shawn.a.rubin@gmail.com and a hard copy should be sent to Kirk Schneider, PhD, Editor, at 1738 Union Street, San Francisco, CA 94123. Include a cover letter with address, e-mail, phone number, and fax number. Please do not send your hardcopy to Dr. Schneider via Registered Mail, as this may delay, or even preclude, receipt.
Manuscripts should generally be no more than 30 double-spaced pages in length. Include cover letter with address, e-mail, phone number, and fax number. Please follow the text format of this journal, and for the citing and listing of references, refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th edition). Do not use masculine pronouns to refer to people in general. A copy of the final revised manuscript saved on a computer disk should be included with the final revised hard copy. Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. 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. Due to the heavy load of editorial work and JHP's limited resources, manuscripts must often be rejected without explanation. Manuscripts will not be returned.
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.
