Manuscript Submission Guidelines:
Manuscripts should be submitted at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jbp, where authors will be required to set up an online account in the SAGETRACK system powered by ScholarOne.
Prospective authors may also wish to download the Editor’s Statement, to be published in the May 2009 issue.
Please submit electronic files using MS Word (Windows Vista users, please save your files as an earlier ".doc" filetype). Each submission should consist of a cover file and manuscript file. The cover file should contain a request for review of the manuscript and a statement of the purpose and focus of the submitted paper. Cover files should also include the following information:
- manuscript title and all author names, affiliations, mailing addresses, and e-mail addresses
- short biographical paragraphs of each author and any acknowledgments
- manuscript submission date
Every effort should be made by the author to see that the manuscript file contains no clues as to the author's identity. Footnotes containing information pertaining to the identity of the author or institutional affiliation should be on separate pages. Manuscripts, including references, must be double spaced throughout and must conform to guidelines given in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), 5th ed., 2001.
The manuscript file should begin with a title page, omitting the author's name and affiliation but including the title and the date submitted. Following the title page should be a 100-175 word abstract and 4-5 keywords. The introduction section should follow and precede, in order, the Method, Results, and Discussion sections for empirical reports. Following in order should be note pages, references (entries double spaced and alphabetically listed), appendixes, tables, and figures. Table and figure locations should be indicated in text by callouts (e.g., "[insert Table 1 here]") inserted after the respective paragraphs. Figures must be camera ready.
