General Information

 

Manuscripts are accepted for review on an ongoing, voluntary basis by the IJAMT editorial board. All articles submitted must be original works, be scientifically accurate, and represent the level of scholarship and professionalism associated with doctoral-level research. Abstracts are required for all papers submitted and should precede the text of the paper. Abstracts should not exceed 150 words.

 

Materials submitted must adhere to the 5th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), including the appropriate use of general writing style, grammar, headings, figures, tables, citations, and references,  (http://www.apastyle.org/). Any submission not adhering to APA style guidelines will be returned unreviewed.

 

No manuscript will be considered that has already been published, or is in review for publishing, with another journal. Authors must include a statement in their cover letter indicating that the manuscript has not been previously published and is not currently being considered for publishing by another journal.

 

Copyright Guidelines

 

Authors are required to obtain written permission for the use of any table, figure, or extensive text extract (more than 50 words) from a source which is owned or copyrighted by a party other than the author. This requirement pertains to both direct reproduction and derivative reproduction, when the author has created a new table or figure that was derived substantially from a copyrighted source.

 

Preparing the Manuscript

 

All manuscripts must be written in English. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in a double-spaced APA format, using a 12-point font size (preferably Times New Roman). In addition, all graphics and tables should be inserted within the file in the appropriate location in the paper. Papers sent with separate graphic files will not be approved for publishing.

 

All manuscripts must be submitted electronically. No hard copy or disk-provided articles will be accepted. Please do not send compressed files. Files must be sent using Microsoft Word or RTF format.

 

The suggested maximum length for a manuscript is 25 double-spaced pages. It is highly recommended that long manuscripts be divided into smaller sections by the use of sub-headings. It is also recommended that no more than four levels of headings be used.

Authors are responsible for providing for adequate editing prior to submitting their manuscripts. Any manuscript with excessive spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, or other mechanical problems will be returned to the author.

 

Since all manuscripts are reviewed via a blind review process, the author's name should not be included in the manuscript file.
