Copies are available in most college and university bookstores or may be
ordered by calling the Order Department of the American Psychological
Association at (800) 374-2721.
Footnotes
Footnotes are generally avoided because they distract the reader. Reference
citations are never footnoted, but are included in a reference list. Whenever
possible, information germane to an article should be integrated within the
text. Necessary supporting documentation may be included as an appendix.
Table notes, author identification notes, and copyright permission footnotes are
acceptable and are addressed in the APA Publication Manual.
References
The use of the APA reference is simple and straightforward. All references cited
in the text must be listed alphabetically by author in a reference list at the end
of the article. Since this list must enable the reader to locate the works cited,
the reference data must be correct and contain all of the details necessary for
identification and library research.
Reference materials not readily available to readers (unpublished works,
papers presented at meetings, work in progress) should be cited only when they
are essential to the article. They must be included in the reference list. As much
information as possible should be noted, following the APA style, including:
author, title, date, address from which material may be obtained, and whatever
information is necessary to explain the source (for example, “Paper presented at
the...”).
Submission of
Articles should be submitted in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect format via e-
Manuscripts mail to jpcase@amherst.edu or on a CD mailed to Joe Paul Case, Director of
Financial Aid, P.O. Box 5000, B-5 Converse Hall, Amherst, MA 01002-5000.
Indicate in the cover e-mail or on the CD which format was used. If you wish
to submit your article in a different format, please contact Linda Conard at
NASFAA, (202) 785-6958.
Manuscripts should be in upper and lower case. All copy, including indented
material and references, should be double-spaced and generally no longer than
15 pages (including tables, figures, and references). Each page after the first page
should be numbered. The title of the article should appear at the top of the first
page of text.
Since the Editorial Board has a blind review policy, the author’s name should
not appear on any page of the text. A cover sheet should include the title of the
manuscript, author’s name, institutional affiliation, mailing address, phone
number, e-mail address, and the date the manuscript is submitted. Authors are
also asked to include on the cover page a two- to three-sentence anecdotal
description of the manuscript.
