Manuscripts should be typewritten in English (United Kingdom) in Microsoft Word (versions 1997 onwards; if using the latest versions please be sure to save as compatible for 97-2003, i.e. ".doc"). Type should be double spaced with 1" margins on one side of A4 paper. Each manuscript should include a word count. Sheets should be numbered on the bottom right corner. For authors' convenience they are invited to use the journal template.

On a separate sheet include author's name, any relevant qualifications, address, telephone number, current professional activity and a statement that the article is not under consideration elsewhere for publication (full addresses for authors is a requirement of PsycINFO). As articles are peer reviewed, the rest of the manuscript should be free of information identifying the author. Authors should follow the ethical principles of Non-Sexist Language; a copy should be retained by the author. Written permission should be obtained by the author for the reproduction of material taken from other sources.

Submissions must include key words and an abstract. The abstract should be no longer than 250 words / 1,500 to 2,000 characters (depending on the length of the paper) and it should be written in such as way that the reader can understand it independently of the body of the paper.

In line with the Requirements for PsycINFO Abstracts (American Psychological Association, 2007) key elements for an abstract vary according to the type of article (the order in which key elements are placed may vary from article to article for any type). Abstracts should present key elements precisely and concisely, with no extraneous information. Abstracts should not contain data tables, figures, or references. Most of all, they must accurately reflect the content of the article.
