Length

Because this is an electronic journal the length of papers may vary. The length of your paper should be appropriate to the topic and focus. We will accept some papers that are only two or three pages long and some that are as long as 20 pages. The critical issue is whether the length is appropriate.

Section headings

Levels of headings should referred to APA style

Tables

All tables (i.e., data displayed in rows and columns) must be submitted MS Word tables embedded in the manuscript near the first reference to the corresponding table. Lengthy tables are discouraged as they are difficult to read online.  

Figures

Figure graphics (e.g., charts, graphs, photographs, and drawings) must be in either .GIF, .PNG, or .JPG format and should be embedded   the manuscript. Filenames for figures must be clearly labeled as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc., at the below of the figure, centered, numbered in sequence, and must be referenced within the text of the article.  

Appendices

All supplemental text not falling under the definition of a table or figure will be considered an appendix.  Appendices should be placed at the end of the manuscript, after the reference list.  If possible, authors should provide a link from the reference to the appendix in the manuscript (e.g., “see Appendix A”) to the beginning of the actual appendix.

Videos

All videos must be submitted as RealMedia (.RM) (formatted files, optimized for Web use (see note following this paragraph).  (Flash animations should also be converted to .RM format.) Videos should be identified in the text as “Video 1, Video 2,” etc., and video filenames should include the corresponding video numbers. Authors must provide a link to the video within the article.  This link could be a text link (e.g., “Video 1”) or a still frame from the video (i.e., a .GIF, .PNG or .JPG file).

Audio files

Audio files must be submitted as RealMedia (.RM) formatted files (see note just preceding this paragraph). Audio files should be identified in the text as “Audio 1, Audio 2,” etc., and audio filenames should include the corresponding audio numbers. Authors must provide a link to the audio within the article.  This link could be a text link (e.g., “Audio 1”) or a related graphic. 
NOTE: For assistance with video and audio compression into multiple formats, Media Cleaner is one industry leader you may find helpful.  

Abstract

Each article should include an informative, comprehensive abstract of 75 to 200 words. This abstract should succinctly summarize the major points of the paper, and the author's summary and/or conclusions.

References

Authors are responsible for checking the accuracy of all references and that all references cited in the text also appear in the Reference section. All references should be in alphabetical order by author (unnumbered) American Psychological Association (APA) style. Citation examples (1) book and (2) periodical:
