MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

Acceptable manuscript length varies considerably, depending upon the content and quality of the submission. General guidelines are to submit a manuscript between 15 to 30 pages in length, while pieces as long as 40 pages may be included. All manuscripts should be double-spaced and include a title page, abstract (no more than 190 words), references, figures, and tables consistent with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). For your convenience, please follow the APA Checklist for Manuscript Submission, including the directions for masked review.

Exceptions to the APA checklist include the following:
1) you need only submit 1 electronic file as an e-mail attachment to bcw3@columbia.edu; and
2) figures should be pdf file attachments in (at least) Adobe Acrobat 6.0. Please consult the checklist at:http://www.apa.org/journals/authors/manuscript_check.html
