General Manuscript Preparation Guidelines

To ensure your manuscript meets the necessary formatting requirements, it is essential to refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. All manuscripts must adhere to the guidelines outlined in the 7th edition of the manual.

It is important to note that manuscripts may undergo copyediting to ensure the use of bias-free language, as detailed in Chapter 5 of the 7th edition. Additionally, all text should be double-spaced to enhance readability.

For further instructions on formatting, including guidelines for tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, please consult the Publication Manual. The APA Style website also offers valuable resources, such as sample papers, to assist you in preparing your manuscript effectively.
