• The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• The text is double-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed in a separate file.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines (i.e., APA style).
• Our submission includes a cover letter wherein we indicate the title of the manuscript, all authors of the manuscript, the section to which the article is being sent (Review, Studies and Research, Instruments, Research notes), and the name of three recommended reviewers.
