Volume Index

If a manuscript is accepted for publication after rigorous peer review and editorial examination, there are three possible formats for publication. Publication fees are paid by authors or their institutions.

(1) Regular articles. These are articles which require from 3 through 20 printed pages. Charges are $27.50 per page in multiples of four pages, plus special fees for composition (e.g., tables, figures). Authors receive 50 preprints; additional reprints and covers can be ordered.

(2) One- or two-page articles and notes. This arrangement is useful where the author does not intend to do further work in the area but feels that preliminary findings should be put on record, where it is expected that it will be several years before the final study is completed and reported, or where a particular finding can be reported completely in one page. The author submits a one-page summary of a study accompanied by the full report for filing with the Archive for Psychological Data. Charge is $27.50. Authors receive 50 preprints; additional preprints and covers can be ordered.

(3) Monograph supplements. Certain papers printing to more than 20 pages are published as monograph supplements. These are distributed to subscribers of Perceptual and Motor Skills or Psychological Reports as parts of regular issues and are also made available as separates. Charges are $27.50 per page in multiples of four pages, plus special fees for composition (e.g., tables, figures). Authors receive 50 preprints of the monographs with covers; additional preprints can be ordered.

Articles should be prepared carefully, following the form suggested for publications of the American Psychological Association. Proof is mailed to the author within approximately three weeks of acceptance of the article, and preprints are mailed within approximately five weeks of receipt of proof from the author.

It is the policy of this journal to file raw data with the Archive for Psychological Data whenever possible. Authors should submit appropriate tables with their articles. The data will be available to other researchers upon request.
