Preparation of Manuscripts for JEAB

PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS FOR JEAB

The Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior (JEAB) is primarily for the original publication of experiments relevant to the behavior of individual organisms. Review articles and theoretical papers are also considered for publication. Manuscripts submitted to JEAB should conform to the style and organization described in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. The following comments supplement the Publication Manualby highlighting some points that are especially germane to submissions to JEAB. Authors should consult the APA Publication Manual for detailed discussion of these and other matters. Adherence to these guidelines will make the task of the scientists and other professionals who handle your manuscript easier and will be greatly appreciated.

SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Manuscripts should be prepared according to the format requirements published in the January issue of the current year, and should be submitted electronically to the Editor-elect, James E. Mazur, at jeab@southernct.edu. Alternatively, four copies of each manuscript can be sent to James E. Mazur, Psychology Department, Southern Connecticut State University, New Haven, Connecticut 06515.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS

JEAB encourages electronic submission of manuscripts. These manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word format. The editors regret, however, that they cannot accept submissions in MS Word 2007 (.docx files) until further notice. Figures should be included as part of the document file rather than being submitted in separate files. Each figure should be labeled in the front upper right corner with the figure number and last name of the first author of the manuscript. Electronically submitted manuscripts should conform to the style requirements that appear in the January issue of JEAB. Authors are asked to format the manuscript using U.S. standard paper size (8 ½ by 11 inches).

Electronic submissions should be sent to jeabsouthernct.edu.

ONLINE SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALS FOR JEAB ARTICLES

JEAB now offers authors the possibility of placing supplementary materials for their articles online on JEAB’s website. Supplementary materials may include such items as raw data files, large appendices, photographs, audio or video files, etc. All supplementary materials will be subject to peer review. Authors should include electronic copies of these materials when they submit their manuscripts to the journal, and these materials should follow the formatting requirements for supplementary materials established by the American Psychological Association (www.apa.org/journals/authors/ suppmaterial.html). If accepted, the materials will be placed on JEAB’s website when the article is published, and an author’s note in the article will give the Internet address for the supplementary materials. In addition, when a JEAB article appears online with PubMed Central, any accompanying supplementary materials will appear there, also.
