Documentation
References should be listed at the end of the article and should be arranged alphabetically by the author's last name in accordance with the directions of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (3 rd. Edition). Each reference cited in the article must be listed, but only those cited should be included. Sources should be documented by the author -- date method of citation, that is, the surname of the author and the year of publication are inserted in the text at the appropriate point. The specific page number or numbers from which a quotation is taken should be inserted after the year of the reference as in the following example: (Smith, 1979, p. 14).

Complete data must be included for each reference in the sequence as follows: Books -- Author (list all names in inverted order, last name, followed by the initial or initials; in case of multiple authorship, use the inverted order for all names, separating each name from the preceding with a comma and ampersand (&), as appropriate), publication date, title (underlined with only the initial letter of the first word capitalized), city of publication, publisher's name Periodicals -- Author (as for books), date of publication, title of article (capitalize the initial letter of the first word only and do not enclose in quotation marks), journal name in full (underlined with the initial letter of all major words capitalized), volume number (underlined to indicate italics), inclusive pages. Miscellaneous -- documentation for pamphlets, bulletins, unpublished works, papers presented at meetings, personal communications, and other such materials should always include the author, date, and title, if available.

Tables
Extensive statistical information should be reported in tables but data included in tables should not be duplicated in the text. Titles of tables should be short but should describe the content. Each column in the table should have a heading and should be kept short or abbreviated. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet.

Illustrations
Illustrations consist of pictures, graphs, and drawings and are inserted in the article as figures. Only one copy of each illustration is required, and captions should be typed on a separate piece of paper and not on the figure itself. Drawings and graphs should be in black India ink or dark red or dark brown on heavy white paper or illustration board. Lettering should be neat, regular and well spaced, and should be large enough to be eligible when the illustration is reduced to fit column width in the Journal. Photographs should be black and white or color on glossy paper and should be identified on the back.

Reviewing and Editing
Each article is reviewed by the editor. The editor will attempt to make use of the editorial committee by submitting articles to members of the committee with expertise related to the content of a submitted article. Reasons for rejecting articles may include: topic is not of interest to the profession; article is only of interest to a few member of the association; topic is interesting but already has been thoroughly discussed in the literature; topic is of local rather than state-wide interest; discussion is too vague and is too general; article is poorly written. In some instances, an article may be rejected but the author is invited to revise and resubmit it. Articles accepted are subject to editing to conform to the Journal format.
