Guidelines for the Editors of the CPA Journals

Guidelines currently under review.

Instruction to Authors

Please consult APA's Journals Manuscript Submission Instructions for all Authors for information regarding manuscript preparation, submitting supplemental materials, abstract and keywords, references, figures, permissions, publication policies, ethical principles.

Manuscripts should be submitted electronically through the Manuscript Submission Portal.

The file format should be Portable Document Format (.pdf), Rich Text Format (.rtf), or Microsoft Word Format (.doc). The file must exactly copy, in all respects and in a single file, the complete APA-style printed version of the manuscript.

When submitting manuscripts, in addition to mailing addresses and phone numbers, authors should supply e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and fax numbers for potential use by the editorial office and later by the production office.

Authors should keep a copy of the manuscript as a guard against loss.

Please also visit the journal to which you plan to submit your article for further instructions:

Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science
Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology
Canadian Psychology       

Manuscript Language

Manuscripts may be submitted in French or in English.

Internet Posting

If a paper is unpublished, the author may distribute it on the Internet or post it on a web Site but should label the paper with the date and with a statement that the paper has not yet been published (e.g., Draft version 1.3, 1/5/08. This paper has not been peer reviewed. Please do not copy or cite without author's permission.).

Authors of articles published in CPA journals may post a copy of the final manuscript, as accepted for publication, as a word processing, PDF, or other type file, on their web Site or their employer's server after it is accepted for publication.

The following conditions would prevail:

The posted article must carry a CPA copyright notice and include a link to the CPA journal home page or to the final published version using the article's DOI, or digital object identifier, that may be found on the first page of the published article, in the upper right hand corner.

Further, the posted article must include the following statement: "This article may not exactly replicate the final version published in the CPA journal. It is not the copy of record."

Neither CPA nor APA provides electronic copies of the published version for this purpose, and authors are not permitted to scan in the CPA typeset version of the published article.

Authors are not permitted to download and subsequently post the CPA typeset version of the published article.

Permission

For permission to use previously published text, tests or portions of tests, tables, or figures please contact cpa@cpa.ca.

Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science



The Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science publishes original, empirical contributions in the following areas of psychology: abnormal, behavioural, community, counselling, educational, environmental, developmental, health, industrial-organizational, clinical, neuropsychological, personality, psychometrics, and social.

A limited amount of space is also available in the journal for brief reports with theoretical and practical implications. The Brief Reports section can also be used for psychometric reports and to disseminate Canadian norms or forms for standardized tests.

The Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science is published quarterly (January, April, July, October) with grant support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

Editorial Team:

Editor: Greg Irving, Ph.D., Wilfrid Laurier University
Associate Editor: Michel Claes, Ph.D., Université de Montréal
Managing Editor: Raymond Léveillé, Canadian Psychological Association

Instructions to Authors:

All manuscripts should be submitted electronically through the Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science manuscript submission portal.

Brief Reports will be no longer than five journal pages, so a Brief Report manuscript would not normally exceed 2500 words in text and would have no more than one table or figure. Authors of a Brief Report must state that a fuller report will be provided upon request. A digital copy of the manuscript should accompany paper copies submitted to the editor.

Masked Review Policy

This journal has adopted a policy of masked review for all submissions.

Please include with the manuscript a cover sheet, which shows the title of the manuscript, the authors' names and institutional affiliations, and the date the manuscript is submitted.

The first page of the manuscript should omit the authors' names, and affiliations but should include the title of the manuscript and the submission date. Footnotes containing information pertaining to the authors' identity or affiliations should be on separate pages.

Every effort should be made to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to the authors' identity.

Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology



The Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology publishes original research papers that advance understanding of the field of experimental psychology, broadly considered. This includes, but is not restricted to, cognition, perception, motor performance, attention, memory, learning, language, decision making, development, comparative psychology, and neuroscience.

The Journal will publish: a) papers reporting empirical results that advance knowledge in a particular research area; b) papers describing theoretical, methodological, or conceptual advances that are relevant to the interpretation of empirical evidence in the field; c) brief reports (less than 2,500 words for the main text) that describe new results or analyses with clear theoretical or methodological import.

Occasionally, the Journal will publish book reviews judged to be of broad interest to the experimental psychology research community.

The Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology is published quarterly (March, June, September, December).

Masked Review Policy

Masked review are optional. If requesting a masked review, indicate that in the cover letter. Do not include authors' names and affiliations on the title page. Instead, place this information in the cover letter, which is not seen by reviewers. Remove footnotes that identify the authors from the manuscript and include them in the cover letter. Make every effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to authors' identities. 

Canadian Psychology



Canadian Psychology has a mandate to present generalist articles in areas of theory, research, and practice that are potentially of interest to a broad cross-section of psychologists. Manuscripts with direct relevance to the context of Canadian psychology are also appropriate for submission. Original, empirical contributions are not within the mandate of the journal, unless the research is of direct relevance to the discipline as a whole (e.g., a survey of psychologists about the future of the discipline).

Canadian Psychology is published quarterly (February, May, August, November).

Authors should make every effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities.
