Preparation of Manuscripts

Four copies of each manuscript, prepared according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition (2001) should be sent to the editor with a cover letter requesting review of the manuscript. Spelling should conform to the Macquarie Dictionary (3rd ed. rev.). The cover letter should contain a statement indicating that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere nor is it currently under editorial review.

1. Cover page
The manuscript must have a cover page with the title of the article, author(s) names and affiliation, a running head, and at the bottom of the paper the name and postal address, as well as a contact phone and fax number and email address if available, of the person to whom correspondence, proofs and reprint requests should be sent. To facilitate anonymous review the second page should include the title of the article without author identification.

2. Abstract
Articles should be accompanied by an abstract which should not exceed 200 words. The abstract should follow the title page on a separate page. It should provide a brief overview of the aims, method and major findings and should not refer to the body of the text in the abstract.

3. Typing
Manuscripts should be typed on A4, double spaced, with 4cm wide margins. If a manuscript is accepted for publication authors who have prepared the manuscript on an IBM-compatible PC or Macintosh computer should submit a copy of the paper on disk in addition to the final hard copy version. Acceptable word processing formats are: Word Perfect (up to version 5.1), Microsoft Word (up to version 6), Multimate (up to version 4), Macwrite, and RTF (Rich Text Format). Disks may be supplied in either 3.5 inch or 5.25 inch formats. The word processing program used and version number are to be specified in writing on the title page of the final accepted manuscript.

4. Tables and Figures
Tables require consecutive numbering and should be referenced by number in the text. Tables should be typed on separate sheets. Indicate in the text the approximate location of tables and figures. Figures should not be supplied on disk.

5. Proofs and Reprints
Page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author for correction. Excessive alteration of the manuscript, as distinct from correction of errors in reproduction are not permitted and will be charged to the author(s). Authors will receive 25 copies of their paper free of charge. Additional reprints may be ordered when the proofs are returned.
