    MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES

     

    Manuscript

    Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jodi

    Preparation

    Manuscripts should not exceed 30 pages of text. Prepare text in Times New Roman 11 point type. Manuscripts should be double spaced, including references. Do not use automatic endnote function in your word processing program. Endnote marks in the text should simply be superscripted numbers, and notes should be typed separately at the end of the text. For reference on style, see the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed. APA reference examples can be found here: https://apastyle.apa.org/ . Manuscripts will not be accepted until they are formatted correctly.

    For International Authors: English Language Refinement and Editing

    JDI receives many submissions from authors that are non native English speakers. Unfortunately, many of these manuscripts must be rejected outright because they are difficult for reviewers to understand. We strongly encourage authors for whom English is a second language to seek help from professional editing services before submitting their manuscripts, which will greatly increase chances of acceptance. For useful resources and information, please see <http://www.sagepub.com/journalgateway/engLang.htm>.

    An abstract not to exceed 150 words and biographical sketches not to exceed 50 words for each author should be provided.

    Submit a short running title of no more than 55 characters, including spaces.

    Headings

    First level headings should be bold and aligned left. Second-level headings should be italicized and aligned left. Third-level headings should be italicized and indented:

    Reference List

    The reference list should be formatted according to American Psychological Association (APA) and JDI style guidelines. All references should be complete. JDI’s style requires including the names of all authors, full titles of periodicals and books, and volume and page numbers.

    Tables and Figures

    Tables should be prepared in Times New Roman 10 point type. Table notes should be prepared in Times New Roman 9 point type. A location in the text for each table and figure should be indicated (e.g., “Table 1 about here”), and tables should appear after the reference list.

    Review

    To facilitate anonymous review, only the title of the article should appear on the front page. Names, affiliations, complete mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and fax numbers of all authors should be included on a separate cover page. Authors should keep a copy of their manuscripts.
