Submissions
How do I submit an article to the Annals?
Articles and essays are welcomed from all countries. All submissions must be in English and be submitted as a Word document (no PDFs). Contributors should submit papers electronically to Dr. Peter V. Paul (paul.3@osu.edu).
There is no minimum or maximum length (within reason). The font size is 12, and we recommend Times New Roman or Times. Please call out tables and figures in the manuscript where they should be placed (e.g., <insert table 1 near here>) and include these items at the end of the text after the reference list (or appendix, if you include this item) in ONE document.
(If your paper is accepted for the journal, we will ask for any figures to be sent in their original formats as separate files.)
It is critical to adhere to the style of the seventh edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA). APA provides guidelines regarding headings and the type of information to be included in each heading for primary (empirical) and secondary (analysis) research manuscripts. APA also provide guidelines for footnotes, tables, figures, and abstracts. Sample papers can be found in the APA (pp. 50–66).
Abstracts should be limited to 145 words.
We also ask that you provide keywords (at the end of the abstract and please limit them to six words) and identify the main author for correspondences.
Except for the title page, the text should be double-spaced.
Permissions. Contributors are responsible for obtaining permission to reprint tables, figures, illustrations, and large extracts. Copies of the permission letters must accompany the manuscript.
Proofs. One set of proofs will be sent to the lead author. Contributors are responsible for proofreading and returning the proofs by the given deadline.
