1. STYLE. Write clearly and simply in the third person for an audience of professionals from diverse fields. Avoid technical jargon and abbreviations. Define technical terms when they are introduced.
2. FORMAT. In general, follow the guidelines presented in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition. Center the title of the article at the top of the first page. Center the name(s) of the author(s) under the title, and under each name, center the italicized name of each author's institutional affiliation. Use bold font for the title, author's/authors' name(s) and affiliations, and all headings.
Use up to three subheading levels throughout the article as needed. Major headings should be centered. Secondary headings should be flush with the left margin. Third-‐level headings should have a five-‐space paragraph indentation with the first letter of each major word in caps followed by a period. In this last situation ONLY, the narrative should begin on the same line as the heading. In all other subheadings listed above, the narrative should begin on the next line.
