Please use this style guide and attached template to format your paper submission for publication. Please note that we follow the APA Style for referencing. Before submitting your paper to Psychnology, please be sure to proofread and spell check your article.

1. Save the template file as ‘Psychnology Template.dot'. Be sure to save it as a template .dot file rather than as a document .doc file.

2. Open the document you want to format for Psychnology submission.

3. In your open document, open the ‘Templates and Add-ins' dialogue box under the Tools menu. Click on ‘Attach' and browse to find the Psychnology Template.dot you saved earlier. Click OK. The template is now attached to your document.

4. Go back to' Tools>Templates and Add-ins' and click on ‘Organizer'. This opens the Organizer dialogue box.

5. In the ‘Styles' Available' in the pull-down menu, select ‘Psychnology template.dot (Template)'.

6. Highlight all the styles in the Psychnology Template in the left-hand column of the dialogue box. These styles should all begin with ‘ps_'.

7. Choose the ‘Copy' option to copy these styles to the right-hand column and your Normal template. Click "Yes to All" to over write your existing styles.

8. In the ‘Styles Available' in the pull-down menu, switch back to your original document that you wish to format for Psychnology. To make the process easier, you may want to delete any old styles that are associated with your paper.

9. Highlight the ‘ps_' styles you just copied into your Normal template in the right-hand column, and copy the styles into your original document using the ‘Copy' button in the dialogue box. Again, click ‘Yes to All' to overwrite existing styles.

10. Again, highlight the "ps_" styles in the normal template in the right-hand column, and use the ‘Delete' button to delete these styles from your normal template if you do not wish for all new documents to have Psychnology styles in their style menus.

11. Close the ‘Templates and Add-ins' dialogue box.

12. You are now ready to apply the Psychnology styles to your document. To do this: Highlight the text in your document to which you wish to apply formatting. Go to the ‘Styles' pull-down menu on your toolbar or to' Style...' under the ‘Format' menu. Select the appropriate Psychnology style from the drop-down menu. This will apply the style to your highlighted text.

13. Finish formatting your entire document with the appropriate styles. Please note the ‘Page Setup' and the ‘Styles In Use' are defined in the template provided. The setup and styles and their descriptions are listed on the ‘Definitions' page below as reference.

References, tables, figure legends, and furnished art should be embedded in the manuscript such that the manuscript is in final form when submitted. All the figures should be submitted also in GIF or JPEG formats with the article.

Tables and figures: Tables and figures should be used only when they can present information more effectively than in running text. Care should be taken to insure that tables can be effectively presented in html, since articles will be in both html and acrobat. Legends should be at the bottom of each table (Arial 11pt bold).

Illustrations: Figures should be numbered in series and all legends should be included at the bottom of each figure (Arial 11pt bold). Symbols (open or closed circles, triangles, squares) and lettering must be clear when rendered in GIF or JPEG format. Please review all figures after converting to GIF or JPEG format to insure that they are readable. If the author wishes to use colour figure, (s)he may do so since this is an online journal and no additional costs are charged for colour. (Please note that if the material is printed, all colour illustrations will be translated into grayscale.)

Line drawings and graphs: Original line drawings and graphs should be submitted as GIF or JPEG files.

Photographs: Photographs can be accommodated as GIF or JPEG files; authors should carefully crop images prior to saving as files. Remember that the smaller and fewer GIFs or JPEGs in the paper, the more quickly the paper can be downloaded.

Formulae and Equations: Mathematical equations should be arranged to fill the width of a single column. Subscripts and especially superscripts (i.e. exponents) should be written with care. All signs such as +, -, =, <, or > should be spaced, but the components of mathematical products should not be spaced. Do not use multiple lines unnecessarily. In order to avoid errors, it is important that all formula matter be carefully arranged with special attention paid to correctness of symbols, location of subscripts and superscripts. Note that we would prefer any complex equation to be rendered as a GIF or JPEG image.

Copyrighted Material: Authors who want to make use of artwork already published are required by copyright law to ask the owner of the copyright (usually the publisher) for permission to do so. Please be careful to assign proper credit; for example, in the legend of a figure "...from (reference); reproduced by permission of...." If any verbatim quotations of text amount to more than a few words, the same procedure should be followed. If authors use material from their own published work, permission must be obtained from the publisher. If an article is accepted for publication the author must provide the copyright permissions for already published material. If the author receives permissions faxed from the permission grantor, (s)he may fax or mail these permissions to us.
