 Guidelines for Authors

The Journal for the Professional Counselor is a professional, refereed journal dedicated to the study and development of the counseling profession. The Editor invites articles which address the interests of counselors in school, college, and agency settings and which deal with current professional issues, theory, scientific research, and innovative programs and practices.

Generally, authors may expect a decision regarding a manuscript within 2 months of acknowledgment of receipt. Following are guidelines for developing and submitting a manuscript.

Specific Requirements

1. Manuscripts should not exceed 20 pages.

2. Manuscripts should be typewritten, double-spaced (including references and extensive quotations) on SW' x 11" nontranslucent white bond with 1 1/2" margins on all sides.

3. The title page should include two elements: title, and author and affiliation. Identify the title page with a running head and the number 1 typed in the upper right­ hand corner of the page.

4. Begin the abstract on a new page, and identify the abstract page with the running head and the number 2 typed in the upper right-hand corner of the page. The abstract should be approximately 125 words.

5. Begin the text on a new page and identify the first text page with a running head and the number 3 typed in the Upper right-hand corner of the page. Type the title of the text centered at the top of the page, double-spaced, and then type the text. Each following page of text should carry the running head and page number.

6. Reference style should be that of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fourth Edition.

7. Authors should avoid the use of the generic masculine pronouns and other sexist terminology. See "Gender Equity Guidelines" available from the American Counseling Association (ACA).

8. Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, authors must provide two hard copies of the manuscript in its final version as well as a copy on a micro­ computer floppy diskette of 31/2" which is IBM or IBM compatible. Disks are not to be submitted until requested. The disk must be clearly labeled with the name(s) of the author(s) and the hardware and software program in which it was written.

9. Manuscripts will be selected on the basis of a blind review. Two or three months should be allowed between acknowledgment of receipt of a manuscript and notification of its disposition. All manuscripts become the property of the Journal and will not be considered by NYCA if currently under consideration by other publications.

10. Three copies of the manuscripts should be mailed to: Paul M. Parsons, Ph.D., Editor, The Journal for the Professional Counselor, Medaille College, 18 Agassiz Circle, Buffalo, New York 14214-9985; Telephone: 716-884-3281; pparsons@medaille.edu
