Submission guidelines

Basic requirements

All contributions are accepted for consideration on the understanding that they have been endorsed by each author, are original, and have not been published whole or in part elsewhere. Please read the download-able Publication Agreement prior to submission to ensure the conditions are acceptable. No submissions will be published without a completed publication agreement.

Format guide

The format style for this journal is based on the American Psychological Association (APA) standards. The APA website (http://www.apastyle.org/) provides information at no cost as well as detailed reference information and validation software for purchase.
Note however, that we have made a small number of modifications so that authors can submit manuscripts in a form that is as close as possible to how a final copy would appear in MAI Review.
It is strongly recommended that you down-load and use the journal’s template to format your article.
