Manuscripts should be electronically submitted through Scholastica: https://jpc.scholasticahq.com. A brief biography including research and/or professional interests of no more than five lines must be submitted on separate pages. JPC utilizes a blind review system. Thus, authors’ names, institutions, and other identifying information should appear on only one of the two submitted copies. All manuscripts should be in accordance with the guidelines of the American Psychological Association Publication Manual, 7th ed. When uploading to the Scholastica system, authors should submit the two manuscripts in Word format, as well as ensure that the “blinded” version is uploaded as the manuscript file and “unblinded” version is uploaded as the supplemental file.
