As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

AJA requires authors to select the appropriate article type for their manuscript and to comply with the article type descriptions defined by the journal.

We suggest authors use the Word Template that is provided in the attached link, as this can speed up AJA's publication of accepted articles.

AJA requires manuscripts submitted to meet international English language standards to be considered for publication. The default language style accepted by the journal is American English.

American Psychological Association (APA) reference style is recommended by us to cite the sources used throughout the article. All references should be alphabetically ordered by the last name of the leading author of the cited source, including those that may appear in figures, tables, supplementary materials, and/or appendixes. References appear at the end of the manuscript and no reference should be duplicated. It is recommended that authors use bibliography software packages, such as EndNote, BibTeX, or Reference Manager, to help prevent configuration errors in the reference. Digital Object Identifier (DOI) should be included in all references where available.
