Email
In addition to addresses and phone numbers, please supply email addresses and fax numbers for use by the editorial office and later by the production office. Most correspondence between the editorial office and authors is handled by email, so a valid email address is important to the timely flow of communication during the editorial process.
Also, please be sure to provide names and contact information for each of your co-authors. Most authors include this information in the cover letter.
Keep a copy of the manuscript to guard against loss.
If you encounter difficulties with submission, please email the peer review coordinator, Rashika Venkataraman.
Submission policies
Authors should verify in their cover letter that manuscripts submitted to Psychology of Violence have not been published previously and are not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. The cover letter should also list any other publications from the same dataset and describe how the manuscript overlaps with and is different from other publications, if any, based on the same dataset. See the APA Publication Manual for a detailed discussion of this issue. The cover letter is not shared with reviewers so this information should not be masked.
Authors of accepted articles will be required to complete APA's Publication Rights form and Full Disclosure of Interests form. All studies involving human participants or animal subjects must also adhere to the Ethical Principles of APA. Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest with their research or certify that they have none. All publication forms, as well as information about which forms are required for your particular manuscript, are available on the Forms for Journals Publication page.
Masked review policy
This journal uses a masked reviewing system for all submissions. The first page of the manuscript should omit the authors' names and affiliations but should include the title of the manuscript and the date it is submitted. Footnotes containing information pertaining to the authors' identities or affiliations should not be included in the manuscript but may be provided after a manuscript is accepted. Make every effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to the authors' identities.
Journal Article Reporting Standards
Authors should review the updated APA Style Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS) for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research before submitting. These standards offer ways to improve transparency in reporting to ensure that readers have the information necessary to evaluate the quality of the research and to facilitate collaboration and replication. Further resources, including flowcharts, are available on the APA Style Journal Article Reports Standards page.
Sharing of data and stimulus materials
Psychology of Violence encourages authors of accepted manuscripts to consider what components of their materials and data can be made publicly available on a third-party repository, including (but not limited to) APA's data-sharing repository. APA's data sharing policy does not require public posting, so you are free to decide what is best for your project in terms of public data, materials, and conditions on their use. Maintaining participants' anonymity is an important concern that may preclude public sharing of a dataset. However, APA policy does require authors to make their data available to other researchers upon request.
Manuscript types
Psychology of Violence primarily publishes full-length reports of original research. Manuscripts should normally be no more than 30 double-spaced manuscript pages, inclusive of front matter, references, tables, and figures. Tables and figures should be placed at the end of the manuscript. Papers somewhat longer will be reviewed; however, authors are likely to be asked to shorten the paper if a revision is requested. Both quantitative and qualitative research will be considered. The journal also publishes review articles, including meta-analyses, and theoretical pieces. Psychology of Violence does not accept brief reports.
Commentaries
Commentaries are considered for publication in Psychology of Violence. There are two types. The first type is when a reader submits an unsolicited comment on an article published in Psychology of Violence. The primary purpose of the commentary would be to provide a meaningful insight, concern, alternative interpretation, clarification, or critical analysis of the original article. It is not intended to be simply be a critique of the literature review or basic methodology or statistics (e.g., suggesting articles that should have been included in the literature review, suggesting a different type of data analysis, noting that a study is statistically underpowered). Instead, the commentary should provide a richer and more comprehensive context for understanding the article that significantly adds to the literature by focusing on conceptual issues, methodological issues, and/or the policy implications of the findings. If a commentary is accepted, then the original author is invited to write a reply to the comment.
Commentaries should be submitted in a timely manner, no later than 12 months after publication of the original article. If the editor determines that the commentary meets the criteria described above, then it will be subject to the same process of peer review and the same editorial criteria and standards as any other manuscript. Commentaries may be no more than half the length of the original article, and replies may be no more than half the length of the commentary. A commentary and reply will be published together. Except under rare circumstances, there will be only one round of comment and reply. The title of a commentary should include a subtitle reflecting the actual title and year of publication of the article that is the focus of the comment.
The second type of commentary is initiated by the editor, who identifies an accepted article as one for which a commentary might be useful (e.g., controversial theoretical perspective or empirical findings; groundbreaking topic). The editor will invite one or more individuals to comment on the accepted article; and the author of the original piece is then invited to submit a reply or rebuttal to the comment. Comments and rebuttals go through the peer review and editorial process as described above. The original article is then published along with the comments and reply in chronological order.
Manuscript preparation guidelines
Prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association using the 7th edition. Authors must carefully review APA guidelines in advance of submission and follow them. It is difficult for reviewers and editors to judge the quality of a manuscript that does not adhere to APA's and this journal's requirements.
All APA requirements are important; the ones listed below are particularly noteworthy:
- Disclose all prior publications with this dataset in the cover letter (which is only seen by editors).
- Use bias-free language.
- Double space the entire text and references, putting only one table or figure on a page at the end of the manuscript, using one-inch margins all around, and including a header and page numbers.
- Minimize the use of acronyms so your manuscript is accessible to a wide audience.
Manuscripts submitted to Psychology of Violence should normally be no more than 30 double-spaced manuscript pages, inclusive of front matter, references, tables, and figures. Papers somewhat longer will be reviewed; however, authors are likely to be asked to shorten the paper if a revision is requested.
Psychology of Violence also has several style requirements, in order to facilitate the accessibility of information both within and across manuscripts. All manuscripts that remain under consideration at Psychology of Violence will be asked to include the following:
- A structured abstract divided into four sections with the headings: Objective, method, results, and conclusions. The objective should clearly communicate the novel contribution of the manuscript. Do not, however, claim that "this is the first study ever to..." Such a claim cannot be substantiated. In the conclusion, please identify at least one specific implication and avoid boilerplate language such as "Implications will be discussed." Target length is no more than 250 words.
- 4 to 5 keywords for all manuscripts.
- A statement that clearly describes the study's purpose must be provided in the first 3 paragraphs of the paper.
- The introduction needs to end with numbered statements of hypotheses or research goals, and these need to be explicitly revisited in the results and discussion.
- Authors are expected to review the APA Style Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS) and verify that they have included all relevant methodological information for the type of study they conducted, including effect sizes when they can be calculated.
- Number of items, response categories, alpha, and scoring need to be presented for all measures. Validity should be addressed.
- Sample size: Qualitative studies need to provide a rationale for the sample size based on their specific methodology. Quantitative studies need to include a formal power analysis that corresponds to the hypotheses and data analytic approach whenever possible; alternative methods used to determine the precision of parameter estimates should be used when power analyses are not appropriate for the data analytic technique. For both qualitative and quantitative studies, methodological citations should be provided to justify the technique used.
- The discussion needs separate subsections (in this order) for limitations, future research directions, and prevention, clinical, and policy implications. Regarding the implications subsection, at least one of the three types of implications listed above must be addressed and the heading should be modified to indicate those included (e.g., "Prevention and policy implications" or "Clinical implications").
- An honest assessment of the study's limitations is essential in the limitations subsection of the discussion. This section needs to describe the study's major methodological limitations and include a statement regarding the generalizability to other populations and contexts. The need to replicate exploratory or unexpected findings should be explicitly stated.
Per APA policy, authors presenting the results of randomized trials should rely on CONSORT guidelines.
Inquiries
Prospective authors are welcome to direct inquiries regarding these instructions, potential paper topics, journal policy, or manuscript preparation to the editor, Antonia Abbey.
Additional instructions for all authors
Review APA's Journal Manuscript Preparation Guidelines before submitting your article.
If your manuscript was mask reviewed, please ensure that the final version for production includes a byline and full author note for typesetting.
Double-space all copy. Other formatting instructions, as well as instructions on preparing tables, figures, references, metrics, and abstracts, appear in the Manual. Additional guidance on APA Style is available on the APA Style website.
Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations, computer code, and tables.
Display equations
We strongly encourage you to use MathType (third-party software) or Equation Editor 3.0 (built into pre-2007 versions of Word) to construct your equations, rather than the equation support that is built into Word 2007 and Word 2010. Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.
To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:
- Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.
- Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.
If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.
Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.
Computer code
Because altering computer code in any way (e.g., indents, line spacing, line breaks, page breaks) during the typesetting process could alter its meaning, we treat computer code differently from the rest of your article in our production process. To that end, we request separate files for computer code.
In online supplemental material
We request that runnable source code be included as supplemental material to the article. For more information, visit Supplementing Your Article With Online Material.
In the text of the article
If you would like to include code in the text of your published manuscript, please submit a separate file with your code exactly as you want it to appear, using Courier New font with a type size of 8 points. We will make an image of each segment of code in your article that exceeds 40 characters in length. (Shorter snippets of code that appear in text will be typeset in Courier New and run in with the rest of the text.) If an appendix contains a mix of code and explanatory text, please submit a file that contains the entire appendix, with the code keyed in 8-point Courier New.
Tables
Use Word's insert table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.
Academic writing and English language editing services
Authors who feel that their manuscript may benefit from additional academic writing or language editing support prior to submission are encouraged to seek out such services at their host institutions, engage with colleagues and subject matter experts, and/or consider several vendors that offer discounts to APA authors.
Please note that APA does not endorse or take responsibility for the service providers listed. It is strictly a referral service.
Use of such service is not mandatory for publication in an APA journal. Use of one or more of these services does not guarantee selection for peer review, manuscript acceptance, or preference for publication in any APA journal.
Submitting supplemental materials
APA can place supplemental materials online, available via the published article in the PsycArticles® database. Please see Supplementing Your Article With Online Material for more details.
Abstract and keywords
Psychology of Violence uses structured abstracts divided into the following sections, with headings: objective, method, results, and conclusions. The objective should clearly communicate the novel contribution of this manuscript. The conclusions should identify at least one specific implication and avoid boilerplate language such as "Implications will be discussed." Target length is no more than 250 words.
Each manuscript needs five keywords for indexing. Please consider keywords that are common synonyms for the forms of violence addressed in your manuscript. For example, if your study is on "intimate partner violence," it may help some readers find your work if you list "domestic violence" as a keyword.
References
List references in alphabetical order. Each listed reference should be cited in text, and each text citation should be listed in the references section.

Ethical Principles
It is a violation of APA Ethical Principles to publish "as original data, data that have been previously published" (Standard 8.13).
In addition, APA Ethical Principles specify that "after research results are published, psychologists do not withhold the data on which their conclusions are based from other competent professionals who seek to verify the substantive claims through reanalysis and who intend to use such data only for that purpose, provided that the confidentiality of the participants can be protected and unless legal rights concerning proprietary data preclude their release" (Standard 8.14).
APA expects authors to adhere to these standards. Specifically, APA expects authors to have their data available throughout the editorial review process and for at least 5 years after the date of publication.
Authors are required to state in writing that they have complied with APA ethical standards in the treatment of their sample, human or animal, or to describe the details of treatment.
