Information About Submissions

The page limit for research manuscripts is 25–30 pages. The page limit is inclusive of all parts of the manuscript, including the cover page, abstract, text, references, tables and figures.

Authors may request consideration of longer papers, in advance of submission, when there is clear justification for additional length (e.g., the paper reports on two or more studies or has an unusual or complex methodology).

Scholarly reviews and meta-analyses should not exceed 25 pages, but tables and references may be outside this page limit.

Brief reports are encouraged for innovative work that may be premature for publication as a full research report because of small sample size, novel methodologies, etc. Brief reports should be designated as such and should not exceed a total of 12 pages, inclusive of all parts of the manuscript, including the cover page, abstract, text, references, tables and figures.

All manuscripts should be double-spaced, with margins of at least 1 inch on all sides and a standard font (e.g., Times New Roman) of 12 points (no smaller).

Health Psychology considers letters concerning previously published articles. Letters should be no more than 500 words and have a maximum of five references.

Authors also have the option of placing supplemental materials online.

Submissions that exceed the page limits will be returned to the author for shortening prior to the initiation of peer review.
