What Is Manuscript Central?

Manuscript Central is an online system used by journal editorial offices to manage the submission and peer review of articles. It is a product of Thomson Reuters.

In order to facilitate processing of submissions, please make sure that:

Your entire submission (including references) is double-spaced in 12-point or larger font with margins of one inch or more.
Your abstract is 200 words or less.
Your submission contains few and only necessary footnotes (not endnotes).
There is nothing in your file that identifies the authors.
Any hypotheses are explicitly identified as such.
Constructs and variables are identified in words, not abbreviations.
Any prior publication of the data featured in the manuscript is explicitly acknowledged either in the manuscript or in the transmittal letter to the editor. (Any forthcoming or "in press" articles which use the data should be forwarded to the editor.)
To insure author anonymity, manuscript "properties" (under FILE in Microsoft Word) should be erased prior to submission.
