To expedite assessment, 2 original manuscripts should be submitted.
All submissions should be in the style of the American Psychological
Association (Publication Manual, Fourth edition, 1994). Papers should

In order to improve accuracy and expedite publication, authors
are requested to submit the final and revised version of their manuscript
on disk. The disk should contain the paper saved in its original
application software (e.g. WordPerfect or Microsoft Word), and as
either Word for Macintosh, rich text format (RTF) if available,
or as a text or ASCII (plain) text file. The disk should be clearly
labelled with the author(s) name, paper title, file names and the
software used. A good quality copy of the manuscript is always required.
References. All publications cited in the text should be listed
following the text; similarly, all references listed must be mentioned
in the text. Within the text references should be indicated by the
author's name and year of publication in parentheses, e.g. (Hellige,
1993) or (Geschwind & Levitski, 1968), or if there are more
than two authors (Russo et al., 2000). Where several references
are quoted consecutively, or within a single year, within the text
the order should be alphabetical. If more than one paper from the
same author(s) and year are listed, the date should be followed
by (a), (b), etc..
