MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION. One (1) electronic copy (on floppy disc, CD, or e-mail) of the manuscript should be submitted to the Editor. The electronic version must be in MS Word version 6 or higher. Manuscripts typically range in length from 20-30 double-spaced pages including references, tables, and figures. Text, references, and tables must be prepared according to the guidelines detailed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5 th edition). The title page should include the title of the article, and the name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number for each author. Each manuscript must be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 150 words and all lines in the manuscript must be consecutively numbered. The receipt of all manuscripts will be acknowledged within one week of receipt. Manuscripts are subjected to a double-blind refereed review process. Typically, three individuals, plus the Editor, review each manuscript. Reviewers' comments and a letter indicating the publication decision will be sent to the author approximately 3-4 months following receipt. Manuscripts accepted for publication are usually published within one year of formal acceptance. To defray rising publication costs, authors who are not members of ACTER will be required to pay a $50.00 fee if their manuscript is accepted for publication. Published authors will receive two complimentary copies of CTER.
