Form corrections 
Articles must follow the American Psychological Association (APA) style manual 
(See below). 

Guidelines for text format: 
Spacing: Double-space between all lines of the manuscript, including the text, 
title, headings, endnotes, quotations, references, figure captions, and tables. 
Margins: Leave margins of 1 in. (2.54 cm) at the top, bottom, right, and left 
of every page. Pagination: Number all pages consecutively. Arrange the pages of 
the manuscript in the following order: 
¡P Title page (p. 1): title, author name(s), affiliation(s), running head 
¡P Abstract (page 2) 
¡P Text (start on page 3) 
¡P References (following the text; start on a new page) 
¡P Appendixes (start each on a separate page) 
¡P Author note (optional) 
¡P Endnotes (start on a new page) 
¡P Tables (each on a separate page; continue consecutive page numbering) 
¡P Figure captions (list together, starting on separate page) 
¡P Figures (each on a separate page ) 
Headings: If you have used a numbered system of headings, please replace it 
with the APA system. Be sure that there are at least TWO headings in each 
level; a single heading will not be permitted. Running head: In the header of 
each page, include a shortened form of the title in the upper right-hand corner 
before the page number. The running head should consist of no more than 50 
characters (including letters and spaces). Emphasis: Avoid the use of quotation 
marks and italics (underlining) for emphasis. Reserve (italics) underlining 
primarily for language examples. Avoid the use of bolding in the text.

Guidelines for references:
In-text citations: Sources cited or referred to in the text should indicate the 
author's surname, publication date, and page number(s) when pertinent: (Gass, 
1994; Lightbown & Spada, 1994, p. 563); if more than one citation appears in 
parenthetical material, they should appear in alphabetical order. When the 
author's name is part of the text, follow this form: Schumann (1994) argued 
that... 
Reference list: All in-text citations must be listed in full in the reference 
list at the end of the article. Begin the reference list on a separate page 
entitled "References" and double-space it throughout. Each entry must include 
the author's name, co-authors (if any), publication date, and title of the 
work. For a journal article, also provide the name of the journal, volume 
number, and page numbers for the article. For an article in an edited volume, 
include the editor's name, title of the volume, and page numbers of the 
article. For a book or monograph, include the edition, place of publication, 
and name of publisher. Punctuate and capitalize as in the following examples:

Guidelines for tables and figures:
For reasons of space, keep the number of tables and figures to a minimum. 
Copyright permission is required for tables, texts, and figures reproduced from 
another source. 
Tables: 
¡P Include a brief but explanatory heading 
¡P Use horizontal lines but no vertical lines 
¡P Provide a heading for each column 
¡P Explain abbreviations in a note under each table 
¡P Present comparable tables consistently 
¡P Refer to each table in the text
¡P Use 12-point Times New Roman font
Figures: 
¡P Dimensions should not exceed 4" wide by 4 1/2" long. (CUP can ?reduce larger 
figures, but lettering size may be a problem; for best results prepare figures 
to size.) 
¡P Prepare each figure on a separate sheet, without caption, page number, or 
running head; figure captions are listed together on a preceding sheet. 
¡P Identify each figure lightly in pencil on the back of the sheet.
