Notes for contributors to Lesbian & Gay Psychology Review
Articles
1. All articles will be peer reviewed. Article manuscripts (maximum 6000 words excluding references) should be typewritten in 12 point Arial font, double spaced with 1" margins on one side of A4 paper. Each manuscript should include a word count (both for the entire article and for the abstract).
2. On a separate sheet, include the author's name, professional address, telephone number, email address and current professional activity. As all academic articles are subjected to blind peer-review, the rest of the manuscript should be free of information identifying the author(s).
3. Empirical, theoretical and review articles should include an abstract (maximum 120 words) and up to six key words that describe the paper (for indexing purposes). Words in the abstract may be conserved by: using digits for numbers (except at the beginning of sentences); using well-known abbreviations; using the active voice. Graphs, diagrams, etc. should be supplied in camera ready form. Written permission should be obtained by the author for the reproduction of tables, diagrams, etc., from other sources.
4. Full bibliographic references should be contained in the list of references at the end of each article. They should be listed alphabetically by author, be complete, accurate and in APA format (see http://www.apastyle.org ). For example,
