The American Psychological Association (1892) is the largest scientific and professional organization of psychologists in the United States, with around 117,500 members including scientists, educators, clinicians, consultants, and students.

10 3. Characteristic of a Good Manuscript 13 flaws that commonly lead to a "revise and resubmit" recommendation or to outright rejection: Bartol (1983; see also Eichorn & VandenBos, 1985) 1. inadequate literature review 2. inappropriate citations 3. unclear introductory section 4. ambiguous research question 5. inadequate sample description 6. inadequate description of methodology 7. inadequate account of measures 8. questionable statistical analysis 9. inappropriate statistical techniques 10. poorly crafted or conceived discussion 11. discussion that goes beyond the data and offers unwarranted conclusions 12. flaws in writing style 13. excessive length

11 3. Characteristic of a Good Manuscript 3 features of special significance in judging the quality of a research article : 1.Substantive Aspects 2.Methodological Aspects 3.Style

12 3. Characteristic of a Good Manuscript 3.1. Substantive Aspects Present the research problem early in the manuscript. Show how the problem is grounded, shaped, and directed by theory. Connect the problem to previous work in a literature review that is pertinent and informative but not exhaustive. State explicitly the hypotheses under investigation. Keep the conclusions within the boundaries of the findings. Demonstrate how the study has helped to resolve the original problem. Identify and discuss what theoretical or practical implications can be drawn from the study.

13 3. Characteristic of a Good Manuscript 3.2. Methodological Aspects (Clear and Clean) CLEAR Sharply defined and full description of the method : (a) the design or strategic plan for making the research question operational; (b) the sample and sampling method; (c) the instruments and/or materials, as appropriate, (d) the procedures for data collection; and (e) the statistical analysis

14 3. Characteristic of a Good Manuscript 3.2. Methodological Aspects (Clear and Clean) CLEAN Appropriate, valid, and unflawed methods of sampling, use of instruments and/or materials, procedures, and analysis (a) there is no confounding in the sample variables, (b) the sampling technique is appropriate, (c) the instruments and/or materials (if applicable) are reliable and valid, (d) The statistical procedures are sophisticated enough to examine the data and are appropriately applied.

15 3. Characteristic of a Good Manuscript 3.3. Style Editorial Style The mechanics of convention laid out in the Publication Manual. Writing Style The general principles of expository writing.

16 4. The Importance of the APA Publication Manual 4.1 The Importance The highly detailed may appear to be picky but necessary To keep down the high costs The richness of information not always noticed Getting familiar with the contents of all the chapters will lead the writer to be an effective user

Manuscript Preparation and Sample Papers to be Submitted for Publication 6. Material Other than Journal Articles 7. Manuscript Acceptance and Production 8. Journals Program of the American Psychological Association 9. Bibliography 10. Appendices

18 5. Turning a Thesis into a Publishable Manuscript Features Thesis Approaches to convert Length 200-plus pages pages, selecting - rewriting Selectivity Writing Style Interpretation of data Tendency to say everything Extensive knowledge do not follow APA style overuse of the passive voice, pedantry, artificiality, and redundancy Overinterpretation of the data. Unbridled faith in the strength of their results selective in presenting the problem write the significant results (only) avoid the common presentation pitfalls remove non-conforming content for the journal strive for clarity; get rid of extraneous words; avoid excessive reporting and repetition; be explicit, but not overly detailed; use the active voice; use correct grammar tighter theoretical framework A shorter review of the literature a more controlled presentation of methodology, a more restrained discussion of results

44 Just because something hasn t been done before doesn t mean it should be done You don t answer the so what question for me The paper doesn t make any theoretical contribution to the literature / Created by

45 "Are there some other independent, dependent, or moderating variables that would strengthen the paper?" "Are there some other theoretical perspectives the authors could use to increase the complexity of their ideas?" "Are there some specific citations you can provide them to guide them in subsequent literature reviews?" "Are there some articles (either on this topic or elsewhere in the literature) that you think are good exemplars or role models for research on this topic?" Created by

46 what data you want to see on the sample, what analyses aren t done that should be done, what analyses should be redone Created by

47 As in the Theory section, the reviewer try to give suggestion to the author for providing some specific paragraphs or sections which could be deleted without any loss of content, some places where generalizations could be toned down, and some ideas not yet discussed that could be. Created by

48 As a reviewer, we try to refrain from making the attribution that lack of attention to formatting details is a sign of lazy, inconsiderate, or disrespectful behavior on the part of the authors. Created by

49 Suggesting to authors that they might benefit from some editing from a colleague who is a native English speaker is a constructive idea. Created by
