Special Issue on William James and the Humanistic Revolution: Scholars Look Back and Ahead a Century After His Death (September 2010)

William James, the preeminent philosopher and psychologist, played a founding and fostering role for the humanistic-transpersonal vision within psychology, as well as many other specialties within psychology. The September 2010 issue of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology celebrates the centennial of James’ ground-breaking insights and reexamines his continuing influence on issues in contemporary psychology. Articles assess topics such as measuring the effectiveness of therapy, addiction recovery through programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous; the complexity and essential spirit of humanity, and the relevance of James’s pluralism, pragmatism, and radical empiricism for the neurosciences. This important issue is a must-read for everyone interested in the foundations of science!

    Manuscripts must be submitted electronically at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/johp, where you will be required to set up an online account on the Sage Track system powered by ScholarOne. Include a cover letter with address, e-mail, phone number, and fax number.
     

    Manuscript Preparation

    Authors are expected to follow the American Psychological Association (APA) Journal Article Reporting Standards (JARS), which can be found at https://apastyle.apa.org/jars

    Authors are also expected to carefully review and follow the APA guidelines for inclusive language, which can be found at https://www.apa.org/about/apa/equity-diversity-inclusion/language-guidelines.pdf

    As per the guidelines, authors should use person-first and identity-first language throughout their manuscripts. Language should be inclusive with regards to age; disability status; race, ethnicity, and culture; sexual orientation and gender diversity; and socioeconomic status. 

    Authors are encouraged to reflexively consider their own positionality in relation to the manuscript topic.  Following the APA Guidelines on Race and Ethnicity in Psychology (https://www.apa.org/about/policy/guidelines-race-ethnicity.pdf), authors are encouraged to include a positionality statement that addresses the following questions: Why am I conducting this project? What roles do my values and worldview play in my selection of the topic or (for research) study design? Does the design or framing of my project reinforce negative stereotypes about racial and ethnic or other minority populations? What are the policy implications of my findings? Could my research be misinterpreted or misused to negatively affect underrepresented groups? If so, what is my responsibility for addressing this issue? 

    Articles representing original research studies should also contain specific descriptions of all available information concerning participant demographics, including information related to racial and ethnic identity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability status, and socioeconomic status. When describing participant recruitment in the method section, authors should affirm that they worked to ensure diversity in participant recruitment. Constraints on the diversity and generalizability of the sample should be addressed in the limitations subsection of the discussion section. The years of data collection should be indicated in both the abstract and the method section.

    It is strongly recommended that manuscripts include references to scholarship and research conducted by authors from historically underrepresented groups.

    Manuscripts should be prepared using the APA Style Guide (Seventh Edition). All pages must be typed, double-spaced (including references, footnotes, and endnotes). Text must be in 12-point Times Roman. Block quotes may be single-spaced. Must include margins of 1inch on all the four sides and number all pages sequentially. Manuscripts should not exceed 15-25 double spaced pages.

    The manuscript should include four major sections(in this order): Title Page, Abstract, Main Body, and References. JHP conducts double-anonymous peer review. As such, the author's identifying information should only appear on the title page, which should be separate from the rest of the sections.

    Sections in a manuscript may include the following (in this order): (1) Title page, (2) Abstract, (3) Keywords, (4) Text, (5) Notes, (6) References, (7) Tables, (8) Figures, and (9) Appendices.

    1. Title page. Please include the following:

    • Full article title
    • Acknowledgments and credits
    • Each author’s complete name and institutional affiliation(s)
    • Grant numbers and/or funding information
    • Corresponding author (name, address, phone/fax, e-mail)

    2. Abstract. Print the abstract (150 to 250 words) on a separate page headed by the full article title. Omit author(s)’s names.

    3. Text. Begin article text on a new page headed by the full article title. The maximum length is 25 pages, double spaced.

    a. Headings and subheadings. Subheadings should indicate the organization of the content of the manuscript. Generally, three heading levels are sufficient to organize text. Level 1 heading should be Centered, Boldface, Upper & Lowercase, Level 2 heading should be Flush Left, Boldface, Upper & Lowercase, Level 3 heading should be Indented, boldface, lowercase paragraph heading that ends with a period, Level 4 heading should be Indented, boldface, italicized, lowercase paragraph heading that ends with a period, and Level 5 heading should be Indented, italicized, lowercase paragraph heading that ends with a period.

    b. Citations. For each text citation there must be a corresponding citation in the reference list and for each reference list citation there must be a corresponding text citation. Each corresponding citation must have identical spelling and year. Each text citation must include at least two pieces of information, author(s) and year of publication. Following are some examples of text citations:

    (i) Unknown Author: To cite worksthatdo not have an author, cite the source by its title in the signal phrase or use the first word or two in the parentheses. Eg. The findings are based on the study was done of students learning to format research papers ("Using XXX," 2001)
     

    (ii) Authors with the Same Last Name: use first initials with the last names to prevent confusion. Eg.(L. Hughes, 2001; P. Hughes, 1998)

    (iii) Two or More Works by the Same Author in the Same Year: For two sources by the same author in the same year, use lower-case letters (a, b, c) with the year to order the entries in the reference list. The lower-case letters should follow the year in the in-text citation.Eg.Research by Freud (1981a) illustrated that…

    (iv) Personal Communication: For letters, e-mails, interviews,and other person-to-person communication, citation should include the communicator's name, the fact that it was personal communication, and the date of the communication. Do not include personal communication in the reference list.Eg.(E. Clark, personal communication, January 4, 2009).
     

    (v) Unknown Author and Unknown Date: For citations with no author or date, use the title in the signal phrase or the first word or two of the title in the parentheses and use the abbreviation "n.d." (for "no date").Eg. The study conducted by of students and research division discovered that students succeeded with tutoring ("Tutoring and APA," n.d.).

    5. Notes. If explanatory notes are required for your manuscript, insert a number formatted in superscript following almost any punctuation mark. Footnote numbers should not follow dashes ( — ), and if they appear in a sentence in parentheses, the footnote number should be inserted within the parentheses. The Footnotes should be added at the bottom of the page after the references. The word “Footnotes” should be centered at the top of the page.

    6. References. References should follow APA style (7th edition) formatting

    Orcid

    As part of our commitment to ensuring an ethical, transparent and fair peer review process Sage is a supporting member of ORCID, the Open Researcher and Contributor ID. ORCID provides a unique and persistent digital identifier that distinguishes researchers from every other researcher, even those who share the same name, and, through integration in key research workflows such as manuscript and grant submission, supports automated linkages between researchers and their professional activities, ensuring that their work is recognized.

    The collection of ORCID iDs from corresponding authors is now part of the submission process of this journal. If you already have an ORCID iD you will be asked to associate that to your submission during the online submission process. We also strongly encourage all co-authors to link their ORCID ID to their accounts in our online peer review platforms. It takes seconds to do: click the link when prompted, sign into your ORCID account and our systems are automatically updated. Your ORCID iD will become part of your accepted publication’s metadata, making your work attributable to you and only you. Your ORCID iD is published with your article so that fellow researchers reading your work can link to your ORCID profile and from there link to your other publications.

    If you do not already have an ORCID iD please follow this link to create one or visit our ORCID homepage to learn more.
