Sport and Exercise Psychology Review - Sport Psychology Goes to ...

Notes for Contributors
Sport & Exercise Psychology Review is designed to provide a forum for the dissemination of information to
the Division of Sport and Exercise Psychology membership and other interested parties. It contains
articles, research notes, commentaries, student member items, book reviews and conference reports, and
the Editorial Board would also like to encourage submissions for a Conference Diary, along with News
of Members. Authors who are in doubt as to whether their work falls within the remit of SEPR are invited
to send brief preliminary details to members of the Editorial Board for advice.
Articles: Individual articles are published on all aspects of sport and exercise psychology up to a
maximum of 3,000 words in length. Articles may provide a broad overview of a particular area or issue,
or add a critical commentary on recent articles in SEPR. Articles concerned with the training of sport
and exercise psychologists and the application and practice of sport and exercise psychology are
particularly welcome, as are articles focussing on teaching sport and exercise psychology. All articles will
be subject to review.
Research Notes: Informative reviews (1,000 words maximum) of papers published in peer-reviewed
journals that would be of interest to the SEPR readership are welcome. Please send a copy of the full
paper to the Editor along with the Research Note.
Book Reviews: Books are generally reviewed by invitation only. However, persons interested in writing a
book review should contact the Editor in the first instance.
Student Members: Items of particular relevance to student members of the Division of Sport and Exercise
Psychology are included in this feature.
Conference Reports: Brief reports on conferences of interest to the Division of Sport and Exercise
Psychology are welcome, but it is suggested to contact the Editor first. These should focus on what is new
and of general interest, rather than include background information about conferences.
Submissions
All submissions should be made electronically, and sent as an attachment compatible with Microsoft
Word (for PC) to the Editor. If it is impossible to submit material electronically, mail one original copy
and a disk version in Microsoft Word (for PC) to the Editor at the address below. Contributors are
requested to provide postal addresses, telephone numbers and, where possible, fax numbers and e-mail
address. A submission to SEPR implies that it has not been published elsewhere, and that it is not under
consideration for publication. Accepted articles may have to wait for subsequent issues for publication.
All submissions should be typewritten, double spaced, with 1in margins in 12 point Times New Roman
font. Authors should follow the British Psychological Society Guidelines for the Use of Non-Sexist
Language contained in the Code of Conduct, Ethical Principles and Guidelines (available from the Society or
from www.bps.org.uk/documents/code.pdf). References should conform to the guidelines outlined in
the Society’s Style Guide, available at www.bps.org.uk/documents/styleguide.pdf, which is based on the
Publication Manual (5th ed.) of the American Psychological Association.
Contributors are also asked to keep tables and figures to a minimum. All artwork should be sent in a
high-resolution PDF, EPS or TIFF format. Written permission should be obtained by authors for the
reproduction of any material from other sources. Submissions that do not conform to these
requirements will be returned for correction, and thus be delayed in publication.
The Editorial Board reserves the right to edit all copy published, although all reasonable attempts will be
made to contact authors with regard to changes. Proofs of articles will not normally be sent to authors, unless
requested. All authors of accepted submissions will be required to assign copyright to the Society.
All submissions should be sent to: David Lavallee, Editor, Sport & Exercise Psychology Review,
Loughborough University, School of Sport and Exercise Sciences, Loughborough LE11 3TU.
