Manuscript Submissions
Operant Subjectivity is the official journal of the International Society for the Scientific Study of Subjectivity. Its primary mission is to foster understanding of subjectivity through presentation of original research, theoretical and philosophical critique, and methodological clarification. An anonymous peer-reviewer process assists the Editor and Editorial Board to select manuscripts for publication. Manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor via electronic mail.

Instructions for Authors
Ordinarily, manuscripts should be 6,000 to 12,000 words in length, accompanied by a 200-word abstract. Manuscripts should follow the style of the 5th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (5th ed., 2001). All copy should be typed, double-spaced in Times New Roman 12-point font with notes, references, tables, and figures appearing at the end of the manuscript. All tables and figures should be included in the electronic file. Submissions are assumed to be original work for publication not under consideration elsewhere.
Author Identification
Manuscripts should include a cover sheet with the title, author's name, address, phone number, and email address, along with a brief biographical statement (2-3 sentences). As a rule, the submitting author's email address will be used as a contact address for communication from the editors, and will be published with accepted manuscripts. If the manuscript was authored by more than one person, all authors' names, email addresses, phone numbers, and biographical statements should also be included. However, to assure appropriate blind review, the author's name or identifying information should NOT appear in headers, footers, reference list, or other portions of the manuscript text. Information that would identify the author should be replaced with the word "Author" in lieu of the author's name or identifying information.
APA Guidance
Two excellent on-line guides to APA style are:
| APA Research Style Crib Sheet by Russ Dewey Georgia Southern University Psychology Department [Emeritus] | |
| APA Style and Formatting Guide by David Neyhart and Erin Karper. Additional material by Kristen Seas |
Tables
Place all tables at the end of the paper, not in the text. Use centred brackets to indicate the approximate place of the Table:
| [Table 3 about here] |
Use MS-Word to draw tables when possible. Do not add shading, remove or change the appearance of gridlines, or vary the type size or appearance in the table.
Language
Operant Subjectivity accepts manuscripts using British or American English spelling and grammar.
