  • A concise and informative title
  • The affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s)
  • The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author

To ensure 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; instead, author self-citation should be indicated by (Author, year) in the text. References should similarly list (Author, year) and exclude title, publisher, etc., to ensure blind review

Abstract

Please provide an abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.

Length of Manuscript

There is no page limit for manuscripts to be considered for publication. However, manuscripts that are eventually accepted for publication are normally between 20 to 30 pages (5,000 to 8,000 words) inclusive of all tables, text, and references.

Text Formatting

Manuscripts should be submitted in Word.

  • Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.
  • Use italics for emphasis.
  • Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
  • Do not use field functions.
  • Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
  • Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.
  • Use the equation editor or Math Type for equations.
  • Save your file in docx format (Word 2007 or higher) or doc format (older Word versions).

Headings

Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.

Footnotes

Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.

Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.

Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.

Citation

Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:

  • Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson, 1990).
  • This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman (1996).
  • This effect has been widely studied (Abbott, 1991; Barak at et al. 1995; Kelso and Smith, 1998; Medvec et al., 1999).

Reference list

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.

The style of the citation and references should confirm to APA style. JEAP follows the recommendations of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (Sixth Edition) or

Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work.

Review Process

Manuscripts submitted for consideration must be the original work of the submitting authors, not be previously published in any form - print or online - and be submitted only to the journal. Referees evaluate submitted manuscripts anonymously.

The JEAP uses a blind peer review process. All manuscripts submitted to the JEAP go through the following review procedure.

(1) All manuscripts are assessed the suitability for review and publication in the JEAP by the editorial board.

(2) For those judged suitable, at least three reviewers are selected and a double-blind peer review procedure proceeds

(3) Based on the recommendation from the reviewers, the editor decides whether the particular article should be accepted as it is, revised or rejected.

  1. Multiple publications refer to publishing the same manuscript in more than one journal.
  2. Misrepresenting authorship refers to failure to assign credit as authors to persons who made scientific or technological contributions to the research process or results, or assigning credit as authors to persons who did not make a scientific or technological contribution.
  3. Intentionally disrupting an investigation of one's own or another's actions or harming an informer.

Other acts that are substantially outside the limits of acceptable behavior in the academic field.

Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source.

Article Eight (Publication): An article is reviewed for publication on the understanding that the manuscript represents original work that has not been published, accepted, or is currently being considered for publication elsewhere.

Chapter 3. Investigation and Judgment of Research Misconducts

Article Nine (Investigation and Final Decision): Members of the Editorial Board investigate the unethical behaviors of suspected articles. When ethical issues are raised during the review process, Board members will review the paper to determine if the author(s) did anything unethical practice.

  1. A preliminary investigation can be undertaken to decide whether it is necessary to investigate an allegation of plagiarism, and should be commenced within 30 days after receiving the investigation.

If the subject of the investigation admits his or her plagiarism after the preliminary investigation, the Editorial Board can make a final decision without further investigation.

If the Editorial Board decides not to proceed after the preliminary investigation, a notice must be given to the informer in writing within 10 days after the decision, unless the informer was anonymous.

If the informer disagrees with the result of the preliminary investigation, he or she can file an appeal to the JEAP Editorial Board. The appeal must be filed within 30 days after the notice is made.
