To submit a manuscript, first make sure you have a Word file from which the title page and all author-identifying references have been removed. Then, go to the web site at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/amj and follow the directions. Acknowledgements of others' help in preparing the paper for submission should be included in the letter to the editor that is featured as part of the web-based submission process. If you need assistance uploading your paper, please contact the Manuscript Central helpline weekdays between 12:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST at 434-964-4100 or 888-503-1050 (both U.S.-based numbers). If you are a new user this will be a two step process:

• First you establish your account by entering name and affiliation and address details. You may also be asked to enter a few keywords describing your work. Make sure at this stage that you do NOT submit your manuscript (despite the fact that there is the opportunity to upload a file).
• Second you go to "Author Center" where you provide information about the current manuscript that you are submitting. The instructions are fairly self-evident.

In order to facilitate processing of submissions, please make sure that:

	Your entire submission (including references) is double-spaced in 12-point or larger font with margins of one inch or more.
	Your abstract is 200 words or less.
	Your submission contains few and only necessary footnotes (not endnotes).
	There is nothing in your file that identifies the authors.
	Any hypotheses are explicitly identified as such.
	Constructs and variables are identified in words, not abbreviations.
