Manuscript Editing for International Journal of Transpersonal Studies Articles
The International Journal of Transpersonal Studies was founded in 1981 as the Australian Journal of Transpersonal Psychology and took its current name in 1993. It publishes scholarship and empirical research in transpersonal psychology and related fields, often on potentials for optimal human development and transformation. Its subjects include states of mind linked to interconnectedness, mystical experience, and the contemplative traditions that cultivate it. It also questions uncritical acceptance of conventional Western philosophical assumptions. The Floraglades Foundation publishes it twice a year, and it has been the official publication of the International Transpersonal Association since 2010.
General and Special Topics manuscripts run up to 10,000 words, counting text, references, and notes; Reader Comments run up to 4,000. The journal's policies page names the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, as its style. Notes are discouraged, and any notes are endnotes. The abstract runs up to 120 words, with four to twelve keywords. The house style replaces unspecified we, us, and our, limits Latin abbreviations to et al., and puts authors' expressions in the past tense. Human-subjects research needs evidence of IRB approval and signed consent. Empirical articles add a cover-letter statement on APA ethics compliance and five-year data availability. After an editorial screening, review is double-blind, typically with three reviewers. Off the Grid Editing applies the APA edition the journal names and its house style checks. Submissions go through the journal's Digital Commons portal.
