Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics

Submission guidelines

Instructions for Authors

General Information

Attention, Perception & Psychophysics (APP) publishes articles that deal with sensory processes, perception, attention, and psychophysics. There are four types of submission:

a. Research Articles - These articles typically describe several experiments unified by an introduction and a closing discussion placing the experiments in the context of other work in the field and providing a coherent theoretical account of the new knowledge found in the results of those experiments. While the majority of published articles are reports of experimental investigations in these content areas, articles that are primarily theoretical or integrative are also welcome. There are no explicit length restrictions, but an acceptable article must make a substantial contribution to the field.

b. Brief Reports – This format is intended to facilitate the rapid publication of breaking news of general interest to the APP community. Brief reports are limited to 3000 words of main body text plus figures. A cover letter to the Editor should explain why this is appropriate as a Brief Report.

c. Tutorial Reviews (invited/self-nominations accepted) – Tutorial Reviews are intended to serve as high-level introductory reviews of relatively broad topics in the domain of the journal (e.g., “Perception of biological motion”, not “Review of the role of amygdala in perception of inverted biological motion in infants”). Length is “moderate” (i.e. shorter than Annual Review chapters, longer than Current Directions in Psychological Science articles). Bibliography should be extensive. Please note: Tutorial reviews ordinarily are commissioned by invitation but self-nominations are welcome. Send a brief email to any editor describing the proposed review and providing a bare outline.

d. Registered Reports or Replications (RR) – This format is intended to strengthen the reliability and validity of the results in our science. RR submission is a two-stage process. Authors submit a proposed study. If it passes initial review, APP will commit to publishing the results, regardless of the outcome, if the final study conforms with the initially approved proposal. The Registered Report format is appropriate for studies that seek to test clearly articulated, theoretically significant hypotheses (e.g., Theory A predicts X whereas Theory B predicts Y). Replications should be precise replications (with possible extensions) of theoretically important findings. The initial submission would approximate the background and method sections of a relatively short standard research article.

The initial submission of a RR should include the following items:

i. A cover letter to the Editor explaining why the submission is appropriate as a Registered Report or Replication.

ii. The background section should describe the theory under investigation and the specific hypotheses that lead to the procedures proposed. This is not the place for methodological and/or theoretical innovations: Our standard Article and Short Report formats serve those roles. The RR format is a mechanism for confirming or disconfirming prominent theories and findings in the field.

iii. The background section should briefly report the previous, related experiments, published or unpublished, conducted by the authors (in addition to the usual background of prior work).

iv. The proposed method section must specify all of the variables, both independent and dependent, in the experiment.

v. The proposed method section must address the issue of statistical power although we recognize that classic power analysis may not be appropriate for all designs.

vi. The proposed method section must specify a clear rule for terminating data collection (number of observers, number of trials, etc).
