Notes about commentaries for Stammering Research
ISSN 1742-5867
Once a manuscript has been accepted as a target article, the authors cannot change it. The manuscript
needs to be available for commentary before it is officially published so that commentaries and the
author’s responses can appear simultaneously.
Manuscripts are posted for commentary on http://www.psychol.ucl.ac.uk/ under Stammering Research.
Commentators are alerted as indicated on the previous page.
Manuscripts will be available for peer commentary for six weeks. Commentaries have to reach the
editor, or associate editor, responsible for the article within that time (late submissions will not be
accepted). Commentaries should ordinarily not exceed a total (including references and other material)
of 1,000 words. The commentaries have to conform to APA style conventions.
In order to appear in the same issue as the target article, commentaries should be sent by email as soon
as possible within the six-week period the article is open for peer commentary. The commentary should
appear within the body of the email text (not as an attachment) and be sent to psycholstammer@ucl.ac.uk
or to p.howell@ucl.ac.uk. Authors of target articles will receive commentaries as
they are accepted and have two weeks from close of submission of commentaries to complete their
responses. Commentaries that appear outside this timetable may appear as continuing commentaries in
subsequent issues (these are considered in the same way as commentaries that appear at the same time
as the target article.
Commentaries will be peer-reviewed and edited for style as well as content. Authors of commentaries
need to establish the relevance of their submission to the target article at the outset, and preferably also
show an awareness of the wider work of the target article’s author.
If there are several commentaries which raise the same point, the editorial board reserves the right to
group them together and prepare them as a single coauthored commentary. In this (probably rare)
eventuality, the authors will have the opportunity to see the manuscript and decide whether they wish
to be included on the list of authors.
Editing and revision of commentaries will be completed within two weeks of close of submission.
Revisions that are not satisfactorily completed in this period, or that are received late, may be published
as continuing commentaries.
