Because History of Psychology publishes manuscripts submitted by psychologists, by historians, and by other scholars, authors may choose for their manuscript style the form specified either in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition) or in The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed., University of Chicago Press). If the latter style is chosen, reference lists should be eliminated or incorporated into endnotes.

Masked Review Policy
Manuscripts will receive a masked review. Please include with the manuscript a cover sheet, which shows the title of the manuscript, the authors' names and institutional affiliations, and the date the manuscript is submitted.
The first page of the manuscript should omit the authors' names, and affiliations but should include the title of the manuscript and the submission date. Footnotes containing information pertaining to the authors' identity or affiliations should be on separate pages.
Every effort should be made to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to the authors' identity.
Essay Reviews
History of Psychology publishes essay reviews of thematically related sets of books and other media addressing issues important to an understanding of psychology's past.
Examples include
- an assessment of implications for the understanding of experimental work in psychology of recent studies of other scientists' laboratory practice
- a comparative analysis of two or three new biographies of a particular psychologist
- a review of recent films and videotapes on significant psychological theorists.
- Each submitted essay review should be written with the journal's readership in mind and will undergo the same peer-review procedures as all other articles submitted to the journal.
Potential authors of such essay reviews should discuss their ideas with the editor before beginning to write them.
The journal will inform the institutions of authors of all accepted reviews of the parity of such essay reviews with the other articles published in History of Psychology.
The journal will not publish reviews of single books except in highly unusual circumstances.
For further information, and to discuss possible topics for essay reviews, please contact the History of Psychology Editor.
Teaching History of Psychology
The history of psychology can provide compelling examples of
research and theory that are pedagogically useful in teaching current
psychological concepts and constructs. This section on Teaching the History of
Psychology will provide instructors with historical ideas that aid the teaching
of varied courses in the psychology curriculum.
Submissions to the Teaching the History of Psychology
section can vary in length but should be approximately 1,500-1,800 words. They
should focus on a single topic and include five basic components: (a) a brief
statement of the issue, (b) identification of the contemporary course or
courses that relate to the manuscript, (c) useful pedagogical questions to aid
instructors teaching the course, (d) the historical issues relating to the
topic, and (e) potential answers to the pedagogical questions. References in manuscripts should include
primary sources, although secondary sources may be appropriate in some
circumstances. References that are not primarily psychological in nature can
provide additional insight into the issues and may also be appropriate.
For further information, and to discuss possible topics, please contact the Teaching of the History of Psychology Editor.

One, the section will serve to highlight archives, archival activity, and other resources for historical scholarship; such as newly discovered historical material (Sources). Two, the section will provide a venue for brief research notes and discussion of methodologies in historical research (Research Notes). The third purpose is to provide a place for news relevant to the history of psychology community as described below.
