Article Structure > AUTHORS > Article Structure


* Preparation

Articles submitted should be between 4,000 – 7,000 words. This length does not include tables, figures, and references. JSST uses the APA (American Psychological Association, 7th edition) style guidelines for written works. Italics should not be used for Latin expressions, indent each paragraph, leave no space between paragraphs, double-space after each sentence, avoid full justification, number all pages consecutively, and present tables and figures on separate pages at the end of the manuscript.

* Authors should follow the APA 7th Edition

Subdivision
Articles should be divided into clearly defined sections. Headings may be given to each section. The heading should appear on its own line.

Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, the appendices should be identified as A, B, C, and so on. Formulae, charts, tables, figures, and equations should each receive their own separate heading, ie.: Table a.1, Figure b.2.

Essential Title Page Information
There are two kinds of title pages. The first is sent out for a blind review, and it should include only the title. The second is for editors, and it should include full information about the article.

  • Title
    Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
  • Author names and affiliations. In cases where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please clarify this. Present the authors' affiliation addresses if relevant (where the actual work was done), below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and the e-mail address of each author.
  • Designation of Corresponding author.
    Clearly indicate those who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, as well as post-publication. Make sure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and complete postal addresses.
  • Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting the area at the time the work was done, a "Present address" (or "Permanent address") may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at the location in which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.

Highlights
Highlights are made from a short collection of bullet points that show the major results of your research as well as new methods that were used in the study (if any new methods exist). Highlights should be submitted separately from the manuscript in the area marked ‘Highlights’ in the auto-submission system. Please name the file ‘Highlights’ and include a maximum of 100 words.

Abstract
An abstract is required. It should concisely state the purpose of the research, the results, and any major conclusion. Abstracts are often presented separately from articles, so the abstract should be able to stand alone. References and abbreviations should be avoided in abstracts. Abstracts should be between 200-250 words.

Keywords
Following the abstract, up to five keywords should be provided. Keywords should avoid general and plural terms, as well as multiple concepts. Avoid abbreviations.

Acknowledgements
Acknowledgements should be placed in a separate section at the end of the article, before references. Acknowledgements should include any persons who provided help during the research.

Formatting of funding sources
Funding resources should be listed in a standardized way, following compliance to funder’s requirements. Including detailed descriptions of the program or type of grants and awards is not necessary. If the research is financially supported by KSST research funding, please write: This research was funded by the International Society for Sandplay Therapy.

Footnotes
Avoid using footnotes. If used, they should be numbered consecutively. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
