Author Guidelines

The American Journal of Human Ecology (AJHE) utilizes an open access platform for manuscript submission and peer review. Please adhere to the Manuscript Submission guidelines outlined below, then visit the journal's website to register and submit your article online. All papers must be submitted through the online system.

AJHE evaluates manuscripts on the condition that they are submitted exclusively to AJHE and have not been previously published, nor are they under consideration for publication or in press elsewhere. To expedite the review process, prepare your submission in accordance with the following format:

  1. Word Limit: Articles should not exceed 10,000 words, excluding references.
  2. Cover Page: Include the manuscript title, all author names, corresponding affiliations, complete mailing addresses, and email addresses.
  3. Title Page: The second page should feature the manuscript title, an abstract (no more than 200 words summarizing the manuscript's purpose, method, key findings, conclusions, and/or recommendations), and up to seven keywords for indexing purposes. Do not include any identifying information about the author(s) on this page to facilitate the double-blind review process.
  4. Text: Structure the text with an introduction, main body (including literature review, method, results, analysis, and discussion, as appropriate), and conclusions. Format text citations as follows: (Bram, 1994) or (Aronsson, 2001, 2002; Labonte & Laverack, 2005; Kwan, et al., 2003) or (Limbert, 2004, p.7) (for quoted material). Define abbreviations in parentheses upon their first appearance in the text.
  5. References: Follow the style guidelines outlined in the sixth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for all manuscripts.

Article Processing Charge: If your paper is accepted for publication, a fee of 400 USD will be required.
