name: jcp-submission
description: Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript — manuscript type and length, APA formatting, double-blind anonymization, the open-science / data-materials package, and the Wiley ScholarOne portal. Final checks; it does not draft content.

# Submission Preflight (jcp-submission)

## When to trigger

- "Submitting this week" — last check before uploading to JCP
- Unsure which manuscript type your paper is, or whether it fits the length limit
- Confirming APA formatting, anonymization, and the open-science deposit are in order
- Assembling the data/materials/code package and disclosure statements

## Process facts (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准; the resources source-map still says Elsevier — JCP is now Wiley)

- JCP is the journal of the **Society for Consumer Psychology (SCP)**, APA Division 23, published by **Wiley** (it migrated from Elsevier). pISSN 1057-7408, eISSN 1532-7663. **Editor-in-Chief: David Wooten (term 2024–2026), with Co-Editors Rajesh Bagchi and Aparna Labroo; incoming EiC Rajesh Bagchi (Virginia Tech), 2027–2029** (verified 2026-06-22 via myscp.org / Wiley; re-verify the masthead before submission). Submission is via Wiley's **ScholarOne / Manuscript Central** portal at **mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jconsumerpsychology** (verified 2026-06-22; confirm the live link on the Wiley/myscp author page).
- **Manuscript types**: **Research Article** (≤50 double-spaced pages including abstract, references, tables, and figures); **Research Report** (**<4,000 words** excluding abstract, references, tables, and figures); **Conceptual Review** (≤50 pages); **Research Dialogue**.
- **Formatting**: **APA Style** (confirm 6th vs 7th on the current author page; APA 7 is the field default as of 2026 — 待核实). Double-spaced; title page, abstract, keywords.
- **Review model**: **double-blind** (待核实) — the manuscript must be anonymized.
- **Open science**: JCP is committed to transparency and reproducibility and to APA ethical standards. Authors may **pre-register** with an analysis plan in an independent registry (OSF/AsPredicted); plan to **share data and materials** (verify whether deposit is required vs. encouraged on the current page).
- There is **no submission fee** for standard submission to this hybrid Wiley journal; an APC applies **only if you choose open access** — **$3,570 USD / £2,380 GBP / €3,010 EUR** as of 2026-06-22 (Wiley funded-access page; may be covered by a Wiley Open Access Account). Re-verify the current amount before submission.

## Preflight checklist

### Manuscript type & length
- [ ] Correct type chosen (Article / Report / Review / Dialogue)
- [ ] Research Article ≤50 double-spaced pages **including** abstract/refs/tables/figures
- [ ] Research Report **<4,000 words** excluding abstract/refs/tables/figures
- [ ] Abstract within limit; keywords included (待核实 exact abstract word cap on the author page)

### Format & anonymization
- [ ] **APA Style** throughout (headings, citations, references, statistics, tables/figures)
- [ ] Double-spaced; title page separate; pages numbered
- [ ] Manuscript **anonymized** for double-blind review (no author names, no self-identifying citations in the body, scrubbed file metadata)
- [ ] Effect sizes and CIs reported; tables not asterisk-only

### Open science & disclosures
- [ ] Pre-registration links included where studies were registered; deviations described
- [ ] **Data + materials + analysis code** deposited (OSF / ResearchBox / repository) with a review-accessible (anonymized) link
- [ ] All conditions and measures disclosed; sample-size determination and exclusion rules stated
- [ ] Ethics/IRB statement; conflicts of interest; funding; author contributions
- [ ] Confirmed the paper is not under review elsewhere; AI not listed as an author

## Anti-patterns

- Submitting a one-mechanism finding as a 50-page Article (or four studies as a Report)
- Leaving author-identifying citations or file metadata in a double-blind submission
- Treating open data/materials as a post-acceptance chore instead of preparing it now
- Asterisk-only tables with no effect sizes/CIs (fails the rigor-era bar)
- Quoting "Elsevier / Editorial Manager" from the stale source map — re-verify on the Wiley/myscp page
