CRediT offers authors the opportunity to share an accurate and detailed description of their diverse contributions to a manuscript.</p> <p>Submitting authors will be asked to identify the contributions of all authors at initial submission according to this taxonomy. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, the CRediT designations will be published as an Author Contributions Statement in the author note of the final article. All authors should have reviewed and agreed to their individual contribution(s) before submission.</p> <p>CRediT includes 14 contributor roles, as described below:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Conceptualization:</strong> Ideas; formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims.</li> <li><strong>Data curation:</strong> Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data and maintain research data (including software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later reuse.</li> <li><strong>Formal analysis:</strong> Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or synthesize study data.</li> <li><strong>Funding acquisition:</strong> Acquisition of the financial support for the project leading to this publication.</li> <li><strong>Investigation:</strong> Conducting a research and investigation process, specifically performing the experiments, or data/evidence collection.</li> <li><strong>Methodology:</strong> Development or design of methodology; creation of models.</li> <li><strong>Project administration:</strong> Management and coordination responsibility for the research activity planning and execution.</li> <li><strong>Resources:</strong> Provision of study materials, reagents, materials, patients, laboratory samples, animals, instrumentation, computing resources, or other analysis tools.</li> <li><strong>Software:</strong> Programming, software development; designing computer programs; implementation of the computer code and supporting algorithms; testing of existing code components.</li> <li><strong>Supervision:</strong> Oversight and leadership responsibility for the research activity planning and execution, including mentorship external to the core team.</li> <li><strong>Validation:</strong> Verification, whether as a part of the activity or separate, of the overall replication/reproducibility of results/experiments and other research outputs.</li> <li><strong>Visualization:</strong> Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically visualization/data presentation.</li> <li><strong>Writing—original draft:</strong> Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work, specifically writing the initial draft (including substantive translation).</li> <li><strong>Writing—review and editing:</strong> Preparation, creation and/or presentation of the published work by those from the original research group, specifically critical review, commentary or revision—including pre- or post-publication stages.</li> </ul> <p>Authors can claim credit for more than one contributor role, and the same role can be attributed to more than one author. Not all roles will be applicable to a particular scholarly work.</p> <h2>Masked review policy</h2> <p>Author names and affiliations should appear in the cover letter but not anywhere on the manuscript. Authors should make every reasonable effort to see that the manuscript itself contains no clues to their identities, including their names, affiliations, grant titles and numbers, names of institutions providing IRB approval, “in press” or other potentially identifying self-citations (e.g., insert “[authors, blinded for review]” instead), and links to non-anonymous online repositories for data, materials, code, or preregistrations(e.g., <a href="https://help.osf.io/hc/en-us/articles/360019930333-Create-a-View-only-Link-for-a-Project" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" id="pubsLink_Journal_26" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="https://help.osf.io/hc/en-us/articles/360019930333-Create-a-View-only-Link-for-a-Project" data-ai-action="redirect">create an anonymous view-only link for a project</a>). Manuscripts not in masked format will be returned to authors for revision prior to being reviewed. Grant titles and numbers, names of institutions providing IRB approval, self-citations, and non-anonymous links to online repositories can either be inserted in the final version for production or in the proof that will be sent to authors during production.</p> <p>Authors have the opportunity to suggest reviewers for their submitted manuscripts. We <strong>encourage authors to recommend reviewers</strong> who are members of our board of consulting editors. Suggested reviewers should have expertise related to the theories and methods used in the submission, but should be individuals free of potential (or perceived) conflicts (e.g., coauthors of a paper in the past five years, current collaborators, mentors, students).</p> <h2>Original use of data</h2> <p>APA requires that all data in their published articles be an original use. Along with determining the appropriateness of any submission, the editorial team (editor and reviewers) also have a role in determining what constitutes "original use." Key to this determination is the extent to which reported data and results serve to promote cumulative knowledge and insight to the literature.</p> <p>In order to preserve masked review, authors should include a data transparency statement and/or table in both the cover letter and Data Transparency Statement/Table item which detail how and where the data collected were (or potentially will soon be) used (please see link below for examples). Any previous, concurrent, or near future use of data (and/or sample) reported in a submitted manuscript must be brought to the editorial team's attention (i.e., any paper(s) previously published, in press, or currently under review at any journals, as well as any paper(s) that foreseeably will be under review before an editorial decision is made on the current submitted manuscript). This includes variables that overlap as well as those that may not overlap with those in the submitted article. Authors may also put in any other clarifying information they wish in the manuscript, as long as it can be done anonymously. Any identifying information, such as authors' names or titles of journal articles that the authors wish to share can be included in the cover letter where only the editorial staff will see it.</p> <p>When providing information in the Data Transparency Statement/Table item, authors should ensure there is enough detail for the editorial team (editor and reviewers) to assess whether data presented constitute original use and unique knowledge and insights. <em>Psychology and Aging</em> discourages scientific data overuse, which has been defined as “the repeated and excessive use of a single dataset, giving rise to many published findings that are not independent of one another” and which “creates dependency among published research papers giving the false impression of independent contributions to knowledge by reporting the same associations over multiple papers” (Mroczek et al., 2022, p. 141).</p> <p>For more information on APA's data policies, please see "Duplicate and Piecemeal Publication of Data," APA <em>Publication Manual</em> (Section 1.16, 7th Edition, p. 17–20).</p> <p>Access examples of <a href="/pubs/journals/pag/data-transparency-statements-table" id="pubsLink_Journal_27" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="/pubs/journals/pag/data-transparency-statements-table" data-ai-action="redirect">data transparency statements and table</a>.</p> <p class="reference">Mroczek, D.

The standards offer ways to improve transparency in reporting to ensure that readers have the information necessary to evaluate the quality of the research and to facilitate collaboration and replication.</p> <p>The JARS:</p> <ul> <li>Recommend the division of hypotheses, analyses, and conclusions into primary, secondary, and exploratory groupings to allow for a full understanding of quantitative analyses presented in a manuscript and to enhance reproducibility;</li> <li>Offer modules for authors reporting on replications, clinical trials, longitudinal studies, and observational studies, as well as the analytic methods of structural equation modeling and Bayesian analysis;</li> <li>Include guidelines on reporting of study preregistration (including making protocols public); participant characteristics (including demographic characteristics; inclusion and exclusion criteria) psychometric characteristics of outcome measures and other variables, and planned data diagnostics and analytic strategy.</li> </ul> <h3>Participant description, sample justification, and informed consent</h3> <p>Authors must include a detailed description of the study participants in the Method section of each empirical report, including the following:</p> <ul> <li>Age</li> <li>Sex / Gender</li> <li>Racial identity / Ethnicity</li> </ul> <p>Authors are encouraged to include any other relevant demographics (e.g., nativity or immigration history; socioeconomic status; clinical diagnoses and comorbidities) as appropriate.</p> <p>Authors are encouraged to justify their sample demographics and discuss the diversity of their study samples and the generalizability of their findings in the discussion section of the manuscript, and to appropriately temper conclusions in the abstract. If Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic (WEIRD) or all-White samples are used, authors should justify their samples and describe their sample inclusion efforts (see Roberts, et al., 2020 for more information on justifying sample demographics). If age groups substantially differ in sample demographic, authors should discuss limitations to internal validity.</p> <p>The method section also must include a statement describing how informed consent was obtained from the participants (and/or guardians), including for secondary use of data if applicable, and indicate that the study was conducted in compliance with an appropriate Internal Review Board.</p> <h3>Transparency and openness</h3> <p>APA endorses the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines developed by a community working group in conjunction with the Center for Open Science (<a href="https://science.sciencemag.org/content/348/6242/1422.full" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" id="pubsLink_Journal_30" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="https://science.sciencemag.org/content/348/6242/1422.full" data-ai-action="redirect">Nosek et al. 2015</a>). Reports of empirical research, including meta-analyses, submitted to <em>Psychology and Aging</em> must at least meet the “disclosure” level for all eight aspects of research planning and reporting, and the “requirement” level for Citation and for Transparency in Data, Design and Analysis, Analytic Code, and Research Materials. Thus, authors must make materials, deidentified data, and analytic code available via trusted repositories (e.g., <a href="https://osf.io/meetings/apa/" target="_blank" id="pubsLink_Journal_31" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="https://osf.io/meetings/apa/" data-ai-action="redirect">APA’s repository</a> on the Open Science Framework (OSF), or authors can access a full <a href="http://re3data.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" id="pubsLink_Journal_32" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="http://re3data.org/" data-ai-action="redirect">list of other recommended repositories</a>), or explain the legal and/or ethical reasons that they cannot be provided. Trusted repositories adhere to policies that make data discoverable, accessible, usable, and preserved for the long term. Trusted repositories also assign unique and persistent identifiers.</p> <p>We encourage investigators to preregister their research designs and analytic plans prior to conducting the research, but this is not required; if the study and analytic plans were not preregistered, this should be reported. There are many available preregistration forms (e.g., the APA <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vlp5GN-HXrtrjCdjE28f_3tT6RiwhQO2vVeOZGOaFsQ/edit#gid=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" id="pubsLink_Journal_33" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vlp5GN-HXrtrjCdjE28f_3tT6RiwhQO2vVeOZGOaFsQ/edit#gid=0" data-ai-action="redirect">Preregistration for Quantitative Research in Psychology</a> template, <a href="http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" id="pubsLink_Journal_34" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov" data-ai-action="redirect">ClinicalTrials.gov</a>, or other preregistration templates available via <a href="https://osf.io/zab38/wiki/home/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" id="pubsLink_Journal_35" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="https://osf.io/zab38/wiki/home/" data-ai-action="redirect">OSF</a>); completed preregistration forms should be posted on a publicly accessible registry system (e.g., <a href="https://osf.io/prereg/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" id="pubsLink_Journal_36" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="https://osf.io/prereg/" data-ai-action="redirect">OSF</a>, ClinicalTrials.gov, or other trial registries in the WHO Registry Network).

For masked submissions, authors may provide a masked version via a stable link or supplemental material.</li> <li>Analysis Plan Preregistration: Level 1, Disclosure—Article states whether any of the work reported preregistered an analysis plan and, if so, how to access it. For masked submissions, authors may provide a masked version via stable link or supplemental material.</li> <li>Replication: Level 1, Disclosure—The journal publishes replications.</li> </ul> <p>Authors should include an introductory subsection in the method section titled “Transparency and openness.” This subsection should include a statement that materials, deidentified data, and analytic code are available—or an explanation of the legal and/or ethical reasons for any exceptions. This subsection should also include a statement as to whether or not the design and/or analytic plan were preregistered. Some examples of transparency and openness statements are as follows.</p> <ul> <li>We report how we determined our sample size, and describe all data exclusions, manipulations, and all measures in the study, and we follow the JARS (Appelbaum et al., 2018). All data, analysis code, and research materials are available. Data were analyzed using R, version 4.0.0 (R Core Team, 2020) and the package <em>ggplot</em>, version 3.2.1 (Wickham, 2016). This study’s design and its analysis were not pre-registered.</li> <li>We report how we determined our sample size and describe all manipulations and measures that were collected, as described in our pre-registration. No data met our a priori exclusion criteria (described below), so analyses reported are based on all data that were collected. Deidentified data and analysis code are available. Stimulus materials are copyright protected and cannot be provided.</li> </ul> <h2>Manuscript preparation</h2> <p>Prepare manuscripts according to the 7th edition of the <a href="https://apastyle.apa.org/products/publication-manual-7th-edition" title="APA Style Publication Manual 7th Ed." id="pubsLink_Journal_39" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="https://apastyle.apa.org/products/publication-manual-7th-edition" data-ai-action="redirect"><em>Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association</em></a>, paying attention to the use of bias-free language (see Chapter 5).

Shorter manuscripts are equally welcome.</p> <p>Articles exceeding the 8,000 word limit may be considered if they offer an especially novel theoretical framework, or complex methodology or statistical approach that requires more extensive exposition.</p> <p><em>Psychology and Aging</em> publishes direct replications. Submissions should include “A Replication of XX Study” in the subtitle of the manuscript as well as in the abstract.</p> <h4>Brief Reports</h4> <p>The Brief Report format is reserved for particularly "crisp," theoretically noteworthy contributions that meet the highest methodological standards.</p> <p>Brief reports are typically no longer than 3,500 words, excluding references, tables, and figures, and include no more than two tables or figures.</p> <p>Papers in this format differ in length from regular articles, but not in rigor.</p> <p>Below are additional instructions regarding the preparation of display equations, computer code, and tables.</p> <h3>Title page</h3> <p>The first manuscript page is a title page, which includes a title of no more than 12 words, the author byline and institutional affiliation(s) where the work was conducted, a running head with a maximum of 50 characters (including spaces), and the author note.</p> <h3>Abstract, Public Significance Statements, and keywords</h3> <p>All manuscripts must include an abstract, Public Significance Statement, and up to five keywords or brief phrases, typed on a separate page after the title page.</p> <p>The abstract provides a balanced summary of the paper’s objectives, methods, findings, and conclusions (cf. <a href="https://apastyle.apa.org/jars" target="_blank" id="pubsLink_Journal_43" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="https://apastyle.apa.org/jars" data-ai-action="redirect">APA Style Journal Article Reporting Standards</a>) and should be comprehensible to a general audience of psychological scientists. Abstracts are no longer than 250 words.</p> <p>The Public Significance Statement describes the most central finding(s) that will be easily understood by the larger public (e.g., practitioners, educators, policy makers, and news media), as well as the implications for theory, application, and/or policy. The Public Significance statement is typically one to three sentences in length and 30 to 70 words long (further guidance and examples can be found <a href="/pubs/journals/resources/translational-messages" id="pubsLink_Journal_44" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="/pubs/journals/resources/translational-messages" data-ai-action="redirect">here</a>).</p> <h2>References</h2> <p>List references in alphabetical order.

Equations composed with the built-in Word 2007/Word 2010 equation support are converted to low-resolution graphics when they enter the production process and must be rekeyed by the typesetter, which may introduce errors.</p> <p>To construct your equations with MathType or Equation Editor 3.0:</p> <ul> <li>Go to the Text section of the Insert tab and select Object.</li> <li>Select MathType or Equation Editor 3.0 in the drop-down menu.</li> </ul> <p>If you have an equation that has already been produced using Microsoft Word 2007 or 2010 and you have access to the full version of MathType 6.5 or later, you can convert this equation to MathType by clicking on MathType Insert Equation. Copy the equation from Microsoft Word and paste it into the MathType box. Verify that your equation is correct, click File, and then click Update. Your equation has now been inserted into your Word file as a MathType Equation.</p> <p>Use Equation Editor 3.0 or MathType only for equations or for formulas that cannot be produced as Word text using the Times or Symbol font.</p> <h3>Computer code</h3> <p>Because altering computer code in any way (e.g., indents, line spacing, line breaks, page breaks) during the typesetting process could alter its meaning, we treat computer code differently from the rest of your article in our production process. To that end, we request separate files for computer code.</p> <h4>In online supplemental material</h4> <p>We request that runnable source code be included as supplemental material to the article. For more information, visit <a href="/pubs/journals/resources/supplemental-material" id="pubsLink_Journal_51" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="/pubs/journals/resources/supplemental-material" data-ai-action="redirect">Supplementing Your Article With Online Material</a>.</p> <h4>In the text of the article</h4> <p>If you would like to include code in the text of your published manuscript, please submit a separate file with your code exactly as you want it to appear, using Courier New font with a type size of 8 points. We will make an image of each segment of code in your article that exceeds 40 characters in length. (Shorter snippets of code that appear in text will be typeset in Courier New and run in with the rest of the text.) If an appendix contains a mix of code and explanatory text, please submit a file that contains the entire appendix, with the code keyed in 8-point Courier New.</p> <h3>Tables</h3> <p>Use Word's insert table function when you create tables. Using spaces or tabs in your table will create problems when the table is typeset and may result in errors.</p> <h2>Academic writing and English language editing services</h2> <p>Authors who feel that their manuscript may benefit from additional academic writing or language editing support prior to submission are encouraged to seek out such services at their host institutions, engage with colleagues and subject matter experts, and/or consider several <a href="/pubs/journals/resources/editing-services" id="pubsLink_Journal_52" data-ai-click="" data-ai-target="/pubs/journals/resources/editing-services" data-ai-action="redirect">vendors that offer discounts to APA authors</a>.</p> <p>Please note that APA does not endorse or take responsibility for the service providers listed.

The TOP Guidelines cover eight fundamental aspects of research planning and reporting that can be followed by journals and authors at three levels of compliance.</p> <p>For example:</p> <ul> <li>Level 1: Disclosure—The article must disclose whether or not the materials are posted to a trusted repository.</li> <li>Level 2: Requirement—The article must share materials via a trusted repository when legally and ethically permitted (or disclose the legal and/or ethical restriction when not permitted).</li> <li>Level 3: Verification—A third party must verify that the standard is met.</li> </ul> <p>Empirical research, including meta-analyses, submitted to <em>Psychology and Aging</em> must, at a minimum, meet Level 1 (Disclosure) for all eight aspects of research planning and reporting, and Level 2 (Requirement) for Citation and for Transparency in Data, Design and Analysis, Analytic Code, and Research Materials.

Trusted repositories adhere to policies that make data discoverable, accessible, usable, and preserved for the long term.
