MANUSCRIPT GUIDELINES
MANUSCRIPT
Manuscripts may be submitted either electronically or through
regular mail to the Journal of Drug Issues (JDI). Authors
who wish to submit electronically should send manuscripts to jdi@garnet.fsu.edu.
Authors who wish to submit manuscripts via regular mail should
send four hard copies along with the electronic file (preferably
CD) of the manuscript to Journal of Drug Issues, Florida State
University, 325 John Knox Road, Bldg L, Suite 102, Tallahassee,
FL 32303. Only previously unpublished manuscripts are accepted
for exclusive review. Manuscripts should not be submitted to JDI
if they are under consideration by other journals. Upon acceptance,
articles become the exclusive property of the JDI. Authors are
responsible for obtaining JDI’s permission to use and reprint
copyrighted materials.
PREPARATION
Manuscripts should not exceed 20 pages of text. Prepare text in
Times New Roman 11 point type. Manuscripts should be double spaced,
including references. Do not use automatic endnote function in
your word processing program. Endnote marks in the text should
simply be superscripted numbers, and notes should be typed separately
at the end of the text. For reference on style, see the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th ed.
Sample articles formatted according to JDI’s style guidelines
may be viewed here. Manuscripts will
not be accepted until they are formatted correctly.

not to exceed 50 words for each author should be provided.

Submit a short running title of no more than 55 characters, including

REFERENCE LIST
The reference list should be formatted according to American Psychological
Association (APA) and JDI style guidelines. All references should
be complete. JDI’s style requires including the names of
all authors, full titles of periodicals and books, and volume
and page numbers.
TABLES AND FIGURES
Tables should be prepared in Times New Roman 10 point type. Table
notes should be prepared in Times New Roman 9 point type. A location
in the text for each table and figure should be indicated (e.g.,

should appear on the front page. Names, affiliations, complete
mailing addresses, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and fax numbers
of all authors should be included on a separate cover page. Authors
should keep a copy of their manuscripts.
COPYRIGHT
Journal of Drug Issues (JDI) possesses the exclusive
right of original publication. While authors are permitted unlimited
use of their articles, copyright of the collected work is held
by JDI. Requests for permission to reprint an article should be
submitted in writing to JDI. Statements and opinions expressed
