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.

Open science & disclosures
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
