European Work and Organizational Psychology in Practice (EWOP in Practice) is the EAWOP Practitioners E-Journal. The journal is more commonly known as "InPractice". EWOP in Practice is a journal that is accessible for both practitioners and academics and focuses on the application of Work and Organizational Psychology in Europe.

This journal is indexed in CrossRef. Every article will be provided with DOI and a permanent link to the article.

We welcome a variety of papers: empirical studies, discussion of theoretical issues, case studies, interviews and reports from psychological associations and professional qualifications.

EWOP in Practice wishes to be an accessible journal that will be read frequently by those who are not commonly readers of academic journals. As a European journal, many of the readers of EWOP in Practice are reading in their non-preferred language. Therefore, we encourage the use of more simple forms of language to convey meaning and understanding for all readers.

Manuscript Format and Language

Manuscripts should be submitted preferably in Office Open XML format (docx) or OpenDocument format (odt) and follow the style guidelines of the American Psychological Association (7th edition). Please use the manuscript template. You can download a sample manuscript following the style guides here.

In general, British English spellings are used. However, the exception is organization using the ize term following EAWOP's title. Do not use sex-specific forms generically or as supposed neutral terms. For example, preferred alternatives for businessmen are business people, managers, or executives. Avoid making sex-stereotyped assumptions about people, their abilities, attitudes and relationships. Example: The behaviour was typically female.

Title

Each paper has a title that should summarise the main idea of the paper simply and, if possible, with a style that creates interest for the reader. The title should be a concise statement of the main topic and should identify the variables or theoretical issues under investigation and the relationship between them. A title should be fully explanatory when standing alone and also interesting to attract the reader. An example of a good title is "Does transforming letters improve reading speed".

Authors

After the title the author(s) names and affiliations appear. Give the author's name as first name, middle initial(s), and last name; this form reduces the likelihood of mistaken identity. Omit all titles (e.g., Dr, Professor) and degrees (e.g., PhD). In the author list include one email address so readers can contact the corresponding author about the paper.

The affiliation identifies the location where the author(s) were when the research/practice was conducted, or the paper written; which is usually an institution. Include more than one affiliation only if two institutions contributed substantial support to the study or paper. List the country of origin for every institution. When an author has no institutional affiliation, list the city and country of residence below the author's name.

Following affiliations an Author(s) biography appears (250-300 words) offering brief information about the authors that will be of interest to readers. The production team will produce an interesting page layout with the title and authors names and thumb-nail pictures of each author. Please offer pictures as separate files. Pictures add interest for readers but are not compulsory to the publication.

Abstract

Before the paper begins an Abstract is included. This is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of the paper (not normally exceeding 200 words). A wellprepared abstract can be the most important single paragraph in an article. Most people have their first contact with an article by seeing just the abstract, and if this is interesting, readers will continue to read the entire paper.

Keywords

Following the abstract Keywords are listed (maximum six words); for example: power, abusive supervision, leadership, When choosing keywords think of the terms central to the paper, offer these in a logical and sequential order. Do not use capitalisation.

References

References acknowledge the work of previous scholars and how to locate their work. References do not need to be comprehensive but must support the need for your work and the context of previous work in this area. For in-text citations and references, please follow the American Psychological Association Style Guide (7th edition).
