“…This question is highly relevant because the common method of curving the guide out of the LoS may impact the focusing properties of an elliptic guide. This problem is something that we are investigating further in reference to these results in a current study [26]. Meanwhile, several other studies have already addressed this problem using various techniques, such as a massive beamstop in the centre of the guide that eliminates any neutrons flying directly through the guide [27], gravitational curving where the guide follows a parabolic curve calculated from a typical wavelength [28], and the traditional method of bending of a straight guide [29].…”

“…These guidelines are set down in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2006). The Publication Manual originated in 1929 as a short journal article that provided basic standards for preparing manuscripts to be submitted for publication (Bentley et al, 1929). It was later expanded and published as a book by the association and is now in its sixth edition.…”

Describe the three fundamental features of science. 3. Explain why psychology is a science. 4. Define pseudoscience and give some examples. What Is Science? Some people are surprised to learn that psychology is a science. They generally agree that astronomy, biology, and chemistry are sciences but wonder what psychology has in common with these other fields. Before answering this question, however, it is worth reflecting on what astronomy, biology, and chemistry have in common with each other. It is clearly not their subject matter. Astronomers study celestial bodies, biologists study living organisms, and chemists study matter and its properties. It is also not the equipment and techniques that they use. Few biologists would know what to do with a radio telescope, for example, and few chemists would know how to track a moose population in the wild. For these and other reasons, philosophers and scientists who have thought deeply about this question have concluded that what the sciences have in common is a general approach to understanding the natural world. Psychology is a science because it takes this same general approach to understanding one aspect of the natural world: human behavior. Key Takeaways • People's intuitions about human behavior, also known as folk psychology, often turn out to be wrong. This is one primary reason that psychology relies on science rather than common sense. • Researchers in psychology cultivate certain critical-thinking attitudes. One is skepticism. They search for evidence and consider alternatives before accepting a claim about human behavior as true. Another is tolerance for uncertainty. They withhold judgment about whether a claim is true or not when there is Variables Research questions in psychology are about variables. A variable is a quantity or quality that varies across people or situations. For example, the height of the students in a psychology class is a variable because it varies from student to student. The sex of the students is also a variable as long as there are both male and female students in the class. A quantitative variable is a quantity, such as height, that is typically measured by assigning a number to each individual. Other examples of quantitative variables include people's level of talkativeness, how depressed they ...

“…Eventually, as these instructions got more detailed, style manuals were made available for purchase. For example, the first APA (American Psychological Association) style guide contained sixand-a-half pages and was published in a journal in 1929nearly 90 years ago (Bentley et al, 1929). This version was then revised in 1944and 1952(see APA, 2001.…”

Instructions to authors about submitting papers for publication vary hugely – from none at all to whole handbooks. Online submission systems have not reduced the complexity of submission and may have increased the work of authors. Electronic submission processes do not appear to have been adequately ‘road tested’ with authors. Some publishers are introducing more flexible submission rules that may help authors.
