Text organization:
Use Times New Roman, 12-point.
All text should be double-spaced.
All text should be ragged-right.
Use either English (United States) or English (UK). Set Tools/ Spelling/ Options/ Dictionaries/ Language option (in Microsoft Word) to set the file to "English (United States)" or "English (UK)." Also, select all text in the file, then use Tools/Language/Set language to choose "English (United States)" or "English (UK)". Both steps may be necessary to ensure consistent use of the right dictionary.
Please note that our journal does not accept appendices. You may incorporate the information in text or in an endnote.
Articles should have the following sections, in order:
?Title
The title should be descriptive -- someone finding the title in an indexing service should be able to determine what the article is about.
?Author(s) name and contact address (including email). Indicate corresponding author.
?Abstract (up to 150 words)
The abstract should be freestanding: a summary of the main points of the article, which can be read without needing to refer to the article and which can be removed without sacrificing the argument in the article. In other words, the article should not "begin" until after the abstract. The abstract should be a single paragraph, with no references. Maximum length is about 150 words.
?Keywords (5-7 words)
?Body of article
?Acknowledgements
The acknowledgements (if present) should appear as a separate section of text following the main article text. Acknowledgements should not appear as a footnote or endnote.
?Endnotes
?References
?Author(s) information (submitted in a separate file for peer review purposes)
The author(s)' information should include: name, title and institutional affiliation, mailing address and preferably email address, and a sentence on other interest or recent publications.
Overall guidelines for the manuscript:
Use the APA Publication Manual (currently, 5th edition) for questions of style, excepting reference citation (see separate section below). If there are conflicts between this style sheet and the APA manual, please bring them to attention of the editor.
Use Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, current edition, for questions of spelling.
Guidelines for format:
Headlines and subhead styles
1. Main headline is flush left, bold face, initial cap only.
2. Author's name is indented one stop.
3. Abstract is indented one stop.
4. Level 1 (highest level) subheads should be numbered with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3?, flush left, bold-face, initial cap only.
5. Level 2 subheads should be unnumbered, flush left, italic, initial cap only. (Copyeditors' discretion: If you believe numbered Level 2 subheads are needed, use 1.1, 1.2, etc.)
6. Avoid further subdividing articles. If a third level of subhead or labeling is needed, use italic text run-in with paragraph or use line space between paragraphs, as appropriate.
7. After any subhead, paragraph is flush left (no initial indent). All other paragraphs have single indent.
Quotations
1. Use double-quotes (') for quotations and as "scare quotes" around terms to be defined or highlighted.
2. Use single-quotes (') only for quotations within double-quotation marks.
3. In keeping with American style, commas and periods go inside quotation marks, even when only a single word is in quotations.
4. Block quotations (more than 3 lines of typeset text) should be indented one stop. No quotation marks are needed around block quotes.
5. Use double hyphen (--) for n-dashes, triple-hyphen (---) for m-dashes.
6. Lists may be numbered or bulleted; be consistent within a single manuscript. Lists should be indented one stop.
In-text citation
All references in the text and notes must be specified by the author(s)' s last name(s) and date of publication together with page numbers if given.
Do not use ibid., op. cit., infra., supra. Instead, show the subsequent citation of the same source in the same way as the first.
Note the following for the style of text citations:
1. If the author's name is in the text, follow with year in parentheses:
... Author Last Name (year) has argued ...
2. If author's name is not in the text, insert last name, comma and year:
... several works (Author Last Name, year) have described ...
3. Where appropriate, the page number follows the year, separated by a colon:
... it has been noted (Author Last Name, year: page nos) that ...
4. Where there are two authors, give both names, joined by 'and'; if three or more authors, use et al.:
... it has been stated (Author Last Name and Author Last Name, year) ...
... some investigators (Author Last Name et al., year) ...
5. If there is more than one reference to the same author and year, insert a, b, etc. in both the text and the list:
... it was described (Author Last Name, yeara: page nos-page nos) ...
6. Enclose within a single pair of parentheses a series of references, separated by semicolons:
... and it has been noted (Author Last Name and Author Last Name, year; Author Last Name and Author Last Name, year; Author Last Name, year) ...
7. If two or more references by the same author are cited together, separate the dates with a comma:
... the author has stated this in several studies (Author Last Name, year, year, year, year) ...
8. Enclose within the parentheses any brief phrase associated with the reference:
... several investigators have claimed this (but see Author Last Name, year: page nos-page nos)
9. For an institutional authorship, supply the minimum citation from the beginning of the complete reference:
... a recent statement (Name of Institution, year: page nos) ...
... occupational data (Name of Bureau or Institution, year: page nos) reveal ...
10. For authorless articles or studies, use the name of the magazine, journal, newspaper or sponsoring organization, and not the title of the article:
... it was stated (Name of Journal, year) that ...
11. Citations from personal communications are not included in the reference list:
... has been hypothesized (Name of Person Cited, year, personal
communication).
Reference list
Check that the list is in alphabetical order (treat Mc as Mac).
Names should be in upper and lower case.
Where several references have the same author(s), do not use ditto marks or em dashes; the name must be repeated each time.
Last Names containing de, van, von, De, Van, Von, de la, etc. should be listed under D and V respectively. List them as: De Roux, D.P. and not Roux, D.P., de. When cited in the main text without the first name, use capitals for De, Van, Von, De la, etc. (Van Dijk, year)
Names containing Jr or II should be listed as follows:
Author Last Name, Author First Name, Jr (year)
Author Last Name, Author First Name, P.P., II (year)
References where the first-named author is the same should be listed as follows:
Single-author references in date order;
Two-author references in alphabetical order according to the second author's name;
Et al. references in alphabetical order; in the event of more than one entry having the same date, they should be placed in alphabetical order of second (or third) author, and a, b, etc. must be inserted.
