Submission Requirements
Authors should submit a manuscript that is double-spaced and paginated. The cover page, which will be removed before the manuscript is sent to a referee, should contain: the title, all authors and their affiliations (mailing addresses), phone and fax numbers, and email addresses. Except for the cover page, all pages should be numbered consecutively. Submitted manuscripts should be original research, and the names appearing on the article should be that of the individuals who conducted the research. The article should not be under review simultaneously at another journal nor substantially resemble articles that are under review at another journal. Upon acceptance, ARES automatically owns the copyright of the article. The transfer of copyright will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information.
Submission via email is strongly encouraged. Except for the final version, manuscripts can be submitted via email in Word or PDF file formats to jrer@fullerton.edu. Submitted papers will be sent to referees via e-mail, whenever it is feasible. For papers submitted via e-mail, the expected turn-around-time is 8 weeks. For hard copy submissions, the expected turn-around-time is twelve weeks. Upon acceptance, authors will have to submit an IBM-compatible disk containing the Word file of the manuscript, four style-correct hard copies of the manuscript, and a signed release form. The Editor does not accept responsibility for damage or loss of papers submitted.

Style Guidelines
Abstracts
An abstract of not more than 100 words, summarizing the research purpose, method and findings, is required.
Headings
Primary, secondary and tertiary heading should be indicated by numbering or in outline fashion (i.e., I, II, A, B, i, ii, etc.). Such outlining/numbering is for editorial purpose only and will not appear in print.
Summary
Each manuscript should include at the end of the text, a non-technical summary statement of the main conclusions.
Exhibits
Illustrations must be titled and numbered consecutively as exhibits with Arabic numbers. Please check that the text contains a reference to each exhibit. Verify that all numerical amounts add up to totals shown in the tables and that significant digits are rounded to no more than 2 or 3 numbers. All figures need to be sharp, clear and laser-quality.
Mathematical Proofs and Equations
Lengthy mathematical proofs and extensively detailed mathematical tables should be placed in an appendix (or omitted entirely) and every effort should be made to explain the proofs. Equations should be placed on a separate line, centered and numbered consecutively at the right margin.
Endnotes
Endnotes in the text must be cited consecutively. They should be double-spaced and appear on a separate page. Avoid numerous and lengthy endnotes.
References
References must be presented alphabetically by the last name of the author and be double-spaced. References must be dated, and the citations in the text must agree. Only those references cited within the text should be included. The references must fit the following format:
