Manuscript Guidelines

When submitting your article for consideration, please ensure it conforms to the following guidelines:

• Title page. A title page should be a completely separate page that includes the following:
  • Title of the manuscript
  • All authors’ full name(s) with academic degree(s), affiliations, and email addresses.
  • The corresponding author should be clearly designated.
• Abstract and Keywords. Each manuscript must include a brief abstract of approximately 250 words. Authors should also supply three to five keywords that are not in the title.
• Left align (do not right justify).
• Please make sure that all tracked changes or other revision marks have been accepted as final (no hidden text, comments, etc.).
• No “soft returns” or forced line breaks.
• No underlines, in urls or anywhere else. For emphasis please use italics.
• Do not use automatic hyphenation.
• Do not apply styles. Default (“normal”) should be the only style in your document.
• Block quotes should be formatted using the indent feature.
• Do not use tables for text body layout.
• Single space between period and start of next sentence.
• Remove hyperlinks and all other formatting from text and footnotes.
• Do not use tabs, forced line breaks, or any styles in text or footnotes.
• If your document contains images, please supply us with the most high-resolution images available. 300 dpi is ideal for print. Images pulled from websites do not print well.
• Images will be printed in grayscale. Please be aware of this when using charts that depend on color for their interpretation.
• We cannot accept documents with equations inserted using Word’s Equation Editor; our layout program deletes them. Please make equations part of the text flow, and format them in Times New Roman or Minion Pro.
• Citations in APA style.
• There are no publishing fees for authors.
