Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

Contributors are encouraged to submit manuscripts not exceeding 6000-8000 words, including notes and references as well as abstracts of up to 150 words and five key words. Authors are expected to submit a version of the article with any indication of authorship removed for the purpose of blind peer-review. Name, academic affiliation and address (mail and email) should be included in a separate file with a title page. Authors should supply an academic biography of 50-100 words.

Authors are strongly encouraged to follow the Chicago Manual Of Style, author-date system. Thus, all references in submitted papers should be put in brackets, and a separate reference list should be included. In case of any doubt, refer here. Preliminary acceptance of the article is possible with references prepared in another manner. However, it is a condition of publication that all references be entered in the journal’s preferred style. Quotations (exceeding 3 lines) should be displayed indented in the text. UK or US spellings should be used coherently. Notes at the bottom of each page and numbering is preferred.
