Author Guidelines

We do not accept submissions by email. We accept submissions from September 1 to April 30.  Please note that we are now only accepting submissions via our online submission management system. Submissions via mail or email will be discarded without response. Submissions must be in Microsoft Word (DOC or DOCX formats). The author’s name and address should appear on the first page of the manuscript. We accept simultaneous submissions as long as we are notified at the time of submission, and we expect to be notified promptly if the work is accepted elsewhere.

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  • 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 doc or docx 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, which is found in About the Journal.
  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.
