Author Guidelines
Manuscripts, not exceeding 10,000 words, should be typed double-spaced (including quotations, endnotes, and references) on standard quarto paper (8 1/2" x 11"), with ample margins. The author's name and affiliation should appear on a separate cover page, and only on this page, to ensure anonymity in the reviewing process. Include, also on separate pages, an abstract of l00-200 words, and a short biographical profile of the author (and all co-authors, if any). The APA Style Manual (7th edition) should be followed.
The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' last names, and placed at the end of the manuscript. Reference citations are not to be used as footnotes.
Endnotes for the purpose of clarifying the text are permitted and should be denoted by superscript numbers in the text. The numbered endnotes should be typed double-spaced and placed before the list of references.
Tables and figures should be numbered, captioned, and inserted at appropriate points in the text.
