Manuscript Preparation

Abstracts: All submissions must include an abstract. Abstracts should be brief providing the reader with a concise but complete summary of the paper. The abstract should have approximately 200 words.

Editorial style: Papers will be published in English. Manuscripts must be submitted with proper English grammar, syntax, and spelling. Authors should express their own findings in the past tense and use the present tense where reference is made to existing knowledge, or where the author is stating what is known or concluded. Footnotes should be avoided and their content incorporated into the text. The editors reserve the right to revise the wording of papers in the interest of the journal’s standards of clarity and conciseness. Mistakes are inevitable and the editorial will guide the authors during the review process.

Fonts-

Figures: Graphics/photos should be provided as a .tif or .jpg or png file. All illustrations, figures, and tables should be placed within the text at appropriate positions, rather than at the end of the document. Figures should be numbered in Arabic numerals in the order of the first citation in the text. Legends for each figure must be printed on a separate page. Include a key for symbols or letters used in the figures.

Figures/legends should be clearly numbered as 1 or 1 (a) 1(b). If illustrations, tables, or other excerpts are included from copyrighted works the author is responsible for obtaining written permission from the copyright holder prior to submitting the final version of the paper. Full credit must be given to such sources with a superscript reference citation in the figure legend. Reference citations in figure legends or captions should follow numerically the reference number in the text immediately preceding mention of the figure. Figures take up additional page space particularly in the print version(which may need to be concise if too many) and should be limited to those that add value to the text.

Tables: Tables should be double-spaced, appear on separate pages, and should be titled and numbered in Arabic numerals in the order of the first citation in the text. Short headings should appear at the top of each column. Due to space limitations, only tables adding value to the text should be included.

Acknowledgments: Funding and other sources of support must be disclosed in the Acknowledgements section. Personal acknowledgments should be limited to appropriate professionals who have contributed intellectually to the paper.
