Submission Preparation Checklist
Authors must tick off whether their submission complies with each of the following requirements as part of the submission procedure; entries that do not meet these requirements may be returned.
- Unless an explanation is included in Comments to the Editor, the submission has never been published before or is pending consideration by another publication.
- The submitted file is in the document file format of Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.
- The text is single-spaced, uses a 12-point font, uses italics instead of underlining (apart from URL addresses), and all figures, tables, and illustrations are positioned within the text at the appropriate points rather than at the end.
- Where possible, URLs for the references have been included.
- The text complies with the Author Guidelines' bibliographic and stylistic specifications.
