Submission Guidelines
Submissions should adhere to the following guidelines:
Length: manuscripts should be 6000-8000 words in length. Review articles are shorter.
Preparation: all manuscripts should be prepared using MS Word. The text and notes should be typed using a 12-point font in Times New Roman and should be double-spaced with one-inch margin on all sides. All pages (including those with tables and diagrams only) should be numbered sequentially. All tables and diagrams should be numbered.
Style guide: please refer to the journal's style guide while preparing the manuscript. Submissions must exclusively use endnotes for all citations. Manuscripts cannot be reviewed unless basic style guidelines are met. Authors are responsible for making sure that the initial through final versions of the manuscript conform to this style guide.
Abstract and Keywords: please include a 150-word summary/abstract of the main argument and the main findings. Also include a list of 5-10 keywords with your initial submission.
Clean manuscript: to protect the integrity of the peer-review process, we ask that at least one copy of the manuscript should be devoid of any self-identification of the author(s).
Contact information of author(s): on a separate sheet, please submit the names, affiliations, mailing addresses, and e-mail addresses of author(s). In case of multiple authors, please identify the corresponding author. Also include a statement that the work being submitted has not been published and also, that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere.

Formatting:
- Single space, using one font only (serif) and one color only (black).
- Left align (do not right justify).
- Please make sure that all tracked changes or other revision marks have been accepted as final (no hidden text, comments, etc.).
- No “soft returns” or forced line breaks.
- No underlines, in urls or anywhere else. For emphasis please use italics.
- Do not use automatic hyphenation.
- Do not apply styles. Default (“normal”) should be the only style in your document.
- Block quotes should be formatted using the indent feature.
- Do not use tables for text body layout.
- Single space between period and start of next sentence.
- Remove hyperlinks and all other formatting from text and footnotes.
- Do not use tabs, forced line breaks, or any styles in text or footnotes.
- If your document contains images, please supply us with the most high-resolution images available. 300 dpi is ideal for print. Images pulled from websites do not print well.
- Images will be printed in grayscale. Please be aware of this when using charts that depend on color for their interpretation.
- If your work has an index, please type it in one long column, single-spaced, with no tabs or any style applied, and in this format: subject comma page. ex: Lincoln, Abraham, 36, 165-6
- We cannot accept documents with equations inserted using Word’s Equation Editor; our layout program deletes them. Please make equations part of the text flow, and format them in Times New Roman or Minion Pro.
