Who do you envision as the primary audience for this submission?


Submission of a paper implies that the work described has not been published before (except in the form of an abstract or as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication has been approved by all the authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities  where the work was carried out and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in either the same or another language, without the consent of the editors and the publisher. Reference should be made to previously published abstracts, etc. in the introductory section. Responsibility for the accuracy of the material in the manuscript, including bibliographic citations, lies entirely with the authors.

Manuscripts should be typed, double-spaced, using 12 pt. Font, and titled.

Pertinent photographs, illustrations, charts, or graphs need to accompany the manuscript.

All articles should follow The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) Manuscripts submitted should be previously unpublished and not under consideration by another publication (http://flash1r.apa.org/apastyle/basics/index.htm.

Provide a brief biography of each author stating affiliation, etc.

There should be no footnotes at the bottom of pages. Notes should be carried to the end of the text and inserted in a section called NOTES, immediately after the text and immediately before the references

All URL addresses in the text should be activated and ready to click.

For indenting, please use the TAB key, not the space bar.

Written permission must be obtained by the author for all quotations that require permission and for all tables, figures, or quotation over 300 words from sources for which the author does not hold the copyright.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed.  Author identification should be removed, and "Author" and year used in the bibliography and notes, instead of authors' names, titles, etc. The author's name should be removed from the document's Properties, which in Microsoft Word is found in the File menu.
