Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

While there is flexibility in the length of research articles, all manuscripts must include the key sections, including the title, abstract, introduction, methodology, results and discussion, conclusions, figures and tables with captions, and any supplementary material (if required). Maintain a font size of 12 in Times New Roman throughout the manuscript (with an exception to the font size of tables, figures, and footnotes). Utilize the APA reference style for citations and bibliographies. Use reference management software for accurate formatting.

  1. Upload all manuscript and supplementary material files.
  2. Provide accurate author names and affiliations.
