Submission Preparation Checklist
All submissions must meet the following requirements.
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.
This means that anyone is free to read, download, copy, distribute and print the article, to use it in search and to build upon it in their own work. The only condition is attribution of the author, the journal and the article's address on the site, together with an indication of any changes made.
By submitting an article the author confirms that:
the article is the author's own work and does not infringe the rights of third parties;
the article has not been published before and is not under consideration elsewhere;
all authors listed on the article are aware of its content and agree to its publication;
permission has been obtained for any text, images or tables taken from other sources, and the source is cited.
The author's right to be recognised as the author of the work remains with the author. The journal acquires the right of first publication.
Authors may freely post the published article on their own web page, in an institutional repository or on social networks, with a link to the original publication in the journal.
