Preparing the Manuscript

Please follow these guidelines when you prepare your manuscript for submission. Manuscripts which do not conform to these guidelines will be returned without review.

Spelling and style: Note that we conform to Websters Collegiate Dictionary and The Chicago Manual of Style in manners of spelling, abbreviation, punctuation, etc. When you use an acronym or abbreviation in the manuscript, please spell it out in full the first time.

Endnotes: Use full citation endnotes (with no bibliography and no reference list). Number endnotes consecutively to show their location in the text, and list them (double-spaced) at the end of the text.
