Style
The journal’s text will use US spelling and mechanicals. The Chicago Manual of Style [15th Edition] is our style guideline and Webster’s Dictionary is our arbiter of spelling. While it would be preferred if contributors used US English, British English will be acceptable (though it will be transliterated into US spelling and mechanicals). We encourage the use of major subheadings and, where appropriate, second-level subheadings.
Manuscripts (whether electronic or hardcopy) submitted for consideration as an article must contain: a title page with the full title of the article, the author(s) name, address and affiliation where relevant (do not place the author’s name on any other page of the manuscript), a two- or three-sentence biography for each author, and a 200-word abstract. Up to five keywords are requested to aid in any future library searches. Please present the keywords after the abstract.
Electronic manuscripts can be either single- or double-spaced. If hardcopy manuscripts are involved, then they must be typed double-spaced (including quotations, notes, and references cited), one side only, with at least one-inch margins on standard paper using a typeface no smaller than 12pt. Authors should retain a copy for their records.
It would be preferred if paragraph breaks involved a line space (double line space if presenting a double-spaced text, of course) between paragraphs and without indentation, as on this page.
Notes and References
References to notes are to be by means of consecutive numbers inserted in-text throughout the paper and are to be written up at the end of the text. (Do not use any footnoting or end-noting programs that your software may offer as this text becomes irretrievably lost at the typesetting stage.)
For references, the “Harvard system” is to be used in-text, thus:
Centuries ago in Europe, country people were terrified of the walking dead, of “revenants” (Smith, 1989). They developed all kinds of protective procedures (Jones, 1957; Morris, 1972, 1984), and though these may seem bizarre to us now they were deemed absolutely necessary at the time.
The cited references should be presented at the end of the paper, after any notes, in this manner:
