Structure

You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the refereeing process. Authors may submit their paper in any scholarly format or layout, and references can be in any style or format, so long as a consistent scholarly citation format is applied. Only when your paper is at the revision stage will you be requested to put your paper into a 'correct format' for acceptance (7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, APA) and provide the items required for the publication of your article.

Word Limits

Manuscripts should be no longer than 6,000 words excluding tables, figures, and references.

Format

The journal requires that your manuscript is submitted with double spacing applied. There are no other strict formatting requirements, but all manuscripts must contain all essential elements such as abstract, keywords, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusion, artwork, and tables with captions. If your article includes any videos and/or other supplementary material, this should be included in your initial submission for peer review purposes. Divide the article into clearly defined sections.

References

There are no strict requirements on reference formatting at submission. References can be in any style or format as long as the style is consistent. Where applicable, author(s) name(s), journal title/book title, chapter title/article title, year of publication, volume number/book chapter, and the article number or pagination must be present. Use of DOI is highly encouraged. The reference style used by the journal (7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, APA) will be applied during the revision stage. Note that missing data will be highlighted at the proof stage for the author to correct.
