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.
  
• Full-length papers should be up to 8,000 words long (including notes and references).
  
• Manuscripts should be submitted both as a Word document (see for structure and style guidelines) and a PDF file. They should include the following: title of article, abstract (no more than 125 words), three to five keywords; main text; references; appendices; acknowledgements (as appropriate). A title page should include authors’ names and affiliations.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  
• Tables and table captions, figures and figure captions should be embedded in text in the position where they should ideally be placed. However, figures should also be submitted separately in jpeg format to allow sufficient quality and resolution (see author guidelines).
• Any funding or grant awarding bodies should be acknowledged at the end of the paper.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in author guidelines.
