Authors are expected to follow our basic guidelines when submitting a manuscript. We have attempted to keep these very simple, to encourage submissions from a wider range of practitioners/professionals. 

1. 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).

2. The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.

3. Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.

4. The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses).

5. All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

6. Spelling, grammar and tone is consistant throughout.

7. References are consistant to one recognised style.

 

Conflicts of interest

Definition
Conflicts of interest comprise those which may not be fully apparent and which may influence the judgment of author, reviewers, and editors. They have been described as those which, when revealed later, would make a reasonable reader feel misled or deceived. They may be personal, commercial, political, academic or financial.
“Financial” interests may include employment, research funding, stock or share ownership, payment for lectures or travel, consultancies and company support for staff.

Action
(1) Such interests, where relevant, must be declared to editors by researchers, authors, and reviewers.
(2) Editors should also disclose relevant conflicts of interest to their readers. If in doubt, disclose.
Sometimes editors may need to withdraw from the review and selection process for the relevant submission.
