Style of Manuscripts

Figures and tables should be at the end of the document and figures should also be included as jpeg or TIFF files. Manuscripts submitted (where possible/relevant) must follow the American Psychological Association (APA) style. A guide to the APA style can be accessed via http://library.curtin.edu.au/referencing/apa.pdf (you will need a .pdf viewer to access this page http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html ). Following these style guides can assist the editorial process.

Case studies, book reviews and discussion pieces may not rely heavily on external sources hence where references are used the above guidelines should be followed. Authors are responsible for providing full details on names, affiliation, corresponding authors and contact addresses with their submission.

Editorial Process

Upon submission the Editor will then distribute the manuscripts to two members of the editorial board for the review process. All papers submitted to the Journal will be put through the review process, no papers will be rejected outright. The review process is blind but consists of a 'light-touch' review system. The reviewers will inform the Editor of the status and relevance of the manuscript along the following categories;

Accepted as is
Acceptance pending on revisions
Rejected

The Editor is responsible for making final edits to manuscripts, but if significant changes need to be made to manuscripts to follow the style guide the paper may be returned to the author for these changes to be made. Manuscripts submitted to the Journal should not be under the review process at any other journal or have been previously published.
