Manuscript Guidelines

  • Manuscripts must be written in clear, well-structured English. Either American or British English may be used, but not both within the same document.

  • While there is no strict word limit, authors are encouraged to be concise. A typical manuscript should range between 3,000 and 7,000 words.

  • Please save your file in the native format of your word processing software (e.g., .docx for Microsoft Word).

  • Use a single-column layout and keep formatting as simple as possible. Complex formatting, embedded equations, or designed tables may not be preserved during the production process.

  • Equations and tables should be created using the word processor’s built-in tools rather than as images or graphics.

  • Figures should not be embedded in the main text. Instead, indicate their intended placement within the manuscript and submit them as separate files.

  • Prior to submission, authors are strongly encouraged to use the spell-check and grammar-check features of their word processing software to minimize errors.
