Manuscript Preparation and Guidelines
- File submission format
- Submit article text in Microsoft Word, Google Doc, or text format (.doc, .docx, or .txt)
- Title heading
- Include the name, affiliation, city, and email address for all listed authors.
- Abstract
- Optional, but strongly suggested for scientific manuscripts
- Text of article
- Secondary headings are up to the discretion of the author. Scientific manuscripts should generally follow the standard introduction, methods, results, and discussion format.
- References
- References should be cited in-text in author-date format.
- All articles which cite references also should have an accompanying BibTeX file which includes all cited references. BibTeX files can be generated by citation manager programs; Zotero is an example of a free citation manager which can export collections as BibTeX files.
