All pages should be numbered consecutively. The author’s name should appear only on the title page and nowhere else in the manuscript.
Each table, drawing, illustration, or map must be prepared on a separate page and keyed to the text. All drawings, illustration, and maps submitted must be clearly designed; their publication cannot be guaranteed otherwise. Photocopied drawing, illustrations, or maps are unacceptable. Scans should be 300 dpi. Each paper should be summarized in a 350-400 word executive summary (in lieu of an abstract). The executive summary will preface the paper and should enable the reader to get an overview of the entire paper, with particular attention to the need for the paper and the managerial and professional implication of the findings. Five to 10 key words that describe the content of the articles and can be used for computer retrieval should be under the abstract. Manuscripts will be returned to the author if no executive summary is included.
Include only reference to books, articles, and bulletins actu- ally cited in the text. All reference should follow the Publications Manual of the America Psychological Association (6th ed.) Reference in the text should cite the author’s last name, year of publication, and page (where appropriate); thus ( Lucas, 1972, p. 85) or (Birch, 1972). All references should appear as shown below or in the APA manual and at the end of the typescript, not at the foot of the page. Typical journal entries would appear as follows:
If figures, tables, or more than a few lines of text from a previously pub- lished material are included in a manuscript, the author must obtain written per- mission for re-publication from the copyright holder.
On the title page include full name of the author(s), academic professional affiliation(s), a brief running head, and the complete address, phone number, and e-mail address of the person to whom proofs and correspondence should be sent. As all manuscripts will be reviewed anonymously, the name(s) of the author(s) should only appear on the title pages. Appropriate acknowledgments should also be included on the title page.
