Submission and Format Requirements
A typical manuscript should be between 3,000 and 4,000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures. However, longer submissions may be accepted if they are of exceptional quality.
Here is a paraphrased version of the provided submission and referencing guidelines:
Submission Format
Manuscripts may be submitted in either single or double spacing, with a preference for Times New Roman, 12-point font. Once accepted, all articles will be properly formatted for publication by the journal.
The manuscript should include the following components:
- Title
- Abstract
- Main text
- Conflict of interest statement
- References and notes
- Tables, figure captions, and figures
- Keywords
Do not include author names, biographical notes, or acknowledgements in the submitted version.
Additionally, ensure that author details are not embedded in the document’s file properties or metadata.
References and Notes
- This journal uses the Harvard (author-date) referencing style.
- Example: Hamel (2000) suggests... or A study by Nelson and Winter (1982) found...
- All sources cited in the text must appear in a full, alphabetized reference list at the end.
- Footnotes should be avoided unless they briefly clarify a specific point. These notes should follow the reference list in numbered order.
- Only include sources that are:
- Published
- Accepted for publication (not just submitted)
- Accessible via libraries or institutions
- Sources must be in English.
Reference entries should include:
- Full names and initials of all authors
- Year of publication
- Article/book title
- Journal or book title (in italics)
- Volume and issue numbers for journals
- Publisher and format (for books/conferences)
- Page numbers
- DOI (if available)
Web sources should also include:
- Access date (e.g., accessed 20 August 2025)
- A valid, short URL (no more than 90 characters, avoid link shorteners)
- Example: use https://www.dss.gov.au/ instead of a long, detailed URL
Figures
- All diagrams, illustrations, and photographs are called Figures, and should be:
- Numbered consecutively
- Placed at the end of the manuscript
- Colour figures will appear in colour online only, and black and white in print.
- Use black and white whenever possible, unless colour is essential.
- Ensure high resolution, especially for line diagrams, since image and text details may be reduced during formatting.
Permissions
- If using third-party material (figures, data, images), explicit permission must be obtained from the rights holder.
- These materials must be properly credited using "Source:", followed by a permission statement:
- Example: Source: Van Deselar 2020. Reproduced with permission of Elsevier.
Units of Measurement
- Follow the SI (Système International) unit system.
- Imperial units will be converted unless doing so distorts the meaning or precision of the statement.
International Context
- Avoid assuming familiarity with local organisations or institutions; provide context from an international perspective.
- Always use full names for countries and regions (e.g., avoid “America” or “Europe” as stand-alone terms).
- Specify national currencies.
- Expand all acronyms into English.
Translated Works
- When translating:
- Spell out acronyms in English (e.g., IIRP – French personal income tax).
- Be cautious with labels, suffixes, and mathematical terms; verify against standard English-language references.
Use of AI Technology
- AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) cannot be listed as authors.
- Authors are fully responsible for all content, including text assisted by AI.
- If AI was used for writing or editing, this must be acknowledged in the article’s Acknowledgements section.
- Spellcheckers, grammar tools, or reference managers do not require such acknowledgement.
- Journal Ethics
- To meet academic and professional standards, the journal only accepts articles that are original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere. Submissions must not include any defamatory, unlawful, or rights-infringing content. All listed authors are required to confirm that they have read and approved the final version of the article.
- The submitting author must hold the copyright and have the legal right to sign the Author Copyright Agreement. By submitting, the author agrees to all of these terms.
- The publisher maintains the authority to re-review or even reject a paper after acceptance if it fails to meet editorial or peer review standards, or is otherwise found to be inappropriate for publication.
- Should an author wish to withdraw their paper from consideration or transfer it to another journal, they must do so by submitting a formal written withdrawal before submitting it elsewhere. Failure to comply with these conditions may lead to penalties or sanctions.
