Instructions to Authors
Style. Manuscripts should follow the parenthetic citation style of documentation modeled by the American Psychological Association (APA). The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association: Fifth Edition was most recently updated in 2001; some online information on using the APA Manual is available at http://www.apastyle.org/. The article should be double-spaced throughout with one-inch margins on all sides. Pages should be unnumbered. Manuscripts should be original and not published elsewhere. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of all materials including quotations, references, etc.

Length. Contributions of major importance should be 10-15 pages double-spaced. Rebuttals, whimsical pieces and short essays should be 2-7 pages, double-spaced. However, articles of any length may be submitted. (Graphics, charts, and tables are not included in the page count.) Charts and tables should be submitted separately from text.

Graphics. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to use graphic materials (illustrations, images, photographs, screen captures, etc.). Submit camera-ready artwork for all illustrations, black and white only.

Photos: Authors may submit photos of themselves and photos that illustrate the manuscript. Photos should be submitted electronically as a jpeg or a tif at 300 dpi or higher resolution. Photos may also be sent by mail to the editor (see address above).

Submitting manuscripts. Authors should be identified by a cover sheet that contains the author’s name, position, address, and email address. Identifying information should not appear on the manuscript. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically in one of two ways:

1. Microsoft Word (preferred), WordPerfect or plain ASCII text file on a PC-compatible disk, accompanied by a paper copy. (See editor’s address above.)
OR
2. Microsoft Word (preferred), WordPerfect or plain ASCII text file (PC compatible) attached to an email message addressed to kevans4@isugw.indstate.edu

Manuscripts will be acknowledged upon receipt and a decision concerning use will be made within thirty days after the date of receipt. The editor reserves the right to revise all accepted manuscripts for clarity and style. Edited articles will be returned to the authors for review. Those articles not returned to the editor within 5 days will be published as revised by the editor or assistant editors. Upon publication, the author will receive two complimentary copies.
