Manuscripts must be double spaced, including quotations, abstract, reference section,
and any notes. All figures and tables should appear at the end of the manuscript, with each
one on a separate page-do not embed them in your manuscript.
The cover page should include the title of the manuscript, author name(s), and the
telephone number and surface and email address of the contact author. The second page
should contain a 100-word abstract briefly describing the contents of the paper, the
research method, and the results.
Graphic elements (figures and tables) must be called out in the text. Graphic
elements must be in black ink although exceptions may be made in certain cases.
References follow the style outlined in the Chicago Manual of Style. All
non-original material must be sourced.
Accepted papers must be submitted electronically in addition to a hard copy. Make
sure the hard copy corresponds to the electronic version. Authors will be required to
return article page proofs to the Managing Editor within 48 hours of their receipt.
Acceptable software for text and equations is limited to Word, WordPerfect, and
LaTeX. Data behind all figures, maps, and charts must be provided in Excel, Word, or

for graphic elements is limited to Excel, DeltaGraph, or Adobe Illustrator. If other
software is used, the file supplied must have an .eps or .pdf extension. We do not accept
PowerPoint.
