Manuscript Submission Guidelines
(Short Version)

New Manuscripts (see Revisions below)

  • Authors should submit their manuscripts through the JCR web site. Please read the instructions carefully.
  • Everything must be double spaced. Times 12 font must be used. Numbering begins on the title page (page 1), and is in the upper right corner. The paper must be left justified. There must be one-inch margins on all sides. Please use letter format (not A4 or international). Please be sure that all electronic comments and corrections between authors have been removed (not just turned off).
  • There should be no footnotes.
  • The abstract should be no longer than 125 words.
  • Authors should suggest the names of the associate editor and reviewers they consider most appropriate for their manuscript. Brief explanations should accompany these suggestions. While it cannot be guaranteed that author recommendations will be followed, they will be taken into consideration. Please do not suggest colleagues, friends, advisors, or people who have already seen the manuscript.
  • All identification information must be provided for each author.
  • Please note that the manuscript file must be complete (title page, author note, abstract, text, references, tables, figures and photographs--in this order) as one file only. Please use black and white for figures and photos to reduce the file size. We cannot accept anything sent as multiple files or with incomplete information. Please do not mail hard copies.
  • Please note: Files for review must not be any larger than 1000 KB. Please do not send any zipped files. Please check with your tech support people at your university if you have questions about preparing your file for submission (e.g., reducing the file size). Files will not be accepted for review unless they meet the submission guidelines. Once a file is accepted for publication, there will be no file size constraint.
  • The "Reflections" section is by invitation only (please do not submit articles for this section).

Revisions

Revisions must follow the guidelines above and include a second file of revision notes.

The format for revision notes is your choice (by topic or by person, although an overview to the group by topic should always precede any specific information formatted by individual reviewer).

Please be sure to follow the editor's instructions from the previous round of reviews.

It is assumed that revisions will be returned in a timely manner.
