Author
Guidelines
All articles are
refereed. Papers submitted to the journal must not previously have
been published nor submitted for publication to any other journal.
General
Style Guidelines
- Contributions
should follow the format and style described in the Publication Manual
of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Spelling and
punctuation should conform to The Macquarie Dictionary (4th ed.).
For matters of style not covered in these two publications the Style
manual for authors, editors and printers (6th ed.) should be consulted.
- Uncommon abbreviations
and acronyms should be explained. Do not use underlining except to
indicate italics. Full stops should not be used in abbreviations
or acronyms (e.g., NSW).
- Use single quotation
marks to introduce a word or phrase used as an ironic comment, as
slang, or which has been coined. Use quotation marks the first time
the word or phrase is used; do not use them again. Do not use quotation
marks to introduce a technical or key term. Instead, italicise the
term.
- Do not use any
footnotes. Endnotes should be kept to a minimum and listed at the
end of the text under the centred heading "Endnotes". Acknowledgments
should be placed at the end of the article with a separate heading.
- Tables should
be at the end of the manuscript, not in the main text. Their approximate
positions in the text should be indicated by the words, “Insert
Table X here”. Horizontal and vertical lines should be used
sparingly.
- Photographs, graphs
and figures should be at the end of the manuscript, not in the main
text, and include placement instructions in the Word document, such
as "Insert Fig x here".
- A list of figure
captions should follow the tables in the manuscript.
- References should
follow the format and style described in the Publication Manual of
the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Examples of citations
are:
The theory
was first propounded in 1970 (Larsen, 1971).
Larsen (1971) was the first to propound the theory.
Examples
of references are:
Fisse, B.
(1989). The proceeds of crime act: The rise of money laundering,
offences and the fall of principle. Criminal
Law Journal, 13,
5-23.
Zelinski, E.M., & Gilewski, M.J. (1988). Memory for prose
and aging: A meta-analysis. In M.L. Howe & C.J. Brainerd
(Eds.), Cognitive development in adulthood (pp. 133-158). New
York: Springer-Verlag.
Digital
Submission Guidelines
- Documents should
be saved as a Microsoft Word document (or in RTF format if using
another program) double-spaced with minimum margins of 25 mm on both
sides and in A4 page size.
- The first page
of the document should include the title of the article only.
- The second page
should include the title again, with the full names and affiliations
of all the authors followed by a full postal and e-mail addresses
for the corresponding author. A word count and suggested running
head of no more than 50 characters including spaces should also be
provided on this second page.
- The
third page should contain an abstract only, not exceeding 200 words.
It should provide a brief overview of the aims, method and major
findings and should not refer to the body of the text in the abstract.
- FIGURES, GRAPHS,
ILLUSTRATIONS, PHOTOGRAPHS, SPECIAL CHARACTERS
To ensure optimum quality, please follow the guidelines
below when submitting artwork.
Figures,
graphs, illustrations and photogrpahs should be prepared
to the correct size and each one supplied as an individual
file, separate to the manuscript Word file. Include placement
instructions in the Word document, such as "[Insert
fig 1 here]".
Figures created in Microsoft Word, Excel or Powerpoint
need to be saved as PDFs.
Figures created in a drawing program such as Adobe llustrator,
CorelDRAW, Freehand, Microsoft Publisher or similar should
be saved as EPS (encapsulated postscript) files.
Figures created in Photoshop or with other photographic
software should be saved with a minimum resolution of 600
dpi and in TIF format. Minimum resolution for scanned graphics
is 300dpi for halftone work (e.g., photographs) and 600
dpi for line art, and these should also be in TIF format.
All figures and graphs should should be in black and white
line art (artwork that has only text and lines, no shades
of grey or blocks of colour).
All photographs should be supplied as separate files in
JPEG or TIFF formats for a minimum 300 dpi resolution.
(As a rough guide, the file size of each photograph should
be above 200KB).
Manuscripts which contain special characters (equations,
Chinese characters, etc.) need to be supplied as a high
resolution PDF file (print or press format) with all fonts
embedded as well as the Word or RTF document.
Prior to sending artwork, the separate files of figures,
graphs, illustrations, and so on, should be printed by
the author to test that the fonts have been embedded correctly
and there is no distortion in the artwork (e.g., lines
and fonts reproduce cleanly with no jagged lines or fuzzy
edges), as any such faults cannot be corrected by the publisher.
