Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has NOT been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is a Microsoft Word, or RTF, document and uses the DeReMa Author Template (Word .doc).
  • The text is justified with 1 1/2 line spacing; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end. The full stylistic and bibliographic requirements are outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • ALL REFERENCES ARE PROPERLY FORMATTED ACCORDING TO APA GUIDELINES. DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) or URLs ARE INCLUDED when available. For assistance finding DOIs of cited references, go to http://search.crossref.org. After locating the correct DOI and reference, choose Action > Cite > APA to ensure it is cited properly.

    During Step 3 of the submission process, the list of APA-formated references will need to be pasted into a separate text box.

  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.
