Abstract and keywords

All papers should be accompanied by a short abstract, outlining the paper's aims and subject matter, and up to six keywords.

Description of author(s)

General guidelines

Papers should be supported by actual or hypothetical examples, wherever possible and appropriate.

Authors should not seek to use the Journal as a vehicle for marketing any specific product or service.

Authors should avoid the use of language or slang which is not in keeping with the academic and professional style of the Journal.

Titles of organisations, etc. should be written out first in full, followed by the organisation's initials in brackets, and thereafter the initials only should be used.

Equations should be followed by English translations.

Authors are asked to ensure that references to named people and/or organisations are accurate, not racist or sexist, and without libellous implications.

Reference Style

The journal uses the Chicago-based reference style is used in the humanities based on the specifications given in the Chicago Manual of Style. Please adhere to the following guidelines when preparing your manuscript:

Do not abbreviate journal names; they are always written out.
Do not abbreviate the given names of the authors if they were submitted in full.
Follow the author regarding capitalization of titles of an article, chapter, or book but ensure it is consistent according to either the 16th edition (upper and lower case titles) or 15th edition (capitalize only the first word in the title of an article, chapter, or book and any proper nouns) of the Chicago Manual of Style. If creating a list from scratch, standardly follow the 15th edition.

Text Citations

As a rule, all the references given in the list of references should be cited in the body of a text (i.e., in the text proper, any appendix, any footnotes to either of these, figure legends, or tables). Of course, any reference may be cited more than once. Citation may take one of two forms:

By number, whether sequential by citation or according to the sequence in an alphabetized list
By name of cited author and year of publication Only one form of citation is permitted within a publication.

Reference citations within an abstract of a journal article must be treated differently since a reader may only have the abstract (and not the text or the list of references). Regardless of the style of citation otherwise used, in an abstract a reference citation should take the form, for example, "as reported by Smith (JAMA 352:24-28, 2004)."

Spelling

Use either US or UK spellings consistently throughout. For UK spellings, take as a guide the new edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary and the Oxford Dictionary for Writers and Editors; Websters Collegiate for US spellings. UK spellings will therefore prefer '-ize' to '-ise', as a verb ending (e.g. realize, specialize, recognize, etc.).
