Guide for Authors

Preparing an article

In preparing your article, please pay close attention to the following:

Authors

Single or co-authors will be listed on the first page of the article. In the case of multiple authorship, names will appear in the order in which contributors give them, even if that order is not alphabetical. For purposes of online tagging, please ensure author names are supplied with the first name first, followed by the surname or family name. Please also provide the country along with your affiliation/address.

Length

Articles of around 3,500 up to 9500 words in length may be submitted and are preferred. It is not possible for us to normally accept articles over 9,500 words long, but if need be and when this suits the editorial policy, lengthy articles could be considered for publication depending on the scientific value and novelty of the considered article. Word counts may exclude author(s)' affiliations and contact information, tables, references and appendices, but should include the abstract and the list of keywords.

Abstract

The abstract should be concise, compact and suggestive of the material included in the article. The abstract of an article describes the research problem, methods, results and conclusions of your research. The abstract should be no more than 150 words, excluding a list of key words to be provided below the abstract.

It must be written on a separate page after the title page.

Please do not include any references in your Abstract. Make sure it serves both as a general introduction to the topic and as a brief, non-technical summary of the main results and their implications.

Manuscript

For the main body of the text, there are no specific requirements. You can organize it in a way that best suits your research. However, the following structure will be suitable in many cases:

  1. Introduction

  2. Context and Problem

  3. Review of Literature (and Theoretical Framework)

  4. Methods

  5. Results (with subheadings)

  6. Discussion (without subheadings)

  7. Conclusion

  8. Implications for Pedagogy

You should then follow the main body of text with:

  • References (no more than 30 references, though not strictly enforced)
  • Acknowledgements (optional)
  • Author contributions (names must be given as initials, also optional)
  • Data availability statement (mandatory)
  • Additional Information (including a Competing Interests Statement)
  • Figure legends (these are limited to 350 words per figure)
  • Tables (maximum size of one page)

Please note, footnotes should not be used.

Supplementary materials such as appendices should be combined and supplied as a single separate file, preferably in PDF format. In most cases, supplementary materials may not be published unless deemed important for the readership.

The manuscript should be formatted and referenced in accordance with the APA Style 7th edition APA Publication Manual (2020). You may refer to the rules and guidelines of the APA Style 7th edition at https://apastyle.apa.org/
