The manuscript is original, has not been published elsewhere, and is not under consideration by another journal (exceptions must be detailed in the Comments to the Editor).
The submission is formatted as an Open Office, Microsoft Word, or RTF document.
URLs are included for references where applicable.
The text is single-spaced, uses a 12-point font, and employs italics for emphasis instead of underlining (except for URLs). All illustrations, figures, and tables are embedded within the text at relevant points rather than appended at the end.
The manuscript adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic standards specified in the Author’s Guidelines.
