IJAIED articles are to be published on the WWW as well as on paper. Therefore, we expect that all papers will eventually be submitted in a WWW-compatible form and take advantage of the facilities offered by the WWW. At the moment, however, authors may submit the first versions of papers in the traditional paper form, if it is preferred. We do, however, encourage authors to begin adapting papers for WWW publication - reviewers will take account of the rather experimental nature of WWW publication. As papers will also be published in a paper form authors must ensure that the printed form is suitable for such publication.
Submission of a paper represents certification by the author that the article is not being considered nor has been published elsewhere.
Below are general details for the paper, followed by details for hardcopy submission and for electronic submission, and then details for the final version of the paper, if it is accepted.
GENERAL DETAILS
Layout: Authors are advised to consult the section below giving details for the layout of the final version of the paper (if accepted) - it is not essential to follow those instructions for the first submission but it may avoid later work if they are.
General: Papers should conform to the APA style as specified in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association available from APA, 1200 17th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20036 USA.
Length: In general, articles should not exceed 10000 words (with figures considered equivalent to the number of words possible in the space occupied).
Sections: Articles should be subdivided into unnumbered sections and sub-sections using short, meaningful subheads.
Abstract: An informative, comprehensive abstract of 75 to 200 words must be included. This abstract should succinctly summarize the major points of the paper and the author's conclusions.
Keywords: Three or four keywords should be defined. These phrases/words should provide some idea of the subareas of the journal's scope that the paper covers.
Citations: Examples of references cited within the text of articles are as follows: (Williams, Allen, & Jones, 1978) or (Moore, 1990; Smith, 1991) or Terrell (1977).
Quotations: Quoted material of more than two lines should be set in a narrower width than the remainder of the text. At the close of the quotation, give the complete source including page numbers. Where necessary, it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the copyright holders to quote or reproduce material from another publication.
Tables and Figures: Tables and figures should be included in the text at appropriate places. Captions should be provided at the top of each table, and figure captions should be below the figure. (See section on the final submission.)
Equations: Equations should be prepared carefully, use separate lines and centre each equation. If a reference is needed in the text, refer to it as Equation 1, etc., and number each equation, placing this number on the right hand side of the equation.e.g.
Program Listings:
Program listings should be avoided unless they are essential and add
significantly to the article. If included, they must be formatted
exactly as they are to appear - usually, using a fixed width font, e.g.
Acknowledgments:
Financial support for work reported or a grant under which a study was
made should be noted in the Acknowledgments.
Appreciation to individuals for assistance with the manuscript or
with the material reported may also be included.
Any acknowledgements should appear just before the references and be
formatted in the same manner as a section.
References:
Authors are responsible for checking the accuracy of all references and
that all references cited in the text also appear in the References
section. All references should be in alphabetical order by author
(unnumbered), as shown below. Use the following style when referencing
a book, an article in a periodical or in conference proceedings:
The first version of the paper may be submitted on paper or electronically to the editor (editor@ijaied.org).
Paper submission
Four copies of the manuscript should be submitted.
Manuscripts should be typed
on 8.5 x 11 inch or A4 paper with a minimum 1.25 inch
left margin.
A title sheet should precede
the first page of the article and give the title of the article, name of
author(s), institutional mailing address (including department,
institution, city, state, code, and country), or other affiliation.
Include the telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address of the
contact author.
Send four copies of the article to:
Paul Brna
Electronic submission
This should by email as an attached file (using the
standard facilities provided by mail programs such as Eudora, Pegasus,
Mozilla, etc.). We would prefer the document to be submitted as a
Microsoft Word file, but if this is not possible then we will also
accept RTF and LaTeX.
In either case, please include text files (e.g. LaTeX source files), word
processed form and PDF version along with all figures sent as separate
files in a proper graphical format - TIFF, GIF, JPG, EPS, etc. This is in
addition to the figures appearing in the paper as normal.
It may be necessary to send a printed version by post. The printed form
should be posted to the address given above.
We would prefer the paper to be submitted as a Microsoft Word document.
An IJAIED style file can be downloaded
here.
A useful LaTeX template can be obtained
here.
If Word format is not possible then we will also accept RTF and LaTeX.
Ideally, all authors should also submit an HTML version of their
paper. This would be particularly useful if you are not submitting
in our preferred format (Microsoft Word).
Layout of the Paper
It is essential that authors
follow these guidelines for the final version of the paper since we do not
have the resources to do extensive reformatting. The paper
will be printed pretty much as it is submitted. If a paper submitted
as a final version
does not have a satisfactory layout it will not be accepted as the
final version.
Page Set-up:
Use pages of A4 size, with the text falling within a space of
16cm by 22cm.
Fonts and Sizes:
The recommended typefont is . As a second choice, use
Times. Only for tables and figures (illustrations) you may use
Helvetica, Univers or other sans-serif fonts.
Keep italics and/or bold for special text parts.
Recommended typefont sizes:
Title:
Type the title approx. 2 cm below the first line of the page.
Left justify the title on the page. Leave approx 1 cm between
the title and the name(s) of the author(s) typed left-justified and bold
12pt.
Continuing straight after, type the address(es) for
correspondence left-justified in italics.
Please include email addresses and URLs
when possible in the address on separate lines and italicised.
Abstract: The abstract should be in 10pt, not
indented and begin with the emboldened word "Abstract." There
should be two
blank lines before and after.
Keywords: The keywords should be in 10pt, not
indented and begin with the emboldened word "Keywords." There
should be two
blank lines before and after.
General Layout:
Use single line spacing.
The main text (including the abstract) should be fully justified.
Start a new paragraph by indenting it 0.75 cm from the left margin
(and not by inserting a blank line), except under a heading and subheading.
Only use italics if you want to emphasise specific parts of the main text.
Headings:
Headings, subheadings and subsubheadings should be left-justified.
Do not include references to the literature, illustrations
or tables in headings and subheadings. A
HEADING should be in bold and capitals, with two blank lines
before and one blank line after it.
A Subheading should be in bold and lowercase, with one blank
line before and after it. A
Subsubheading should be in bold and italics, with one
blank line before and after it.
Illustrations and Tables:
All illustrations must be numbered consecutively (i.e., not section-wise),
using Arabic numbers. All illustrations should be centred, except for
very small figures (no wider than 7 cm), which may be placed side by side.
Centre figure captions beneath the figure, e.g.
All tables must be numbered consecutively (in Arabic numbers). Table
headings should be placed above the table, e.g.
Upon publication, each author will receive a complimentary copy of the
journal issue in which the article appears.
Note that revisions may be made to this document as IJAIED and IOS,
the publisher, move closer to an agreed standard.
