Author Guidelines

Contributed manuscripts must be submitted online via this site.

Submission of an original manuscript to the Journal will be taken to mean that it represents original work not previously published, that it is not being considered elsewhere for publication; that the author is willing to assign copyright to the journal as per a contract that will be sent to the author just prior to publication and, if accepted for publication, it will be published in print and online and it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, for commercial purposes, in any language, without the consent of the publisher.

Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online to the Crossroads intranet prior to and during the submission process, as it can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and greater citation of published work.

For bibliographic and formatting standards please refer to the Crossroads stylesheet.
