Style Guide

As a general rule, we adhere to the framework of the APA Style (7th Edition). The following are some recommended general guidelines when preparing your manuscript:

  • Usage of British spellings over American spellings (e.g., “colour” not “color”; “organise” not “organize”; “programme” not “program”)
  • Usage of italics for emphasis and foreign words
  • Usage of author-date system for references and in-text citations
  • Express numbers below 10 in words (e.g., two, nine) and numbers 10 and above in numerals
  • If you have illustrations, please include them within the text and separately as high-resolution files (JPEG or TIFF format)

Please note that we do make exceptions to the aforementioned guidelines, on a case-by-case basis. Your Editor will be able to guide and provide you with the necessary information.​
