E-Proceedings editorial and style guide

Manuscripts submitted via e-mail for review must not have been published previously or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Original contributions, in English, French or Spanish, should be emailed to the Managing Editor, Walter Bloom at w.bloom@murdoch.edu.au.

Experts in the field review all articles, and following review, articles are returned via e-mail for revision if required before final acceptance. Once a paper is accepted for publication, the editors are willing to work with the author(s) to ensure appropriate English/French/Spanish usage. An abstract in English will be included in the published version. All accepted articles are edited as necessary for clarity and conformity to ICOMON standards.

Authors should submit manuscripts electronically in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, and receipt of manuscript will be acknowledged via e-mail.

  • All submissions must include a title page and a listing of all authors, their email address, their institutional affiliation, their full mailing addresses, and their telephone and fax numbers (include country code).
  • Submissions should include an abstract of no more than 200 words (highlighting the scope, methodology, and conclusions of the paper) at the beginning of each manuscript.
  • If using copyrighted material (quotations, tables, illustrations, etc.), the author is responsible for obtaining permission from the copyright holder.
  • If there are references, make sure they are placed at the end of the manuscript in alphabetical order by first author. Use the following general format when listing references. If you're not sure, provide all the relevant information (editions, editors, translators, etc.).
