Journal Article Writing Standards

When writing articles, avoid using bullet points, indentation, or numbering like this:

1. ....
2. ....

but it is better written as follows: (1) ..., (2) ....

• The article is written in essay form, so there is no numerical (or alphabetical) format separating chapters/sections, or to mark new chapters/sections.
• If there are tables and figures/graphs, they must be referenced in the discussion.
• The conclusion is not detailed in bullet points, but in paragraphs.
• Use running notes, not footnotes or endnotes.
• Citation and reference list formatting must be consistent. 

•  Please consult your journal with the Examining Lecturer.
  
  
• The editorial team reserves the right to edit articles without altering the substance and main ideas of the author. 
  
  
• Try not to submit your work too close to the deadline set by the Faculty.
