GUIDE FOR AUTHORS

1. Use of word processing software
The articles that you send should be in two files, the first should be in the native format of the word processor (preferably in MS Word) used and the second in a PDF file. The length of the articles should not exceed 6.000 words. The text should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as possible. In particular, use the word processor’s option to justify text. Furthermore, do use bold face, italics, subscripts, superscripts etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns.
To avoid unnecessary errors, you are strongly advised to use the ‘spell-check’ and ‘grammar-check’ functions of your word processor. The paper text must be single spaced in Times New Roman 12 font, with one-inch margins.

2. Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, references should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
The abstract should not exceed 250 words.

3. Abbreviations
Abbreviations must be defined at their first mention there. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article. When using a full stop (period) in an abbreviation, the full stop indicates letters omitted. A full stop should not be used if the abbreviation ends with the same letter as the original word. “Volume” may be abbreviated “Vol.”, “section” may be abbreviated “sec.”, etc., but “Doctor” should be abbreviated “Dr” without an ending full stop.

4. Acknowledgements
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page.

5. Footnotes
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article, using superscript Arabic numbers. Many word processors build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference List.

6. Tables
Number tables consecutively, in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.

7. References
Double check that references are in correct format. Papers not being referenced in text must be omitted.

8. Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). References to publications should be as follows:
‘Smith (1992) reports that…’ or ‘This problem has been studied previously (e.g., Adams et al., 1999)’.
The author should make sure that there is a strict one-to-one correspondence between the names and years in the text and those on the list. The list of references should appear at the end of the main text (after any appendices). It should be double spaced and listed in alphabetical order by 1st author’s Surname.

9. Reference formatting
References should be in a plain format without the use of bold, italics or underline. Also the font should be Times New Roman, 10. Indicatively, authors should follow the examples below:
Journal example:
Collier, M. (2001). “The power of accounting: a field study of local financial management in a police force”, Management Accounting Research, Vol. 12, pp. 465–486.
Book example:
Ryan, B. Scapens, R. and Theobold, M. (2002). “Research Methods and Methodology in Finance an Accounting”, London: Thomson.

10. Web references
The use of web sources should be kept to a minimum. In any case, the full URL should be given as well as the date when the reference was last accessed. Any additional information, if known (author names, dates, etc.), should also be given.
