Citations
Authors should use the author-date system for citations: (Corker and French, 1999; McDowell, 1999, 96-122; Bell et al., 1994)
Within the text, use “quotation marks” for citing. Use italic for non-English, foreign words or terms and for the purpose of emphasizing (ex. thinking about how we listen rather than why?). Also use italic when including titles of books or other texts.
Spelling
There is no spelling style preferred. Consistency within the manuscript is expected. It is also expected that your text is submitted fully proof read.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments are to be included at the end of the body of the text, before the list of references.
Footnotes
Footnotes are to be used sparingly and placed at the bottom of the page. Please use footnotes rather than endnotes and use Arabic numerals.
References
List references alphabetically at the end of the manuscript. For more than one entry with same author(s) and date, use letters to distinguish them, e.g. 1999a, 1999b, 1999c. Arrange entries under a particular author's name chronologically, with the most recent listed first. All authors' names are to be part of the entry.
