SPELLING, GRAMMAR, AND PUNCTUATION.

in acceptable grammar and punctuation. Neither the Editor nor the Publisher
is responsible for correcting errors of spelling and grammar: the manuscript
after acceptance by the Editor, must be immediately ready for typesetting
when finally submitted by the author(s).
-
The APA Publication Manual gives
explicit instructions on punctuation, spelling, abbreviations, statistical
formulae, etc. Check your paper for the following common errors: • dangling
modifiers • misplaced modifiers • unclear antecedents • incorrect or inconsistent
abbreviations. Also, check the accuracy of all arithmetic calculations,
statistics, numerical data, text citations and references. All cited references
must be given in full, including the volume, issues, and page numbers.
-
INCONSISTENCIES MUST BE AVOIDED.

in citing references, from one part of your paper to another.
-
PREPARATION OF TABLES, FIGURES,
AND ILLUSTRATIONS. All tables, figures, illustrations, etc. must be "camera-ready."
That is, they must be cleanly typed or artistically prepared so that they
can be used either exactly as they are or else used after a photographic
reduction in size. Figures, tables, and Illustrations must be prepared
on separate sheets of paper. Always use black Ink and professional drawing
instruments. On the back of these items, write your article title and the
journal title lightly in pencil so they do not get misplaced. In text,
skip extra lines and indicate where these figures and tables are to be
placed (please do not write on face of art). Photographs are considered
part of the acceptable manuscript and remain with Publisher for use in
additional printings.
-
ALTERATIONS REOUIRED BY REFEREES
AND REVIEWERS. Many times a paper is accepted by the Editor contingent
upon changes that are mandated by anonymous specialist referees and members
of the Editorial Board. If the Editor returns your manuscript for revisions,
you are responsible for retyping any sections of the paper to incorporate
these revisions (if applicable, revisions should also be put on disk).
-
TYPESETTING. You will not be
receiving galley proofs of your article. Editorial revisions if any must
therefore be made while your article IS still in manuscript. The final
version of the manuscript will be the version you see published. Typesetter
s errors will be corrected by the production staff of The Haworth Press.
Authors are expected to submit manuscripts, disks, and art that are free
from error.
-
ELECTRONIC MEDIA. Haworth’s
in-house type-setting unit is able to utilize your manuscript material
as prepared on most personal computers and word processors. This will minimize
typographical errors and decrease overall production time lag Please send
the first draft and final draft copies of your manuscript to the journal
Editor in print format for his/her final review and approval. After approval
of your final manuscript, please submit the final approved version both
on printed format (hard copy) and floppy diskette. On the outside of the
diskette package write: A. the brand name of your computer or word processor
B. the word-processing program that you used C. the title of your article,
and D. file name. NOTE: Disk and hard copy must agree. In case of discrepancies,
it is The Haworth Press policy to follow hard copy. Authors are advised
that no revisions of the manuscript can be made after acceptance by the
Editor for publication. The benefits of this procedure are many with speed
and accuracy being the most obvious. We look forward to working with you
on this, knowing we will be able to serve you more efficiently in the future.
