- Omit headers and footers except for the running head and page numbers.
- Remove all identifiers of the authors and affiliations from the manuscript. Be sure computer software does not reveal author’s identity as well.
- It is the author's responsibility to secure any permissions necessary to quote copyrighted text or use graphics and/or figures or other material not originally created by the author. Include a letter of permissions with manuscript.
- Manuscripts with data involving human subjects should be submitted with a statement or verification from the author that an Institutional Review Board certificate or letter approving the research and guaranteeing protection of human subjects has been obtained from the researcher's institution.

All manuscripts will be judged on their scholarship, contribution to the knowledge base, timeliness of topic, creative/thoughtful approach, clarity and cohesiveness, appropriateness to category, and adherence to preparation guidelines. Selections may also be affected by editorial decisions regarding the overall content of a particular edition.
