Author Guidelines

Preparation of manuscripts: Papers should be in English.

The submission file is required in Microsoft Word DOC or RTF document file format. Any information that might serve to identify the author/s must be excluded from manuscripts submitted for review.

Manuscript length: Articles should be between 3000 and 6000 words in length, including the abstract, notes, appendices and references.

Referencing: the APA Formatting and Style Guide 6th edition is used for the formatting of submissions. This is a link to an easy to use guide to the APA requirements. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/1/  For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6th edition, second printing.

 'American' or 'English' spellings are acceptable, providing they are used consistently. Translation of articles from other languages into English is encouraged and should be provided by professional translators. The Editors reserve the right to make editorial and literary corrections.

Permission and acknowledgment: Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to quote copyrighted material. At the end of your article, please acknowledge sources of funding/support, other participants and copyright holders who have given permission to use their material.

Pre-Submission Checklist

  1. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editors).
  2. The submission file is in Microsoft Word or RTF document file format.
  3. All URL addresses in the text (e.g., http://pkp.sfu.ca) are activated and ready to click.
  4. The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics rather than underlining; and all illustrations, figures and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  5. The text adheres to the Author Guidelines noted above.
  6. The text, if submitted to a peer-reviewed section (e.g., Articles), has had the authors' names removed. If an author is cited, "Author" and year are used in the in-text references and reference list, instead of author's name and year of publication/presentation. The author's name has also been removed from the document's Properties, which in Microsoft Word is found in the File menu.
  7. Referencing: The author is responsible for ensuring the content of his/her paper meets academic integrity guidelines. That is, the content of ALL papers must be the author's own work except where explicitly and fully acknowledged. Information derived from the published or unpublished work of others should be acknowledged using the author-date system with in-text citation and a works cited reference list in accordance with the APA referencing guidelines.
  8. Copyright: Normally short quotations and similar copied material (e.g., diagrams, tables) directly related to the content of the work from which a copy is to be taken are considered 'fair dealing' for scholarly purposes and do not require the copyright owner's permission. However, the source must be clearly indicated and acknowledged. In Australian law (which applies to this journal), 'fair dealing' requires that you quote only insubstantial portions of a copyright work - this is normally defined as a cumulative amount of 1% of the content or up to two pages. If substantial portions of a copyright work are used, or if the author wishes to reproduce drawings or photographs that are the original work of another person, the author is responsible for contacting the copyright owner and obtaining permission to use that copyright material in her/his works. Moreover, if the copyright owner requires payment, the authors must pay those costs. The Asia-Pacific Association for Computer-Assisted Language Learning, the sponsoring organisation of this Journal, will not pay copyright fees.

 

The Journal Editors reserve the right: to place individual papers in formats for viewing and printing on the Journal Website; to submit the published papers to indexing, abstracting and/or non-commercial reproduction services such as Australian Education Index (AEI) and the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC); and to submit the published papers to institutional e-print repositories.
