Notes for Contributors

The International Journal of Employment Studies abides by the conventional model of double blind peer refereeing by two recognised and well published experts in the relevant field.

Authors are asked to submit three copies of their article.  The articles should be 4 000–7 000 words and accompanied by an abstract of 100-150 words.  It is requested that you adhere to the following guidelines:

Arrangement               
To assist with the anonymous refereeing process a separate title page should contain author(s), name(s), position(s) and organisation(s), full title of paper and abstract.  The main text is to be arranged as follows:
 
Introduction
Main text divided into sections
Conclusions/recommendations
Footnotes
Appendices
References
Acknowledgments
 
Font                               
Proportional spacing 14 point Times font (mathematical notation and super/subscripts in 12 point Times).  ‘Quotations’  should be set in single quotes.  Emphasis should be set in bold type.  Foreign phrases should be set in italics.
 
Line Spacing                
One and a half spacing.
 
Headings                      
Each section should have a heading.  These should not be numbered.  First level headings should be set in bold in capitals, followed by one blank line and preceded by two blank lines.  Second level headings should be set in bold, not capitalised, followed by one blank line and preceded by one blank line.
 
Headers and Footers     
No headers and footers.  However, your paper should have page numbers pencilled lightly at the right bottom of each page.
 
Footnotes                    
Keep to a minimum and place at end of main text.
 
Tables and figures     
Number consecutively.  Place as soon as possible after reference to table made in text.  Title should be flush with the left margin and placed above the table in bold and lower case.  For example:
 
Table 1:       Visitors to the New Attraction

Camera ready copies of figures/charts should be provided.
