Format Guidelines

The editor will return manuscripts twice for formatting/style issues before the manuscript is deemed terminally unsuitable for JOLE publication.


Specifics:

  • Use 1" margins all around.
  • Do NOT utilize a running head.
  • Leave pages unnumbered.
  • Use ONLY Times New Roman font for all text, figures, and tables. 
  • Do NOT begin tables on a separate page.
  • Do NOT change default settings of Microsoft Word for such features as line spacing.
  • Major headings are required, centered.
  • Double space all text.
  • Do NOT indent the first word of paragraphs.
  • List references alphabetically, flush left, single spaced, with a hard return between each reference.
  • No photos will be accepted.
  • JOLE encourages use of the first person pronouns "I" and "we" in submissions.
  • Sanitize all manuscripts by removing any identifying verbiage.

Otherwise all manuscripts should adhere to recommendations found in the current
Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA).
