Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  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 Editor).
  2. The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  3. Where available, URLs / DOIs for the references have been provided.
  4. The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs bold, rather than italics. Please avoid excessive use of emphasizing.
    All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, and should be clearly labelled with a number and caption (with NO full stop at the end of the caption). Note that captions should be placed differently: above the tables, but below the figures.
  5. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
  6. If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed. 
    Authors' biodata should be included on a separate sheet: title, authors' names, brief biographies, contact address, and acknowledgements, if necessary.
  7. The paper starts, after its title, with an abstract of approximately 150 words, headed "Abstract", and a list of keywords, headed "Keywords".
  8. The text of the paper should be structured in sections, decimally hierarchically numbered (i.e., 1, 1.1, 1.1.1, etc). No more than three levels of numbering should be used. Each section should bear a section title. The section numbering does not cover the Abstract and starts with the first section of the main text of the paper. References and Appendices are not numbered sections.
  9. Notes must appear as footnotes rather than endnotes. They are identified by consecutive superscript Arabic numbering. Please avoid excessive use of notes.
  10. Linguistic example sentences and formulas should be numbered on the left start of the line for cross reference by Arabic numbers enclosed in round brackets.
    Linguistic example sentences from languages other than text of the paper must be accompanied by a literal word-by-word gloss as well as an translation.
    For abbreviations, the authors are asked to use Leipzig Glossing Rules and List of Standard Abbreviations. Also the Childes Codes for Grammatical Morphemes are accepted.
  11. Full bibliographical references must appear under the heading "References" at the very end of the paper, alphabetically ordered by author's surname and chronologically ordered per author.
  12. Acknowledgements should not appear in footnotes.
  13. Appendices may be used for the presentation of detailed material supplementing the text. They appear under the separate headings "Appendix 1", "Appendix 2", etc. after the main text and References.
