Guide to authors
Articles should include a brief (300 words or less) abstract, and a short biography (100 words or less) with author's full name, title, current affiliation, and a brief description of recent work. Receipt of all submissions will be acknowledged by e-mail.
Articles can be submitted in MSWord or Rich Text Format. Manuscripts should be typed in Arial 12 point font, with double-line spacing. Wherever possible, correspondence will be done using email.
Submissions accepted for consideration will be evaluated anonymously by at least two external reviewers. ASQ expects that the content of all manuscripts to be original and the article not to have been accepted for publication elsewhere.
The final publication depends on the quality of the manuscript, the associated peer review process, and the number of manuscripts which have already been accepted. The journal will attempt to publish manuscripts no later than six months after submission.
Formatting
Authors are asked to strictly limit their use of underlining and bolding. Please keep tables and graphs to a minimum. If such items are essential, they must be sent grayscale (black and white) in .gif or .jpg format as separate files. Please indicate placement preference by using the notation: [insert table 1.gif here]. The editorial staff reserves the right to determine inclusion or to change the size or placement of all graphics.
All articles should have page numbering, and there should be no section breaks.
Endnote Style
We require the use of endnotes not parenthetical citations. There should be only one endnote per sentence, therefore all references in one sentence should be consolidated into one endnote and placed properly at the end of that sentence. An endnote consists of two linked parts, the number mark in the text and the corresponding note at the end of the text. All endnotes must be inserted automatically as generated by a word processor program such as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, etc.
Examples
Text:
While the women’s movement in Botswana was by the turn of the century having a growing influence with the government and, more broadly, society as a whole, Agnes Leslie suggests that “the women’s ‘success’ may be more symbolic than real.” 1
