Submission Guidelines

Authors are requested to submit their work in accordance with the following guidelines so as to facilitate the review process.

1. Manuscripts submitted, written in English, should be original and not published or under consideration elsewhere unless authorized by the editorial board.

2. Each manuscript submitted will be reviewed by the editorial board for its general suitability. If judged to be suitable, a double blind review process by two reviewers will take place. The editorial board, based on the suggestions given by the reviewers, will decide whether the manuscript should be rejected, revised, or accepted.

3. The scholarly peer-reviewed article should normally be between 4,500 to 7,500 words including references, footnotes, tables, figures, and their captions. Include an abstract of approximately 100 words and information about the name of the author(s), affiliation, address, contact details, and email. The name of the author(s) should not appear within the article text.

4. An electronic version of the manuscript in a format compatible with the Windows environment should be submitted via email to Prof. Nelson Antonio ( in Europe: nelson.antonio@iscte.pt) or Dr Carlos Noronha (in Asia: fbacn@umac.mo).

5. Sections and sub-sections should be clearly differentiated in a logical way. Sections should be typed in bold capitals while sub-sections are typed in bold lower case letters. Avoid the use of more than two levels of sections.

6. Tables, charts, and figures should fit the journal¡¦s page size and clearly labeled and captioned with headings and numbers (e.g. Table 1, Figure 1, etc.).  Instructions should be given on putting them in the text (e.g. insert table 1 about here).

7. All mathematical notations, numbers, and symbols must be typewritten.

8. The manuscript should be typed double-spaced, font size 12.

9. Referencing is similar to the Harvard system. Include bibliographic information in the ¡¥References¡¦ only materials cited in the text. Avoid the use of footnotes and endnotes whenever possible.
