Author Guidelines

Articles submitted to TCI should be written in English. Translations of abstracts and/or full papers in other languages will be accepted by negotiation with the Editor. The Editors are developing procedures for reviewing manuscripts in other languages which will allow TCI to publish some articles in languages other than English.

Submissions to TCI should consistently follow one of the common author-date styles for formatting citations and bibliographies (e.g., Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th Edition, 2001). Whichever style is followed, it is crucial that all salient information about a quoted or cited source is supplied including:

• author/s: if the author writes under her/his full name (e.g., William E. Doll Jr.) please use that name in the reference list rather than arbitrarily reducing it to initials
• all authors and editors of multi-author articles, chapters or books should be listed in the references (if three or more this can be abbreviated as '[first author/editor] et. al.' or '[first author/editor] and others' in the body of the article
• date of publication
• full titles of articles, chapters, books and journals
• volume and issue numbers for journals
• full names of editor/s (as for author/s) of edited collections
• page numbers for articles and chapters in edited collections

TCI encourages authors to upload appropriate supplementary files (e.g., data-sets, research instruments, etc.) in addition to their manuscript to extend the value and understanding of their work.

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 Microsoft Word, RTF, or PDF format.
3. All URL addresses in the text (e.g., http://pkp.sfu.ca) are activated and ready to click.
4. The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
5. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
6. The text includes an abstract of up to 250 words. Translations of this abstract into one or more other languages in which the author is fluent will also be accepted.
