Referencing and Citation Guidelines

When referencing sources it is preferred if your article could follow the Harvard system, and if not then something equally clear.

Submission and Publishing Format

The articles should be submitted having followed the style guide as a “Microsoft Office Document XML (.docx) file. Portable Document Format (.pdf) submissions will be politely rejected and a “.docx” copy requested.

The articles will be published as HTML formatted text on a web page, much like a blog post. This reduces the barriers to reading by not requiring the downloading and opening of a Portable Document Format (.pdf) file.

Take-Down Policy

It is necessary to have in place a take-down policy as a safeguard against libel and/or other legal issues. By submitting your work you agree to this take-down policy. We will only take down an article if we are legally required to do so (if the article is found to be defamatory or in violation of copyright, for example), or if it contains major flaws or inaccuracies that warrant complete retraction. In most cases factual errors will be able to be corrected and readers notified of the change. Readers will always be notified if an article is retracted in full. We will make a copy of this policy publicly available.

Corrections

We strive for fairness and factual accuracy at all times, and we encourage users to advise us of any significant errors. If we discover a mistake has been made, we will correct it as soon as possible.
