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.

• 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).
• The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• 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.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

• Please send your articles or reviews as word or txt format to: EDITOR@IJACC.ORG
• There is no deadline for the submission of an article – a paper to be considered for publication is welcome any time! – Nor are there strict guidelines with respect to the extent.
• A standard article usually has about 8.000 - 10.000 words and must include a brief (200 words or less) abstract and a short note (50 words or less) with author's full name, title, current affiliation, E-Mail address, and a brief description of recent work.
• Spelling and grammar are to follow either American or British convention but consistently throughout the text.
• Double inverted commas ( “xx”) should strictly be used for quotations only, meaning that every use of double inverted commas does ask for a detailed reference.
• Quotations from non-English source materials must be accompanied by their original in the citation.
• Archival citations should be as brief as possible, yet consistent. The identity and location of each archive must be fully spelled out when mentioned for the first time.
• A full bibliography must be supplied separately, first (Christian) names to be written out (!!).
• Citations (full bibliographical details to be supplied) and notes must be formatted as footnotes and numbered consecutively throughout the text. No author/date method.

As there is no way to restitute a certain internet page at a certain date, indicating the date of accessing is irrelevant. It goes without saying that all URL-links are valid links at the date of publication.
