BAYWOOD’S INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

Manuscripts must be word processed or typewritten, double-spaced with one inch margins on 8 ˝ x 11 inch paper.

Tables must be cited in text in numerical sequence starting with Table 1. Each table must have a descriptive title. Footnotes are indicated by superior lower case letters. Tables should be typed on separate pages and their approximate placement indicated within text by inserting: —insert Table 1 here—.

Figures should be referenced in text and appear in numerical sequence starting with Figure 1. Line art must be original drawings in black ink proportionate to our page size, and suitable for photographing. Indicate top and bottom of figure where confusion may exist. Clearly identify all figures. Figures should be drawn on separate pages and their placement within the text indicated by inserting: —insert figure 1 here—.

APA STYLE

Prepare manuscript according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). A synopsis of this manual is available from the American Psychological society.

AUTHORS CAN ALSO USE THE FOLLOWING REFERENCE STYLE

REFERENCE STYLE
In Text—References are to be placed on separate numbered pages at the end of the chapter. A reference is a direction to, or consultation of books, periodicals, proceedings, etc., for information cited within text. When using a direct quote from a title, it is necessary to cite the exact page number [1, p. 5]; it is plagiaristic otherwise. Every reference is indicated numerically with each new reference listed in ascending order (no op. cit. or ibid). When a previously cited reference is used again, it keeps its original reference number. Reference numbers are to be enclosed in brackets, i.e., [1], when more than one [1, 2] or [1-3].

In Listing—A compiled list of references which have been cited in text appear in numerical sequence at the end of the article. No op. cit. or ibid. are allowed. Do not alphabetize.

BIBLIOGRAPHY
A bibliography is an unnumbered, alphabetical list of publications relating to a given subject, author/s, and not necessarily cited within text. Baywood format is an alphabetized list of authors’ last names, followed by a comma and initial/s. The balance of the entry is identical to the reference style above.

FOOTNOTES
Footnotes are notes placed at the foot of the page where cited. They give information or commentary that, though related to the subject under discussion, would interrupt the flow of the narrative/discussion. They should be brief; no more than four lines, and not contain any full references. (Reference items belong at the end of the article.) Footnotes are numbered with superior arabic numbers; no parens or brackets.

COPYRIGHT AGREEMENT
Editors are responsible for all Warranty and Transfer of Copyright Agreement from their contributors. When a paper emanates from or identifies a particular institution, the author/editor is responsible for securing any necessary authorization required by that institution prior to submitting the manuscript. The author/editor is responsible for obtaining written permission of persons who can be identified in the photographs submitted and for obtaining publisher and author permission for the use of copyrighted materials, including illustrations, photographs, and lengthy quotations. A copyright agreement is required by law (Public Law 94-553) which states publishers must receive a signed copyright agreement for all manuscript received.
