General style

All manuscripts should be in English 12 point font, double line spaced and submitted in MS Word or a compatible software file.

You will be required to submit two documents
Author Contact Details / Biographies

This should include:

  • the title of the article
  • a short running title of no more than 40 characters (including spaces);
  • the author(s)’ names and affiliations;
  • a short biography of no more than 100 words for each author;
  • contact details (including email address) for the corresponding author.

Please note that your submission will not be accepted without this file.

Article

This should include:

  • the title of the article;
  • an unstructured abstract of no more than 150 words;
  • 3-6 keywords that describe your paper for indexing and for web searches in your manuscript;
  • the full article text, including references (see formatting instructions below).

Please make sure that this file does not contain any information identifying the author(s). Also, please take care to create a title and an abstract that are direct and ‘reader-friendly’.

Notes

Do not use footnotes. Keep endnotes to a minimum. Indicate endnotes with superscript numbers, and type the notes between the end of the article and the beginning of the references. Do not use the foot/endnote macro in MS Word as this data is lost in the production process.

References in the text

The whole citation should follow the Harvard style, enclosed within parentheses (author surname, year) if not a natural part of the surrounding sentence; the year should be enclosed within parentheses if the names do form a natural part of the surrounding sentence. Citations of works by two authors should have ‘and’ (not an ampersand) between the names. Citations of works by three or more authors should have the first author followed by et al in italics with no trailing stop.

Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be identified with a, b, c (e.g. 2008a, 2008b) closed up to the year.

Personal communications should be listed as such where they are cited in the text, and not listed in the references.

Example:

Since Paterson (1983) has shown that… This is in results attained later (Kramer, 1984). Results have been reported (Don Graham, 1989, personal communication).
Articles not yet published should show ‘forthcoming’ in place of the year (in both the reference and the citation). ‘In press’ should be used in place of the volume, issue and page range details.

Example:

Sharp Parker, A.M. (forthcoming) Cyberterrorism: An examination of the preparedness of the North Carolina local law enforcement. Security Journal, in press.
