Notes <\/strong>\u2013 keep notes to a minimum. Use footnotes, not endnotes.<\/p>\n

Quotations<\/strong> \u2013 use single quotation marks for material quoted in the text. Double quotation marks can be used for quotes within quotes. Long quotations (40 words or more) should be displayed \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0indented (if you are using the template, use the Style named \u2018Quote\u2019). Shorter quotes may be retained within the text.<\/p>\n

Tables and figures<\/strong> \u2013 keep tables and figures to a minimum, and include them within the main text (not in separate files). Place table headings above tables and figure captions below figures. Use sentence case for captions.<\/p>\n

Copyright <\/strong>\u2013 you are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of quotations and references. You must get permission to quote from or reproduce copyright material in your article before submitting your paper. Include any acknowledgements at the end of the paper before the notes, or, in the case of tables and figures, in the accompanying caption.<\/p>\n

References and citations<\/strong> \u2013 include your references on a new page at the end of the article. We use the 6th\u00a0 edition of the Manchester Metropolitan University Harvard reference system. Details and examples of all citation and reference types are available here: https:\/\/libguides.mmu.ac.uk\/refguide\/mmuharvard<\/a>. Examples of the most common types are provided below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Citations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within the text, cite the name of the author and date of publication (Smith, 2001), and, following quoted material, the page reference (Smith, 2001:90).<\/p>\n

Use \u2018et al.\u2019 for three or more authors. (Do not use italics for \u2018et al.\u2019)<\/p>\n

For multiple citations in the same brackets, order them oldest to newest, separated by a semi-colon (Burrows et al., 2009; Beck, 2014)<\/p>\n

For multiple citations published in the same year, order them alphabetically (Beck, 2014; Inala, 2014)<\/p>\n

(For more on citations, see https:\/\/libguides.mmu.ac.uk\/c.php?g=281251&p=1875092<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reference list<\/strong><\/p>\n

Include a full alphabetically ordered list of references (headed References) at the end of the article, after any notes. The reference list must include every work cited in the text with dates, spellings and titles being consistent. Two or more works by an author in the same year should be distinguished by using 2000a, 2000b, etc. Where there is more than one author of a text or article, each author\u2019s name should be included in the reference list: do not use \u2018et al.\u2019 The date in each citation must match the date of each corresponding entry in the reference list.<\/p>\n

References in the Reference list should conform to the following style (for more examples, see https:\/\/libguides.mmu.ac.uk\/refguide\/mmuharvard<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Style guidelines<\/h4>\n

Abbreviations<\/strong> \u2013 spell out all abbreviations the first time they appear, using the full name. Use full points after abbreviations such as e.g., i.e., etc., and where the end of a word is cut as in p. (page), or ed. (editor), but do not use them in acronyms such as HMSO, HMIP, UK.<\/p>\n

Biased language <\/strong>\u2013 do not use sexist or racist language; use inclusive language.<\/p>\n

Capital letters <\/strong>\u2013 keep capital letters to a minimum: use sentence case for all headings, and do not capitalise job titles or names of theories, models, compass points and so on.<\/p>\n

Date format <\/strong>\u2013 use the format 1 January 2019.<\/p>\n

Italics<\/strong> \u2013 use italics for foreign words not assimilated into English, titles of books, journals, films and works of art, and for emphasis. Do not use italics for titles of articles.<\/p>\n

Numbers <\/strong>\u2013 in general, spell out numbers one to nine; use figures for 10 and above. Always use words for approximations (about a thousand) and centuries (the twentieth century). Always use figures for people\u2019s ages (16- to 18-year-olds), units of measure (5 cm) and dates (13 March).<\/p>\n

Person <\/strong>\u2013 use the first or second person (\u2018I\u2019 and \u2018we\u2019) or the third person (\u2018the authors\u2019) when referring to your methods, findings, etc., but please be consistent.<\/p>\n

Spacing<\/strong> \u2013 Use single spaces after full points, commas, colons and semicolons, quotation marks etc.<\/p>\n

Spelling <\/strong>\u2013 please use UK English. We accept \u2018-ise\u2019 or \u2018-ize\u2019 verb endings (both are correct in UK English) but they must be consistent throughout.<\/p>\n
