- The submission file is in Microsoft Word format.
- All URL addresses in the text (e.g., http://library.rit.edu) are activated and ready to click.
- 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 prepared according to the guidelines set in Author Guidelines (to be published soon).
- The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines
- The text, if submitted to a peer-reviewed section (e.g., Articles), has had the authors’ names removed.
