ABSTRACT

100 words max. Begin your copy here. Indent the first sentence of each paragraph with 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) and align text left. Single space within each paragraph; double space between paragraphs. Do not number the pages but make sure the pages are in the correct order. Pages will be numbered by the editors. Authors must use “Times New Roman”, font size 10.
 
Key Words: identify and list key words (maximum of 6) which represent the content of your paper. 
 
INTRODUCTION
The paper title, author names (full names only; titles, e.g. Assistant Professor and degrees, e.g. Ph.D. should not be included), and authors’ names and affiliations must be flushed to the right as shown above. 
 
BODY
The paper must be written in the third person and all submissions must be in English and authors should seek to use straightforward declarative sentences, making every effort to help the reader understand the concepts presented.
 
Note: Your entire paper must not exceed 11 pages in total, this is a firm limit. 
 
TABLES AND FIGURES
These must appear within the text (not at the end of the text). Tables and figures should be numbered sequentially – e.g. Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, etc., and they should bear a title (with appropriate upper and lower case letters) which explains their contents. 
 
APPENDICES
If any – should appear at the end of the article after the list of references. 
 
REFERENCES
 In text references are cited using the author/date style following the APA Publication Manual, e.g. for single authors (Haig, 2002) or multiple authors (Butler and Lambert, 2000; Walker et al. 2004).
 
Direct citations should always be placed in the text and followed by the exact reference and page number. For example “the French trade and industry ministers ... announced new financing to develop Web sites that will encourage exports and to help small and medium-sized companies participate online” (Johnson 1998:213).
 
The reference list, placed at the end of the text, must be single-spaced in alphabetical order of authors and 10 point font size. A referenced article should contain all authors’ names, title of article, name of publication, volume and number, inclusive page numbers and year of publication. Note the use of italics rather than underlining. A referenced book should list author name(s), title of the book, publisher, place of publication, year of publication.
