Style Guide
General Instructions
When preparing a manuscript, please double-space on one side only, leave generous
margins, avoid right-hand justification, and number pages consecutively. Two
copies of the manuscript are sufficient. If a computer disk is available, please
enclose it. Include your name, affiliation, address (which will be printed with
your article), and phone number. On a separate sheet of paper, provide a biographical
statement of 75 words or fewer.
Content
All submissions must deal with some aspect of information ethics. Scholarship
does not have to be mind-numbing, tedious, or pedantic; try to create stimulating,
controversial and enticing pieces.
Style
This is a scholarly journal. Therefore, develop paragraphs fully; use neither
contractions nor first or second person pronouns; avoid repetition, jargon, sexist
language and awkward syntactical constructions; do use a limited number of
succinct headings and subheadings; and underline or italicize when required. Carefully
honed, mellifluous prose is as important as substantive content. A good way to
achieve these objectives is to show the manuscript to a colleague whose writing
you respect. All accepted material is subject to editorial emendation.
Documentation
Use current APA (American Psychological Association) style. Do not number references.
Avoid footnotes. Follow the style manual carefully; attend to the details of order,
punctuation, inversions, upper and lower cases, and the precise method of parenthetical
documentation.
