APA Guidelines for References
APA Guidelines for References
Papers are to follow the APA style for
formatting references. A summary of these guidelines can be
found
here.
All works cited within the paper must be included in the
References list at the end of the paper, and all works in
the References list must be cited in the paper.
Format for Original Submission
Format for Original Submission
Submissions are to be in Microsoft Word
(.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf). Since all submitted
manuscripts are subject to blind review (authors don't know
the reviewers and reviewers don't know the authors), you
must remove any identifying information (name, affiliation,
etc.) from the paper prior to submission. Information
regarding authors is collected by the system on the
manuscript submission form.
If you use Microsoft Word, take off
your identifying information from the file properties by
clicking: File → Properties and deleting all identifying
information.
While there are no strict format
guidelines for original submissions, it is helpful to look
at the format for accepted papers when preparing your paper
for submission. All papers are to be written in English.
While US spelling is preferable, other versions of English
are acceptable. If you have questions on English grammar,
please consult a source such as
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/
There are no regulations on length;
however will be exceptional for an article to exceed 20,000
words. The system will not accept submissions larger than 2
Megabytes. If it is larger, reduce the resolution of photos
and screen images to 96 dpi. .
The submission system will assign an ID
number to your paper and you will create a password. You
need to remember these as you will need them to upload
revisions of your paper.

Process for Review and Revisions
Process for Review and Revisions
After an Editor or Associate Editor
(AE) determines that the topic of the manuscript fits within
the journal's purview, the AE will conduct a blind review of
the paper using three or more reviewers selected from the
journal's Board of Reviewers. Commonly, these reviewers are
selected so as to assure variety of opinions from around the
globe.
After the reviewers have submitted
their comments you will be contacted by an editor or AE
regarding acceptance, provisional acceptance, or rejection
of a manuscript. Almost all accepted papers require one or
more rounds of revision. You will upload your revised papers
using the same Paper ID number and password as for your
original submission but selecting “Re-upload.”

Format for Accepted Papers
Format for Accepted Papers
When your paper is accepted for
publication, you will be required to re-submit the final,
formatted copy of your paper. The formatting guidelines for
accepted papers can be found
here. Since this document is a MS Word
template, if you save it to your computer as a template and
attach it to your paper (using Tools → Templates and
Add-ins) you will have the correct formatting for the
paragraphs. If you do not use MS Word, just print the
document and follow its instructions.
Because the contents of a paper may
shift during formatting, make figures so they can be moved
and/or resized easily. As explained in the detailed
guidelines, this can best be done by placing figures with
multiple parts within a text box.
In addition to adding the name,
affiliation, city, and country for each author at the
beginning of the paper, end the paper with a Biography
section that contains a brief paragraph or two about each
author. Please insert a head-and-shoulders photo of the
author beside the biographical information.
Formatted, accepted papers will be sent
to the Informing Science publisher who will do the final
formatting and quality control.
Articles appear on-line as soon as the
final formatting is completed and in print annually.
