Submissions must follow all protocol outlined for the periodical and applicants should understand that the publication does receive a number of submittals and reserves the right to decline submissions that are not matching the quality or content objectives of issues in planning.

• All articles must be submitted in APA style using Microsoft Word.
• We recommend maintaining a third person voice.
• Please proofread all materials before submitting and do not use a double space after a period.
• Maximum word count for feature type stories is 1,200 to 1,500. Any exceptions to this must be approved before submission with the editors. Do not include images or figures inside the document.
  
• Images must be emailed separately. Articles should include cutlines that are correspondingly numbered to each image. No more than three images per article, please.
• All accompany images and figures must be guaranteed royalty free and be of the highest resolution possible. We suggest a minimum of 8 mega-pixels, but prefer 18. All images and figures must be sent separately as a jpeg, jpg, or png, not within the Word document. Email images using the same naming convention of the article, but include the cutline number separated by a hyphen: 1, 2, and 3 at the of the file name. Example: smith-leadership-styles-of-01-15-18-1.
• All in-text links need to be added as comments in the word document. So the comment should be over the word the link should be associated with.
• Limit the use of bold or italics in text to a max of three. This does not include the reference section or section headers.
• If using scare quotes use quotation marks and not single quotes, as required in APA.
• Each submission must be a separate word document.
• Do not double space after periods.
• Do not offset new paragraphs or the reference section, all paragraphs and references should sit flush with the margin of the word document.
• Save article name using author last name, underscore, the first three words of the proposed title, underscore, and the six digit date of the preceding publication quarterly deadline, for example: Smith_LeadershipStylesOf_01-15-18
