| 1. Papers Papers which appear on Methodological Innovations Online are subject to the usual academic processes of anonymous peer reviewing. Papers written by members of the Editorial Board will be refereed by independent referees. Authors will be encouraged to make use of the opportunities afforded by an on line journal in terms of presentation of results, or illustrations of method or techniques. For example, table rotation, links to other materials and sites, the inclusion of video, sound and other images. Papers, which should not normally exceed 9,000 words, should be submitted electronically, either on disk or by e-mail, in two formats; one in plain ASCII and one in the form of the original program used. Tables, figures, illustrations and references are excluded from the word count. Articles should have been corrected for errors and will be regarded as accurate; authors are responsible for factual content. Two additional documents should be included containing (1) the title, author's name and a biographical note and (2) an abstract not exceeding 300 words and up to ten keywords. Material contained in hyperlinks within an electronic document should also be supplied as separate documents. Intending authors should note that the policy of Methodological Innovations Online is that there is an at least four issue gap in articles published by the same author or joint authors. Where the author of an article published in the journal submits an article jointly with someone who has not published in Methodological Innovations Online in the previous four issues, there will be a gap of at least two issues; thereafter, the four issue rule comes into effect. 2. Early Career Authors Authors early in their academic career are encouraged to submit a synopsis or a draft for an editorial view, before going to full refereeing. When submitting the synopsis/draft via email please inform the editors about your current position (Lecturer, PhD etc), institution and geographical location. Style guidelines Headings should be typed in sentence case and begin from the left margin. Paragraphs should not be indented and a clear line should separate two paragraphs. Dates thus: 25 May, 2005. Single quotation marks only (except for quotes within quotes). Bold, italic and underscore should be formatted as such in the word processed document. Hyperlinks to additional files should be clearly flagged in the text: **LINK "FILENAME": Hyperlink to another document Figures, maps, photographs, video, and sound recordings should be submitted on disk in any standard format. If this is not possible, authors should provide high quality originals in order to allow good electronic reproduction. Gender specific nouns and pronouns should not be used to refer to people of both sexes. The guidelines on sexist, racist and disablist language should be observed. The recommended style for the referencing is: Adler, P. S. (1993) 'Time-and-Motion Regained', Harvard Business Review, January - February, pp. 97 - 107. Corti, L.

When footnotes are necessary, they should appear at the end of the text and before the bibliography, these will be turned into hyperlinks. Only articles referenced in the text should be cited in the bibliography. Where there are two authors, both names should be referenced in the text, thus Zald & McCarthy (1979).
