Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Changes to authorship

Before uploading their work, authors are encouraged to thoroughly evaluate the list and order of authors. They are also asked to submit the final list of contributors at the time of the initial submission to NICE Research Journal. Only before the manuscript has been accepted and with the journal editor's approval should author names be added, removed, or rearranged in the authorship list. The corresponding author must provide the Editor with the following information in order to propose such a change: (a) the rationale behind the author list modification, and (b) documented verification (letter, email) from each author indicating their consent to the addition, deletion, or reorganization. When an author is added or removed, this also provides the author's verification of the change.
