Manuscript Submission Guidelines

All prospectuses and manuscripts must be typed double space, on one side only, on quality white paper with one-inch margins on all sides. For correct punctuation, capitalization, organization of material, usage and the like, we require the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA 5th edition). Particular care must be taken with footnotes and bibliographies. Follow the APA author-date style described in their manual. Authors may download here the provided APA Basics document for general guidelines.

ISLS does not publish dissertations per se; the requirements for an academic dissertation are quite different from that of a press. Consult The Thesis and the Book, edited by Harman and Montagnes (University of Toronto Press, 1976) or Handbook for Academic Authors, Third Edition, by Beth Luey (Cambridge University Press, 1995) if you wish to revise your work.
