Instructions for Authors - 2012 FACE  publication

 

Peer-review process

All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed with blind title pages to ensure an unbiased review. When revisions are requested, all points raised by the reviewers must be answered by the authors on a separate sheet, returned with their revised manuscript. However, if the authors disagree with specific reviewers' recommendations, authors are free to explain their reasoning when resubmitting their paper.

Categories of decision

 

Preparation of Manuscripts

All papers must be written in English. The manuscript should be typed in 1.5 spacing, with margins of at least 25 mm on each side and paginated. Papers should be approximately 2,500 - 5000 words in length (excluding references) and adhere to the FACE guidelines below.

Submission of a paper is intended to imply that it presents original unpublished work, not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Papers should be submitted electronically in RTF or Word (.doc or .docx) format. All papers should be returned to: Pete Jones at pete.jones@staffs.ac.uk

Title

Titles should be in Sentence case. Abbreviations should not be used in the title.

Author information

Forename, surname and institutional/organisational affiliation of all authors.Email addresses of all authors.

Introduction

The introduction is intended to briefly introduce your subject to the reader. It should provide sufficient background information and context needed by our international readers. Don't assume that readers will understand your national polices and initiatives, briefly spell them out. Briefly reflect on your conclusions.

Subheadings

For the purposes of clarity, up to three clearly differentiated levels of subheading may be used. Good subheadings will guide the reader logically through your paper. The following styles should be used:

Heading 1 - font Garamond, size 13pt, bold
Heading 2 - font Garamond, size 12pt, bold
Heading 3 - font Garamond, size 11pt, bold

Paragraphs

Paragraphs should not be indented and a clear line should separate two paragraphs. The font used should be Garamond size 11pt.

Conclusion

The conclusion should pull together the strands of the paper and suggest and or future areas for reserch.

 

House style and preferences

Use of 'ise' or 'ize' in word endings

FACE adopts the modern and widely-used English version of spelling, as in realise, conceptualise, organise, etc.

Acronyms

Titles that have been shortened into an acronym should be spelt out in full when first mentioned, and should then be used consistently throughout your text as an acronym. For example: "the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) initiated the Aimhigher programme in . . . . This reflects HEFCE's belief that . . . ."

Abbreviations and contractions

The following abbreviations take full stops: cf., e.g., et al., etc., i.e., no.

Contractions such as don't, won't and can't should not be used apart from in reported speech. Ampersands should not be used except in abbreviations, e.g. D&T, G&T.

Proper and common nouns and use of capitalisation

Keep the use of capitalisation to a minimum. Proper nouns are capitalised e.g. The Journal of Higher Education, University of London, etc., but when used as common nouns, lower case is used, eg. the journal published . . . the university's policy is . . . .

When describing people's jobs use lower case, e.g. she is managing editor, he is chairman of the organisation. When listing people's formal titles, the first letters can be capitalised e.g. John Storan, Chairman of FACE; Jill Smith, Managing Editor.

Italics

Use italics for title of books, journals and newspapers, but not for titles of academic papers or articles. Use single quotation marks instead. Italics, not bold, should be used for emphasis.

Numbers and dates

Numbers one to nine should be spelt out in words, after nine in numbers. Try not to begin sentences with numbers but if a number does start a sentence then this should be shown in words. Use a comma for tens or hundreds of thousands e.g. 10,000.

Dates should be written as, e.g. 30 September 2008. Avoid use of the apostrophe in decades, e.g. 1990s not '90s.

Quotations

Use single quotation marks to denote speech in inline quotations. Quotation marks are not necessary for displayed quotations. Displayed quotations should be indented from the surrounding text.

To denote a quotation within a quotation, use double quotation marks in an inline quotation and single ones in a displayed quotation.

Use square parentheses to comment on or add clarity to part of a quotation.

Percentage

Use the term 'per cent' when in the body of the text, and % in figures and diagrams.

Preferred spellings

'Website' - not 'web site' or 'web-site'.
'E-mail' - not 'email' or 'e mail'.
'North, south, east and west' - Unless part of a proper noun, these should be seen in lower case.

Words should be hyphenated according to their dictionary definition. Where there is flexibility, be consistent with the use of particular hyphenations throughout the text.

Non-sexist language

Do not use 'he' when meaning both 'he and she'. Use either (s)he; his/hers or they.

Spacing between sentences

One space should be used between sentences.

Lists

Numbered and bulleted lists should be kept to a minimum. Nested lists should not be used.

'Above' and 'below'

'Above' and 'below' should not be used to refer to places in text. Use 'mentioned earlier' or 'detailed as follows', for example, to refer to these.

Footnotes and endnotes

We discourage the use of footnotes unless absolutely necessary and then these must be shown as endnotes and kept to a minimum. Please consider the reader.

References versus bibliography

At the end of articles, we publish references used in the text, not bibliographies. Authors are responsible for the accuracy of the references. It is important to check that all reference material is shown in full at the end of the article, using the Harvard Style. Please do not use 'et al' in end references but provide all the names of the authors. The use of 'et al' is fine in the body of the text.

References should be relevant and kept to a minimum. Avoid the temptation to include your entire bibliography.
