Guidelines Table of Contents  Guidelines for Conference Papers, APA-Central SPSE sessions Guidelines for News Articles and All Other Publications Guidelines for Conference Papers, APA-Central SPSE sessions Length: Max. 40 pages. Minimum 2 pages. Paper should not be longer than what one would expect is a presentable conference paper (i.e., no longer than, say, an average book chapter, or max 40 pages). You may submit paper as short as 2 pages long. Font size: Between 10 and 12. Address: Please submit your paper to Alexander Makedon, Editor, The Roundtable, at: MakedonA@aol.com as an email attachment. Format: Please send your paper as an .rtf file, if possible (if you know how to do this), otherwise as .doc file. If it is easier for you, you may also copy and paste your paper within the body of your email (instead of, as an email attachment). Style: It is up to the author to decide which style of referencing sources he or she would like to use, or whether to have footnotes or endnotes, or both, so long as referencing style is one of the acceptable academic styles, and remains consistent throughout the paper. Referencing: To faciliate the conversion of an author's paper to a web document, it is preferable, although by no means required, that authors (a) use available wordprocessing software, preferably MS Word, to write their papers in electronic format; and (b) number their  footnote or endnote references using the reference insertion function of their software, than inserting them manually (such as, manually inserting footnote or endnote reference numbers). If authors insert references manually, it becomes very time consuming to convert them one by one to web format by hand. In such cases, there is a strong possibility that such papers may have no hypetext reference links when posted on the web site (readers would have to scroll down to read footnote or endnote references, instead of clicking on the reference number to be automatically taken back and forth between text and reference). Timeline: The Editorial Board does not begin to review submissions until after the April conference each year, and will only consider papers for publication submitted by presenters who actually presented their work at the SPSE sessions. Deadline for submission of papers: June 15 of that year. Authors will be notified of the decision of editorial review board by August 15 of the same year. All decisions are final. If editorial board asks author to revise his or her paper, it will offer specific recommendations for such revision. All revisions are due by September 15 of the same year. Rationale: Please click here for further background information regarding the history and original rationale for The Roundtable. All policies regarding The Roundtable may change without notice, depending on decisions taken by Society, or its representatives. Such policies will be made available on the SPSE web site as soon as possible. Guidelines for News Articles and All Other Publications News Items: News items should be submitted to  either Allan Johnston or Guillemette Johnston, News Editors, either embedded in email message, or as email attachments. Email: ajohnst2@depaul.edu, gjohnsto@depaul.edu Font size: Between 10 and 12. Format: Please send your news item or publication either embedded as text in your message (instead of, as an email attachment); or as an email attachment as an .rtf file, if possible (if you know how to do this), otherwise as .doc file. Style: Item-specific or none, just make sure  that if you are sending text , it is readable with correct grammar and spelling. If you are sending any other digital document (photos, and the like), please make sure they are designed in a form that can be easily opened with available software. Photographs: No photograph(s) of any person, or similar images that are not in the public domain, will be published without the express permission by such person to do so (usually, by signing a release document). Unsubstantiated Claims: All news items should be news-worthy, published at the discretion of the Editorial Board, pre-approved by the SPSE Executive Board where necessary, and of academic interest to the membership. No unsubtantiated or irrelevant claims or information will be published. Timeline: The News Editorial Board reviews submissions on a first come-first served basis. Some news items may have to be cleared by the SPSE Executive Board, depending on their claims or content, prior to publication. If editorial board asks author to revise his or her submission, it will offer specific recommendations for such revision.
