Author details

The names of all contributing authors should be added to the OJS (Open Journal Systems) submission; please list them in the order in which you would like them to be published. Each contributing author will need their own OJS (Open Journal Systems) author account, from which we will extract the following details:

• Author email address (institutional preferred).
• Author name. We will reproduce it exactly, so any middle names and initials they want to be featured must be included.
• Author affiliation. This should be where they were based when the research for the paper was conducted.

In multi-authored papers, ALL authors that have made a significant contribution to the paper must be listed. Those who have provided support but have not contributed to the research should be featured in an acknowledgments section. You should never include people who have not contributed to the paper or do not want to be associated with the research.

If there is no funding information, they should state: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.
