All materials or references that allow the blind reviewer to identify the author(s) should be completely removed from the abstract and manuscript, and appear only on the title page. Authors should bear in mind that abstracts will be used to publicize the content of their article and should therefore emphasize the value of the article's contribution to learning. Authors should also attempt to make the abstract understandable to both academics and laypersons alike.

Diagrams, graphs and illustrations should be provided in a form suitable for immediate reproduction for publication. The location of the diagrams in the main text of the article should be indicated by an insertion of the type: {table 1.2 near here} etc. In cases where diagrams, graphs and illustrations are based on basic statistics which are not in the public domain, the data should be submitted along with the article.
