Abstract
Authors are asked to take account of the diverse audience of the journal. Please avoid the use of terms that might be meaningful only to a local or national audience, or provide a clear explanation where this is unavoidable. However, papers that reflect the particularities of a social and cultural system are acceptable. Some specific points on style follow: 1. ‘US ’ is preferred to ‘American’, ‘USA ’ to ‘United States’, and ‘UK ’ to ‘United Kingdom’. 2. Conservative British, not US, spelling is preferred: colour not color; behaviour (behavioural) not behavior (behavioral); [school] programme not program; [he] practises not practices; centre not center; organization not organisation; analyse not analyze; etc. 3. Single quotation marks rather than double are used unless the ‘quotation is "within" another’. 4. Punctuation should follow the British style, e.g. ‘quotation marks precede punctuation’. 5. Punctuation of common abbreviations should adhere to the following conventions: ‘e.g.’; ‘i.e.’; ‘cf.’. Note that such abbreviations should not generally be followed by a comma or a (double) point/period.
