When you submit a manuscript to JCA we will take it to imply that the manuscript has not already been published or submitted elsewhere.

You may not submit your manuscript elsewhere while it is under consideration at JCA.

Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.
