IJMES ENDNOTES GUIDELINES
Notes must be numbered consecutively throughout the text, typed double-spaced in paragraph style, and grouped together as a unit following the text. Footnotes at the bottom of the text page are not permitted.
Any acknowledgment of grant support, substantial assistance, and so forth should be typed as an Author’s Note above the first note in the final draft. (This information should not be included in the initial manuscript submission, since we follow a double-blind review process.)
Foreign titles in Roman alphabets (French, German, etc.) should be capitalized as they would be in that particular language. All titles in non-Roman alphabets (Arabic, Cyrillic, etc.) must be transliterated and should follow English-language capitalization standards. An English translation of nonstandard language titles may be provided in parentheses after the title, at the author’s discretion.
Internet citations must include a full URL and an accessed date
Cities of publication should include the country or U.S. state, using the traditional U.S. postal abbreviation (e.g., "Calif." not "CA") except for very major cities.
IJMES does not publish bibliographies.
