General Guidelines for Authors
Manuscripts should be typed in a 12-point font. They must be double spaced (including references, appendices, tables, and figures). As reviewers often prefer to write notes on the manuscript, authors should use one inch (2.54 centimeters) margins. Every page in the manuscript should contain a short running head and the page number. This information should be right justified. Pages should measure 8.5 by 11 inches. Manuscript length should be limited to 50 pages inclusive of references, appendices, tables and figures.
The principle divisions of the manuscript should appear in the following order: body of the article, references, footnotes, tables, figures, and appendices. The body of the article begins immediately on page 1. The title of the paper should appear at the top of this first page. It should be centered, bold-faced, and in all capital letters. Number all pages, including those with references, appendices, tables, and figures. Group these, in the order just given, on separate pages at the end of the article. The manuscript (body, references, footnotes, table, figures and appendices) will be uploaded to the Journal of Management as a single document called “main document” during the electronic submission process.
Place each table or figure on a separate page. Double-space all text. Number tables and figures consecutively (one series for tables, one for figures) from the beginning to the end of the article. Indicate the position of each in the text as follows:
