Top of pageGeneral guidelines
Authors should not seek to use the Journal as a vehicle for marketing any specific product or service.
Authors should avoid the use of language or slang which is not in keeping with the professional and academic style of the Journal.
Titles of organisations etc. should be written out first in full and thereafter in initials.
Authors must ensure that references to named people and/or organisations are accurate, not racist or sexist and without libellous implications.
Top of pageReferences
References in the text
The citations should follow the Vancouver system, marked by a superscript number, closed up to the preceding text, but outside any punctuation that is part of the surrounding sentence. Pairs of citations should be separated with an unspaced comma, thus,1,2 and ranges of citations with an en rule, thus.3–5
Personal communications should be listed as such where they are cited in the text, and not listed in the references.
Example:
Results have been reported (Don Graham, 1989, personal communication).
Articles not yet published should show ‘forthcoming’ in place of the year (in both the reference and the citation). ‘In press’ should be used in place of the volume, issue and page range details.
- Sharp Parker, A.M. (forthcoming) Cyberterrorism: An examination of the preparedness of the North Carolina local law enforcement. Security Journal, in press.

List of References
References are placed in a consecutive numerical list at the end of the paper. The sequence follows the order of first-citation in the text. References cited only in tables or captions are placed in the sequence according to the first reference in the text to that table or figure. When a work is cited more than once, the number of the original reference should be repeated (not new numbers generating extra items in the reference list cross-referring back to the original).
