Submission Guidelines

All submissions should be sent via email to omj@palgrave.com. Submit your manuscript as a Word attachment. In the body of your email message, please include:

• Name(s) and affiliations of all authors
• Title of manuscript
• Section to which the manuscript is being submitted
• 100-150 word abstract

Where revision of a manuscript has been requested by a section editor, author(s) should follow the above procedures and indicate the revised status of the manuscript.

All contributions must be written in English. Submissions may not have been published, nor currently under review, by another publication. Translations of work published in languages other than English will be considered. Articles that have been presented at conferences and that may have appeared in conference proceedings may be submitted to OMJ for possible journal publication.

Charges

There are no page or submission charges.

Review Process

The Editor-in-Chief assigns all submitted papers to a Section Co-Editor. Guided by the reviewers' recommendations, the section Co-Editor then decides whether the paper should be accepted as is, revised, or rejected. In the case of accepted papers, following the revision process, the Co-Editor returns the final copy of the paper to the Editor-in-Chief.

Manuscript Length and Format

While an electronic journal circumvents some of the restrictions of print publication in terms of page limits and article length, authors are strongly encouraged to edit their work for excessive wordiness or length. Articles submitted for review should be typed in Times-Roman font in 12-point pitch, and the entire manuscript should be double-spaced. References should follow the guidelines shown below. Headings, tables, and figures should follow APA guidelines (available at www.apastyle.org). Avoid the use of endnotes as much as possible and do not include footnotes, headers or footers. Submit documents in Word format.

Authors whose manuscript is accepted for publication will be provided with additional formatting requirements.

References

Do not use footnotes. Keep endnotes to a minimum. Indicate endnotes with superscript numbers, and type the notes between the end of the article and the beginning of the references. Do not use the foot/endnote macro in MS Word as this data is lost in the production process.

The APA style of referencing entails citations within the text in (name, date) format, and a full alphabetical bibliography at the end of the text. In the case of direct quotations, the page number should follow the date in parentheses. List last name of author or editor first, followed by initials. List all authors/editors of a particular publication up to/including 10 names. If you refer to two or more publications by the same author that have been published in the same year, distinguish between them by using a, b, c, and so on: (Clarke, 2003a, 2003b). Authors of articles and books without specific authors or editors, such as government documents, bulletins, or newspapers, are to be listed alphabetically.

Please note the following:

Quoting references in the text:
In A Cyborg Manifesto Haraway wrote that 'the need for unity of people trying to resist world-wide intensification of domination has never been more acute' (Haraway, 1991, p. 154).

A long direct quote (~more than 40 words)
Haraway argues:

Acknowledging the agency of the world in knowledge makes room for some unsettling possibilities, including a sense of the world's independent sense of humour. Such a sense of humour is not comfortable for humanists and others committed to the world as resource (Haraway, 1991, p. 199).
