Author’s Guide

Your manuscript should be submitted using the online form. You need to log in (or sign in to create a new user) to be able to submit a manuscript.

Formatting
The submission should adhere to the following formatting guidelines, including Arial Nova font, 12-point size, and double spacing for both the abstract and main text. Left alignment is required for headings and main text. Tables may use a smaller font size, no less than 9-point, for column titles, body text, and footnotes, while table and figure legends must be in 12-point font. Single line spacing is acceptable for reference lists, headings, tables, and figures. Margins of 2.5 cm are standard on all sides, except for wide tables or figures in landscape orientation, which may have margins of at least 1 cm. Use italicized font and a left-aligned indentation for long quotations (three lines or more). In-text citations and the reference list should adhere to the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition guidelines.
Tables and figures should be organized on separate pages following the reference list in the order of tables first, followed by figures. In the main text, indicate the desired location of the table or figure with a centered placeholder “[Insert Table X/Insert Figure X]”. Table titles should be positioned above the table, aligned to the left, and numbered in the sequence they appear in the main text. Similarly, figure captions should be placed below the figure, left-aligned, and numbered in the order they are referenced in the main text.

Word limits
The word limit for the main text in original articles (e.g., Development work, Research, and Student) is set at 5000 words. However, manuscripts that exceed this limit may be considered at the discretion of the reviewers and editors. For Resource reviews and Letters to the editor, the word limit is 2000 words. Titles should be concise, not exceeding 15 words, and abstracts should be no more than 200 words, including headers. The Acknowledgement section should not have more the 100 words. Additionally, a maximum of five keywords is allowed, excluding words already present in the title.

– For Research articles, use Title, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Aim, Method, Results, Discussion, Methodological discussion, Conclusions, Implications to Occupational Therapy Education, References.
(In the Method section, the preferred subheadings are as follows: “Informants” or “Participants,” “Data Gathering” (for qualitative studies) or “Data Collection” (for quantitative studies), “Data Analysis,” and “Ethical Considerations.” For literature reviews, use headings corresponding to the chosen method’s steps, but make sure to describe ethical considerations. “Positionality” and other additional headings may be added if applicable)
