Manuscripts should be double spaced with 1-inch margins and numbered pages. A 100-150 word abstract must be included as the first page of the manuscript. Please exclude all references to authorship. Manuscripts (including notes and references) should not exceed 25 pages. Artwork, tables, and links to online material may also be submitted for review as supplementary file(s).

It is authors' responsibility to obtain copyright permission to use any copyrighted materials such as poetry, photography, figures, or tables.

Manuscripts submitted to JCT will undergo an initial internal review. Those judged as having potential for publication will be externally reviewed. Manuscripts that do not follow these specifications or that are not accompanied by an explanatory note detailing why they do not follow these guidelines will not be considered for publication.

Manuscripts accepted for publication are subject to non-substantive editing.
