Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • The text is an anonymized version of your article with authors’ names taken out, including possible references to one’s own texts.

Author Guidelines

Language 

Swedish or English. When writing in English, either American or British English is accepted, as long as it is consistently applied throughout the text. Write clearly, in a formal manner and for a broad audience. Explain concepts and write out acronyms the first time you mention them. We recommend asking a native speaker to proofread your text before submission. 

Anonymization & biography

Provide an anonymized version of your article when first submitting to editor. Make sure authors’ names are taken out, including possible references to one’s own texts. After editing is completed and manuscript approved for publishing, add a biography of 2-3 sentences including affiliation, research interests and email address. Format biography as footnote, as presented in the TABM template. 

References

When used, references should be written following Harvard citation guidelines, as described by the Uppsala University library. Include a reference list at the end of the article, following the format as presented in the TABM template. In-text citation includes surname and year of publication e.g. (Harvard, 2014). If directly quoting include page number e.g. (Harvard, 2014, p.34). 

Footnotes

Except for the author biography, try to work around using footnotes. If necessary, acceptable usage is explanations that would interrupt flow of argument in text, or to signify empirical data.

Keywords 

Include keywords: three to five terms to describe your text. Keywords are in English, even when main text and title are in Swedish.

Peer-reviewed articles

Written report of a scientific study performed within a discipline represented in or affiliated with the Department of ALM. Maximum of 6000 words, excluding abstract, references, keywords and notes. Include an abstract of max 150 words which summarizes the article. Abstracts are in English, even when main text and title are in Swedish. Keep with the structure of a sound scientific article in your discipline. 

Travelogues

Written reports of participation in conferences or other research-related travel, with a relevance to the readers of TABM. Maximum of 3000 words, excluding abstract, references, keywords and notes. Include an abstract of max 150 words which summarizes the article. Abstracts are in English, even when main text and title are in Swedish. References are not required but can be included if needed and appropriate. Include pictures and photographs when appropriate, with the correct attribution. Use the template for description formatting.

Reviews
