Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors confirm that their submission meets the following requirements. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines may be returned to the authors.

- The submission has not been published before and is not currently under review by another journal (or an explanation is given in Comments to the Editor).

- The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF format.

- Where available, URLs and DOIs for the references have been included.

- The text is single-spaced; uses Cambria 11 pt for body text; uses italics rather than underlining (except for URLs); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points rather than at the end.

- The text follows the style and bibliographic requirements set out in the Author Guidelines.

- Author identity is entered only in the OJS metadata, not in the main manuscript file, to preserve double-blind review.

- AI use (if any) has been disclosed in line with the Artificial Intelligence Policy.
