Author Guidelines

General guidelines for publishing

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 who do not adhere to these guidelines.

Style 

All submissions should follow a consistent referencing style and we recommend APA style. The submission file should be in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.  Any supplemental files should be in Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format or Excel format. Please do not upload PDF files unless they accompany LaTeX files. This template is available for use.

Te Reo Māori

He Rourou encourages authors to integrate te reo Māori into their texts thoughtfully. Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori guidelines is a helpful resource to support Māori language orthography. He Pātaka Kupu and The Māori Dictionary are also excellent resources for correct spelling and information which will support learning for authors and readers.

The following guidelines are applicable when using kupu Māori. 

  1. Provide the English translation in brackets the first time the word is used and then only in te reo Māori for the remainder of the article.
  2. A Glossary is only necessary for out of the ordinary kupu or when further research is required. For example, newly created digi tech terms or newly translated terms which you wouldn't yet find in a dictionary.
  3. Optional links to papakupu and resources for the readers (these may be included in the publication by the EIC, rather than individual articles).
Contact information 

Supply complete contact information for all authors: Name, affiliation, complete street address, email address, and phone number. Indicate the corresponding author. During the editing process, you will also be asked to share a high-resolution profile picture and a short biography.
