Information
for Potential Authors
Submission
Guidelines
The
purpose of the quarterly REPORT is to address the growing
interest in information, news, research summaries, and
practice tipsabout conflict management in higher education.
The REPORT publishes a range of feature articles designed
to appeal to a broad audience within higher education
that includes campus mediators and problem-solvers,
ombuds, campus administrators, student affairs and human
resource personnel, campus conflict resolution trainers,
students interested in conflict studies, and faculty
teaching or doing research in the area. In
additional to the main feature articles, regular features
include announcements and reviews of relevant books
and teaching or training resources, sample training
roleplay scripts or case studies, news, upcoming events
in the field, and abstracts of past and current relevant
articles from the periodicals.
Readers expect our features to be informative, thought-provoking
articles written in an accessible way. The goal is for
those interested in but not necessarily familiar with
the specific topic to be able to easily grasp the key
issues without wading through jargon or overly technical
material. Because campus conflict management is essentially
an applied area, information about innovations or lessons
from practice are also appreciated.
We welcome contributions from colleagues, and suggest
that you consult with the editor regarding the appropriateness
and timeliness of your potential topic prior to investing
significant time writing it up.
If you would like to contribute to this newsletter please

Presentation
and Submission
One
copy to be sent as an e-mail attachment or on a cd to the Editor. (The electronic version should be
saved as a Microsoft Word file or as a plain ASCII text
file.)
Please
use the same base font and point size throughout the
article. Do not center titles, subtitles or section
headings. Do not use underline, boldface, or any other
special font or point-size.
The
lead paragraph (approx. 50 words) should inspire further
reading. Make it interesting!
At the end of the article please identify the author
in one or two lines. Include: title, institutional affiliation,
academic or area speciality, and (if you wish) an e-mail
address.
If
you wish to include a 'side-bar' (for references, etc.)
please place the text at the end of the article, with
the word [side-bar] in square brackets. Mark it clearly
on the hard copy as well!
If
used, images and screen grabs will eventually need to
be converted to JPEG or GIF files to be used on the
web. The editor can usually also work with TIFF or EPS
files as well. For further information and advice contact
the Editor.

References

then listed at the end of the article in the order in
