Other stylistic guidelines:

·         We make some effort to avoid language that might appear sexist. We have no formula for how to do this, though it is our experience that such appearances can often be avoided by pluralization of the nouns that will later be referred to using pronouns.

·         Although Criminal Justice Ethics does not observe strict limits on the length of articles that it will publish, articles whose body text exceeds 8,000 words will be scrutinized for ways in which they might be expressed more economically.

·         Any acknowledgments are to be included as an unnumbered note at the beginning of the endnotes.

·         Except where other works are quoted, we will generally observe the conventions of American English.

·         Please ensure the sufficiency and accuracy of all references. If you are unsure, more information is better than less.

Copyright

In the event that members of the Editorial Board (comprising the Editors and Editorial Associates) wish to submit an article for possible publication in Criminal Justice Ethics, the following procedures shall be adopted:

(1) The author(s) will submit a copy of the MS to the Managing Editor, who will ensure that an anonymized version is allocated for review by a member of the Editorial Board (other than the author) who will obtain at least two reviews (which may include one from the Board member).

(2) Prior to its allocation for review, the Managing Editor will ensure that authorial identifying data have been removed from the paper.

(3) The author(s) will not be involved at any stage of the review and/or editorial process until after a final decision on publication has been made.

(4) In the event of a “revise and resubmit” decision, the Managing Editor will be the sole possessor of authorial identifying information.
