Submitted manuscripts are subject to peer review at the discretion of the Editorial Office. In order to maintain anonymity during any refereeing process, authors are requested to refrain from, or keep to a minimum, self-referencing. There are no page charges in Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning. Length: Articles should generally range from 5000 to 6000 words in length. Layout: Only the first page of the paper should bear the title, the name(s) of the author(s) and the address (including fax, email and telephone number) to which correspondence should be sent. A brief biographical statement of the author(s) should be included on a separate sheet. In order to enable ‘blind' refereeing, after the title page, indications of the author's identity should be avoided as much as possible within the text. Abstract: Each article should be accompanied by an abstract of about 150 words typed on a separate sheet. Abstracts should also include the title of the article. No reference should appear in the abstract. Headings: Where necessary, the structure of the article should be made clear by sub-headings. The author should indicate in the margin against each sub-heading its rank in the structure Footnotes: to the text should be kept to an absolute minimum. They should be typed on a separate sheet at the end of the article, numbered 1, 2 etc. and the text reference indicated by the corresponding superscript number. Quotations: of 40 words or more from other works and other matter requiring separation from the text should be clearly indicated and typed as a hanging indent (no quotation marks). Always state authors, date and page number. Tables: should be numbered with Arabic numerals and should carry a descriptive title. Vertical rules will be removed. Figures: should be 15x22cm, created at a minimum of 300dpi and stored as a TIFF image. Non-Discriminatory Text: Be alert to all forms of bias (e.g., sexist, racist). Ensure that writing does not emphasise bias. Beware of treating groups as oddities, exceptional cases and of stereotyping References: should be indicated in the text by giving the author(s) name, with year of publication in parentheses. When quoting state author(s), year and page number. Authors are responsible for obtaining and supplying with the manuscript written permissions to quote or use material from copyright sources.
