On the title page include full names of authors, academic and/or other professional affiliations, and the complete mailing address of the author to who proofs and correspondence should be sent. An e-mail address and phone and fax numbers should also be included. As all manuscripts will be reviewed anonymously, the name(s) of the author(s) should only appear on the title page. ABSTRACT. Each paper should be summarized in an abstract of no more than 150 words. The abstract will preface the paper and should be a comprehensive summary of the paper's content, including the purpose or problem, methods, findings, and implications or applications. It should enable the reader to determine exactly what the paper is about and make an informed decision about whether to read the entire paper. Abbreviations and references to the text should be avoided. All abstracts shall be listed on the Journal of Interpretation Research and National Association for Interpretation Internet web pages. KEYWORDS. Authors must supply five (5) to ten (10) key words or phrases that identify the most important subjects covered by the paper. REFERENCES AND CITATIONS. Include only references to books, articles, and bulletins actually cited in the text. All references must follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), 5th edition. References in the text should cite the author's last name, year of publication, and page (if appropriate). All references used in the text should appear at the end of the typed script in alphabetical order using APA style. Examples of references: McCool, S., & Braithwaite, A. (1992).
