Stylistic Rules

Abstract: Each manuscript must include an abstract, which should be no longer than 130 words.
Footnotes should be indicated by superscript numerals at the appropriate places, in consecutive numbering. We discourage the excessive use of footnotes.

Glossary: If terminology specific to a science or field other than conscientiology is used, a glossary must be provided at the end of the text.

Illustrations should not be wider than 10 cm. All illustrations, charts, maps, equations, and photographs should be provided by the author in a CorelDraw compatible format, with quality suitable for reproduction.

Manuscript should be preferably in English. The JofC encourages submission of articles in the following categories: research reports; cultural and behavioral observations; theoretical or conceptual statements; cross scientific studies; book reviews; interviews; comments on conferences; biographical studies that would illustrate, refute, or contribute to conscientiological research; personal accounts of OBEs or related phenomena that would offer a significant conclusion to validate or debate projectiological concepts; papers expressing philosophic, scientific, or historical perspective on the study of the consciousness or the OBE.

References: Every contribution should credit the researcher(s) or author(s) from whom an idea has been taken. References should be included by author (date) or (author, date). A single bibliography at the end should be compiled alphabetically and enumerated, observing the format below. All references that appear in the text should be included in the reference section. When a bibliography has more than one author, all names should be cited in alphabetical order and linked by an ampersand.

Size and Style: Articles should not normally exceed 6,000 words (including footnotes). The title page should bear the title of the paper and the name(s) of the author(s), followed by the abstract. Unless it is very short, the paper should be organized into sections.
