AUTHOR GUIDELINES
Word Limit
AURUM JSS accepts the following formats and limits:
• Research articles of 5.000-10.000 words (including abstract, notes and references) that adhere to our format, aims and scope. The editor may change the word limit if it is deemed necessary.
• Book reviews of approximately 2,000 words.
Formatting the manuscript
Manuscripts should be submitted in Times New Roman size 12. The main text and footnotes should both be double-spaced and left-aligned. AURUM JSS uses both footnotes and a reference list. It is not the responsibility of the editors to convert your citation style. If you do not follow these guidelines you will be asked to reformat your paper prior to editing and this may cause publication delays.

(Wegener & Petty, 1994)
A Work by Three or More Authors
(Kernis et al., 1993)
Kernis et al. (1993) suggest...
In et al., et should not be followed by a period. Only "al" should be followed by a period.
If you’re citing multiple works with similar groups of authors, and the shortened “et al” citation form of each source would be the same, you’ll need to avoid ambiguity by writing out more names. If you cited works with these authors:
Jones, Smith, Liu, Huang, and Kim (2020)
Jones, Smith, Ruiz, Wang, and Stanton (2020)
They would be cited in-text as follows to avoid ambiguity:
(Jones, Smith, Liu, et al., 2020)
(Jones, Smith, Ruiz, et al., 2020)
Since et al. is plural, it should always be a substitute for more than one name. In the case that et al. would stand in for just one author, write the author’s name instead.
Unknown Author
If the work does not have an author, cite the source by its title in the signal phrase or use the first word or two in the parentheses. Titles of books and reports are italicized; titles of articles, chapters, and web pages are in quotation marks. APA style calls for capitalizing important words in titles when they are written in the text (but not when they are written in reference lists).
A similar study was done of students learning to format research papers ("Using Citations," 2001).

Quotations and Citations
a. Formatting Quotations
For quoted material of less than three lines or ~40 words, AURUM JSS uses double quotes. Quotes within quotes are enclosed in single quotation marks. The footnote number comes after the closed quotation marks.
La Baronne Durand De Fontmagne, who lived in Istanbul during and after the Crimean War, writes that “Turks adore children and when they do not have their own, they willingly adopt an ‘enfant l’âme'.”33
For quoted material of more than three lines or ~40 words, format it as a block quote inset by a tab space without any quotation marks. Quotes within block quotes are enclosed in double quotation marks. The footnote number comes after the period in the final sentence.
b. Footnotes
Footnotes should be used only where substantive information is conveyed to the reader. Literature references should normally not necessitate separate notes (see the section on References). However, non-standard references (e.g. to press conferences, political statements, hearings, interviews, etc.) are best provided as notes.
Figures
a. Images: Digital files of images should be of the maximum size and resolution possible, with a minimum resolution of 200 dpi, and are to be provided as separate files. Authors are responsible for acquiring their own image permissions.
b. Graphs, Charts, Tables: Graphs, charts and tables are to be provided in a separate, editable document (either word processor or spreadsheet). Authors are responsible for acquiring permission to use datasets and for the accuracy of the data they use.
c. Placement and captions: The preferred location of all figures should be indicated in the main text. A full caption and any source citation / permission should be provided beneath the location of each figure.
