Guidelines for Article Contributions

Methods of Article Contributions

All article contributions should be submitted as email attachments to Shixing Wen, Editor-in-Chief (shixingwen@yahoo.com).

Article Length

In contrast with the traditional print journal, our e-journal does not impose limitation to the article length. In other words, authors do not need to confine their thought to an arbitrary limitation of a fixed number of pages.

Reference Style

Chinese Librarianship: an International Electronic Journal (CLIEJ) adopts the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association for its reference style, with the following modifications:

1. spell out the full name of the author, rather than using the initial letter for the first or given name;
2. separate authors with semi-color, rather than comma, if there are more than two authors.
