House-Style Book Manuscript Editing Guidelines

Style: Line spacing for all texts, including cover pages, should be 1.5. Text should be aligned to the right side of the page, with standard margins of 1 inch on all sides (A4). Except for extremely large charts, tables, and figures, all text should be presented in Times New Roman, size=12.

Language: Names, terms, and abbreviations will all be spelled correctly throughout the entire book using British English (British/UK Spelling).

Tables and Figures: The captions for tables should appear at the top, and those for figures should appear at the base. After the caption, you can include the source (Optional). Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals from the first to the last chapter (e.g., Table 1, 2, 3 and Figure 1, 2, 3 etc.).

References: When citing sources within the academic realm, the most recent APA style (see the APA 7th Edition Manual) is preferred unless the editorial board specifically recommends another. Those cited in the text must also be listed in the reference section, while those whose work is not cited in the text need not be included. The reference list must contain both published and unpublished materials. Except for the numbered system of sequential citation, all references should be listed alphabetically.

Back Matter: Various supplementary materials, such as an appendix, glossary, and/or index, as well as a References list, can be tacked on at the end of the book.
