About

The Appendix is where copyright permissions, IRB Letters, and supplementary, informational, and/or illustrative materials that are too lengthy for inclusion in the main body are placed. The material within the appendix does not have to meet the double spacing and font requirements, but must be formatted within the 1" margins, and must be legible.

Reprints of published articles can be compiled within the Appendices though this is not recommended. It is preferred that the previously published chapters be formatted within the manuscript. No matter where the reprint is placed copyright permission must be included.

The Appendices should be the final section of the manuscript (unless you choose to include an About the Author page). 
Each appendix subsection or appendix chapter (depending on how you choose to structure the Appendices) must be listed using numbers, or letters, in a consistent style, such as:

  • Appendix I: Title, Appendix II: Title, Appendix III: Title

  • Appendix 1 Title, Appendix 2 Title, Appendix 3 Title

  • Appendix A: Title, Appendix B: Title, Appendix C: Title

Further, each appendix chapter or subsection must have a title, and each must be listed in the Table of Contents.

NOTE: Make sure all personal information (personal addresses, emails, and phone numbers) is redacted from the material. Work addresses, emails and phone numbers may remain as they are publicly accessible.
