Guide for Authors

Preparing Files
ToKnowPress accepts text files in Microsoft Word and LaTeX format. The text should be in a single file, including front matter, bibliography, and other apparatus. Tables should be incorporated into the text, while graphs should be in separate Excel files.

For multiauthor books each chapter should be in a single file, including text, tables, and bibliography. Graphs should be in separate Excel files.

Manuscript Formatting
Use no formatting that is not essential to your manuscript. Paper size should be A4. Margins should be set for a 25 mm top, bottom, left, and right. The point size should be 12 and the font should be Times New Roman. Italics should be used for emphasis  and bold for headings. Chapters and sections should be numbered, e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1, 2, 2.1, etc.

Documentation
The documentation should be in the Chicago Manual of Style (University of Chicago Press 2017) or in the APA format (American Psychological Association, 2020) but the same system should be used consistently throughout the whole manuscript. Editors of multiauthor books should make sure that all the authors follow the same style.

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the author(s).
