Digital submission: Authors must submit papers in digital form.

Submission address: Please submit papers to the Content Management
Coordinator

"Martim Lapa" [log in to unmask]

When sending your paper to Mr. Lapa, please send a copy [Cc:] to the
Content Management Secretary 

"Elisabete Perfeito" [log in to unmask]

Language: Papers must be written in English.

References, format, and style: Use author-year style for referencing.
For guidance on references, format, and style, Wonderground recommends
the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, Fifth
Edition (2001), or Concise Rules of APA Style (2004). 

Useful short guide:

http://www.wooster.edu/psychology/apa-crib.html

Authors may also use the Chicago Manual of Style, Fifteenth Edition
(2003). 

University of Chicago Press offers a free comprehensive web site giving
full information from the Manual:

http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/cmosfaq/tools.html

(Using the web site requires free registration.)

Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who is responsible for
correspondence at all stages of refereeing, registration, and
publication, including post-publication. Provide telephone and fax
numbers (with country and area code) in addition to the e-mail address
and complete postal address. Give full postal addresses for all
co-authors. 

Original material: Wonderground requires material original to the listed
authors. All listed authors must approve publication.

Length: Submissions should normally be within the range up to 6000 words
for full papers plus illustrations and up to 2000 words for working
papers plus illustrations.

Refereeing: Wonderground is committed to a constructive, value-added
review process. A large, international scientific committee ensures
expert review coverage for all fields. All papers are submitted subject
to double-blind review. Since no referee will review more than three
papers, each author may expect careful and reflective comments and
suggestions on papers that need improvement.

Two independent referees from different nations will normally review
papers. Referees may advise the organizers to accept papers without
changes, they may advise to accept papers subject to amendment, or they
may require a new review. Referees may advise to reject papers on
grounds of relevance, content, or quality. 

Detailed instructions on preparing manuscripts and artwork appear below.
The organizers reserve the right to return manuscripts that do not meet
basic, content, format, or quality standards.

Manuscript Requirements:

Structure: Structure manuscripts in this order: Title, Authors,
Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix,
References, Figure Captions, and Tables. Do not import figures into the
text (see Illustrations). Collate acknowledgements in a separate section
at the end of the article. Do not include them on the title page, as a
footnote to the title or otherwise.

Text Layout: Use double spacing and wide (3 cm) margins. (Do not justify
type, i.e., do not use a constant right-hand margin.) Indicate each new
paragraph clearly with a line break separating it from the previous
paragraph. Present tables and figure legends on separate pages at the
end of the manuscript. Number all pages consecutively. Use 12 Point
Times or Times Roman fonts.

Corresponding author: Clearly indicate who is responsible for
correspondence at all stages of refereeing including post-publication.
Provide telephone and fax numbers with country and area code in addition
to the e-mail address and the complete postal address. Full postal
addresses must be given for all co-authors. 

Abstract: Begin the paper with a self-contained abstract of up to 200
words in a single paragraph. The abstract should outline the aims,
scope, and conclusions of the paper.

Keywords: Follow the abstract with a list of up to five keywords that
describe the paper. Select key words from the list of keywords on the
Wonderground web site. Authors may substitute one keyword of their own
choice for a keyword that is not on the list. 

Units: Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the
international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned,
give their equivalent in SI.

Maths: Number consecutively any equations that must be displayed
separately from the text if the text refers explicitly to these
equations.

References: Use the author-year style, where author's name appears in
the text, "As Thomas and Carroll (1979) suggest...", or all in
parentheses where author's names are not cited specifically in text,
e.g. "As some authors suggest (Cross, 1984)..." 

List all references at the end of the text, in alphabetical order by
author. Ensure that all references are complete, including author's
name, date, paper title, journal title, volume and page numbers, or book
title, publisher and place of publication, in the following format: 

Please follows the standards set forth in the Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association, Fifth Edition (2001), or Concise
Rules of APA Style (2004), or use the Chicago Manual of Style, Fifteenth
Edition (2003).

Use no footnotes. 

Tables: Number tables consecutively. Give each table a suitable caption.
Each table should begin on a new page. Use no vertical rules. Tables
should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript (for
example, in graphs). Footnotes to tables should be typed below the table
and should be referred to by superscript lowercase letters. 

Notification: The Content Management Coordinator will notify authors on
the acceptance of their paper.

Copyright: All authors must sign a copyright permission agreement before
papers can be published. This permission agreement enables the Design
Research Society to protect copyrighted material for the authors.
Authors retain proprietary rights. The copyright permission covers the
right to reproduce and distribute papers in connection to Wonderground,
including proceedings, reprints, web distribution, photographic
reproductions, DVD, CD, microfilm, and other media.
