Accordingly, all contributors are expected to adhere to the guidelines provided in the style sheets on this website. The editors are authorized to return to authors immediately all papers that do not conform to the standards of formatting and writing required. All such returned manuscripts that are not corrected and resubmitted to the editors within 10 days will be excluded from American Contributions.
