Forfatterinstruks

Authors must closely follow the guidelines and avoid other formatting than that which has been specified.

Pictures, figures, tables, endnotes and the bibliography should be presented in the manuscript file in the way in which the author wants them to appear. If additional tools are used to generate references, tables or figures (such as EndNote or Excel), the elements to be included must be made as simple and stable as possible.

Article requirements:

• 500–1000 word abstract in English if the article is written in Norwegian.

• 5–8 keywords in English.

• Page size A4.

• Font Verdana.

• Follow the APA 6 style http://library.uws.edu.au/uws_library/guides/referencing-citation?arg=1&p=ast .

• Notes should be footnotes, not endnotes.

• Short quotes should be included in the main body of the text with quotation marks. Quotes that exceed two line shifts should be indented; this means that there must be an extra line shift both before and after the quote, and the text must be indented, without quotation marks.

• Emphasis in the main body of the text must be made using italics, except for hyperlinks, which are automatically underlined.

• The following font sizes and forms of emphasis:

Heading 1: 16 pt, bold

Heading 2: 12 pt, bold

Heading 3: 10.5 pt, bold

Keywords: 10pt, normal

Abstract: 10pt, italics
