Formulas and equations must be created in Microsoft Equation or Math Type editors in MS Word. They must be editable; all characters must be clearly identified (upper and lower case letters, other symbols, upper and lower indices, avoidance of confusion, for example, between zero and the letter “o” etc.). All the characters and units in which they are measured should be explained below the formulas. Language All papers are published in English. Language that is inclusive recognizes diversity, demonstrates respect for everyone, is cognizant of individual differences, and advances equal opportunity. Content must be inclusive throughout and should not indicate that one person is better than another based on their age, gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, handicap, or state of health. It should also make no assumptions about the beliefs or convictions of any reader. The use of slang, references to the dominant culture, bias, stereotypes, and/or cultural assumptions should all be avoided by authors. We advise attempting to be gender neutral by using plural nouns (“clinicians, patients/clients”) as a default and avoiding the use of “he, she,” or “he/she” whenever possible. We advise against using descriptors that refer to a person’s age, gender (aside from where it is necessary for the research), race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, or physical or mental health condition unless they are valid and pertinent. These rules are not intended to be exhaustive or conclusive, but rather to serve as a point of reference for identifying acceptable language. File 3. Graphic and illustrative materials In this file, we ask authors to present all the graphical and illustrative materials and formulas given in the main text of the article, in formats that can be edited (for example, Excel).
