Notes

Full-length research articles should include specific elements in a defined order, not exceeding 25 pages, with the option to move appendices to supplemental online material. Supplemental materials can include various formats such as videos or datasets and are published via Figshare. There are conflicting guidelines regarding figure submission, requiring both APA formatting and separate file submissions, which should be clarified with the journal before submission.

Full-length research articles should be written with the following elements in the following order: title page; abstract;

keywords; main text introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion; acknowledgments; declaration of interest

statement; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages); figures; figure captions (as

a list).

Though exceptions can be made for methodologically complex studies, it is suggested that full-length articles not exceed 25

pages, including abstract, references, tables, and figures.

Please consider moving the appendix information to Supplemental online material.

Supplemental material can be a video, dataset, fileset, sound file or anything which supports (and is pertinent to) your paper.

Journal publishes supplemental material online via Figshare. Find out more about supplemental material and how to submit

it with your article.

There are conflicting guidelines provided for figures by this journal.

It requires the figures to be formatted as per APA guidelines, where the figures are provided in the
end of the manuscript, after references.

However, it also states, “Figures should be saved separately from the text.”; “Figures should be
high quality (1200 dpi for line art, 600 dpi for grayscale and 300 dpi for color, at the correct size).
Figures should be supplied in one of our preferred file formats: EPS, PS, JPEG, TIFF, or Microsoft
Word (DOC or DOCX) files are acceptable for figures that have been drawn in Word. For information
relating to other file types, please consult our Submission of electronic artwork document.”

Hence, I have retained the figures in the end of the manuscript as per APA-7 and also provided a
copy in separate files to ease with submission as per journal requirement. Please confirm with the
journal regarding this discrepancy before submission and submit accordingly.
