Guidelines for Resubmission 

Format your final version in this manner:

General Requirements

• Chapter File Label: lastname_NeurodiversityAL_final

• Chapter Length: Please do not exceed 7,000 words (including references).

• Font: Times New Roman

• Size: 12 points

• Spacing: Single space

• Include Line breaks between paragraphs and avoid indents at the start of a paragraph

• Headings - 

  • We recommend using Microsoft Word’s style gallery to indicate different levels of headings (i.e. Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3).

  • Ensure headings are consistently and clearly differentiated through formatting, for example:

    • Heading level 1

    • Subheading level 2

    • Subheading level 3

• Orthographic conventions - United States spellings 

• References

• Use APA 7th edition. Thus, DOIs should be in the reference list.

• References, notes, and bibliographies or reference lists are included in the agreed word count (7000 words or less).

In addition to submitting the final version of your chapter in Microsoft Word or a compatible editable file (not PDF, please), which should include a title and authors’ names, please submit a separate Word document that includes all of these required elements (in their final version - even if you submitted during version 2):

Title

Abstract 100/200 words

  • Self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or incomplete references

Updated Biography 40/50 words
