Submission guidelines
Call for articles, papers, interviews and technical contributions that present the technical, tactical, philosophical, educational or more general football and soccer interest of coaching, learning or playing
Article criteria;
· Articles submitted should not number more than 3,000 words (inclusive of headlines, headers, streamers, diagram notes and biography), although ideally 2,000-2,500 is ample, as once edited and amended will make a sizeable article
· Article should be written and saved in English (United Kingdom) language
· Font should be common type, such as Arial, Times New Roman, with size 12pt, and paragraph setting to Line spacing 1.5
· Headings and sub-heading could be in bold to distinguish sections and page numbers could also be added (optional)
· Use single quotation marks for quoting passages (as commentary, answers and narrative as in interviews), but use double quotation marks for quotes and citation that feature within the passages
· Use acronyms/abbreviations only after using the full version in the first instance, therefore Federation International de Football Association (FIFA), then use acronym/abbreviation from there on in
· Headline, headers, streamers and titles 'could' be suggested by author from text or relevant to it
Suggested structure;
· Headline,
· Introduction and/or About Subject or Person,
· Main text, Diagrams and accompanying text
· Conclusion,
· Biography (about author and subjects) and References
Additional information
· Authors should also note that article content should be relative to the article size, and therefore should not over elaborate on wordage
· Photographs should be of a good quality (high resolution), with relevant tags and accreditation
· Diagrams, figures and session plans should be submitted in a useable format; MySoccerExercises.com is an excellent tool for that purpose
· Quotes and citation must be referenced within text (author, publication year and page), and full reference provided in Bibliography (both using Harvard system for referencing – resources on internet)
