Body Text:
1. Sections
1.1. The main text should have several sections. 
1.2. The first section should be “Introduction”. The last section should be “Conclusions”.
1.3. The use of notes is discouraged, and limited to no more than three. See the “Notes” section below.
1.4. References are cited in-text according to the APA 7th Edition formatting. See the “References” section below.

2. Figures and Other Inserts
2.1. All figures should include titles with serial numbers (e.g., Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc.) and be referenced in the main text for positioning and context. 
2.2. All figures should include an image credit and a descriptive caption.
2.3. Please send figures as separate files from the completed text and with a resolution of at least 300 dpi.
2.4. Keep tables as simple as possible, with single horizontal lines above and below column headings and a third horizontal line at the bottom of the table; do not use vertical rules for separating the columns or for table borders. 
2.5. The table caption should appear at the top of the table.
2.6. If you want to highlight or confine some information separately you can use a “Box”. Keep boxes as simple as possible, with a single line for the borders.
2.7. Visit our website and consult other CAPjournal issues for additional guidance: https://www.capjournal.org/issues/index.php 

3. Additional Information
3.1. Authors are solely responsible for their work. 
3.2. Please ensure that your paper contains all of its final content and is ready for publication upon submission. Please include appropriate references, even for your own previously published texts. Failure to do so may result in rejection from the journal.
3.3 All manuscripts must be written and submitted in British English.  
3.4. The main text should be written in a single column, in 11 pt font, using either Courier New or Arial. Section titles should be in Bold.
3.5. For in-text direct quotations, follow the APA format. 
3.5.1. Short quotations should use the following example as a guide: Blumenthal (2022) wrote, “there are specific guidelines to follow when quoting from another article, be sure to check the APA format” (p. 4). One could equivalently write: Blumenthal (2022) cited “specific guidelines to follow when quoting from another article” (p. 4). The following is also correct: She reminded readers “to check the APA format” (Blumenthal, 2022, p. 4). 
3.5.2. Long quotations are formatted differently. For example: In a 2022 study, Blumenthal wrote:
The CAP Journal has started to use the APA format for all quotes and citations. This makes the Journal more uniform, ensuring readers know the source for all pieces of information. This is a welcome change for the CAP Journal. (pp. 4-5)
3.5.3. For all quotes, a complete reference should appear in the “References” section.
3.6 For more guidance on the APA format, see this website: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/general_format.html

4. Plagiarism
Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in an immediate rejection. To avoid this, please make sure your work is cited in the proper format (APA). Additionally, please note that it is not appropriate to use previously published text without a citation, even if you are the author. If you would like to reuse already published ideas, please make sure the text in your submission is sufficiently distinct from the previously published text. Your submitted article will be checked for plagiarism using commercial software.

Notes:
“Notes” contain additional information that cannot be included or is not appropriate as a formal reference, such as website links or explanatory comments. These should be used sparingly (at most three per article). Notes should appear as *1, *2, etc. in text and should be fully expanded on here in the following manner:
*1 Name of organisation: link to a website
*2 Further information relevant to the text

References:
Reference listings for all cited works should be made in the appropriate APA 7th Edition format. Please ensure that your references are listed in alphabetical order. We provide an example below:  Bookfirst, A. A. (2020). Book chapter name. In A. A. Oneed, B. B. Twoed, & C. C. Threeed (Eds.), Italicized title of book: Subtitle of book (4th ed., pp. 115–129). Publisher.
First, A. A., Second, B. B., & Third, C. C. (2015). Title of the article. Italicized Name of Journal, Vol(Issue), 1–2.

Please refer to the APA Style Manual (found at this website https://apastyle.apa.org/) for further reference in formatting. Editors will check formatting and may request more information during revisions.
