Call for Papers: ISQOLS Working Paper Series (WPS) on Quality-of-Life (QOL)
Purpose
The ISQOLS Working Paper Series (WPS) serves as a platform for ISQOLS members to share and read working papers. This initiative aims to foster the rapid exchange of the latest research in the field, advance Quality-of-Life (QOL) concepts and measurements, and enhance the quality of research by receiving valuable feedback from the ISQOLS community and increased visibility of submitted findings.
Procedure after submission
Every submission first undergoes a critical review by our WPS Editorial Chief, Prof. Carol Graham; former ISQOLS President, current ISQOLS Board members, and/or other QOL experts on specific occasions. Authors are expected to receive feedback on their work within one month of the submission date. Upon Prof. Graham’s review and approval, the paper will be officially posted and permanently hosted as a preliminary QOL and highlighted in the E-News newsletter, with a record of download hits.
Submission guidelines
All ISQOLS members are welcome to submit. There are no specific submission deadlines.
Papers should be sent to office@isqols.org with “ISQOLS WPS” in the subject line.
Manuscripts must be a full draft in English.
The submission implies that the author has the right to distribute the manuscript and that it has not been previously published. All co-authors and relevant institutions should approve its release.
ISQOLS is not legally responsible for any compensation claims related to submitted manuscripts.
Authors are encouraged to provide their contact details and remain open to constructive input from the ISQOLS community.
Formatting Requirements
Submit manuscripts in Word (.docx or .doc format).
Use a 10-point Times Roman font for the text.
*Italicize text* for emphasis.
Use automatic page numbering and avoid field functions.
Use tab stops, not the space bar, for indents.
Construct tables using the table function (not spreadsheets).
Use the equation editor or MathType for equations.
By participating in the WPS, authors benefit from constructive feedback that enhances the quality and impact of their research. We look forward to your submissions!
