InterAction publishes research papers in the area of SF work in organisations. There may also be one paper per edition on other applications of SF. Papers should be submitted in the APA-5 style of formatting and referencing. They should be original work and not have appeared in other printed publications. Articles should normally be between 1,500 and 3,500 words in length. Shorter submissions may be considered for inclusion. Longer articles may be accepted at the discretion of the editors. Submissions should be received at least three months prior to publication (i.e. August for November, and February for May).
Spelling should be anglicised, with -ise endings and English spelling of words such as honour, colour and so on. Solution focus, solutions focus, Solution-Focus etc. should all be abbreviated to SF, similarly the miracle
question, Miracle Question, etc. MQ. If in doubt, don't capitalise. Each submission should be accompanied by a short biographical note for each author of one or two sentences.
The process for acceptance of a peer-reviewed article is as follows:
- the author(s) send in an article for review by February for the May issue and August for the November issue
- they receive feedback on whether the article is generally suitable for the journal or not
- if the article is suitable, it is checked for APA-6 compliance. If the article is not in APA-6 format, it is returned to the author(s) who re-format the article within a week.
- after a suitably formatted article has been received, it is sent to two peer reveiwers. Submissions will be peer reviewed by members of the editorial board and/or members of the editorial advisory board.
- if the paper is accepted for publication by the reviewers, revisions will be sent back to the author who will produce the final version of the text for publication.
- the author(s) should also include a short text on what was amended in the second version of the texts in reaction to the comments of the reviewers
Apart from peer-reviewed articles, we also welcome book reviews, case studies and opinion pieces.
Books, DVDs or materials for review should be sent to the Editor, SFCT.
