Publishing• Ensuring accuracy of scientific knowledge.

o Piecemeal publication of data: unnecessary splitting of

the findings from one research effort into multiple

articles.

o Plagiarism.

o Self-plagiarism: present previously published work asnew scholarship.

General Information

•Figures can be used to:o Illustrate complex theoretical formulations.

o Represent a theory graphically through a set of path

models.

o Show the sample flow of subjects through a

randomized experiment.

o Flow of participants in a survey study.

o Illustrate the results of a one-way design with error bars representing precision of the resulting estimates.

o Empirical results from a complex multivariate model.

o Details of an experimental laboratory set-up.56


57/84

Standards

•Simplicity, clarity, continuity and information value.

• Checklist for a good figure:o Augments the text.

o Conveys only essential facts.

o Omits visually distracting detail.

o Is easy to read, its elements are large enough to read.

o Is easy to understand.

o Is consistent with and in the same style as similar figures in the same article.

• Do not forget that:

o Lines are smooth and sharp.o Inside the Figure, sans serif may be used because is simple.

o Elements within the figure are labeled or explained.

Figures

• Legend: Is an integral part of the figure; therefore, it shouldhave the same kind and proportion of lettering that appears inthe rest of the figure. Capitalize major words in the legend.

• Caption: It serves both as an explanation of the figure and asa figure title. After the descriptive phrase, add any informationneeded to clarify the figure including any acknowledgement

that a figure is reproduced from another source. They should be placed below the figure.

Direct Quotation of Sources

• If the quotation has less than 40 words, incorporate it into textand enclose the quotation with double quotation marks.

Hofstede (1991) defined culture as “the collective programming of the mind which distinguishes the members ofone group or category of people from another” (p. 5).

“In designing new products and services, we use the

requirements of domestic customers” (Samson & Terziovski,1999, p. 406).

64


65/84

Direct Quotation of Sources

• If the quotation comprises 40 or more words, display it ina freestanding block of text and omit the quotation marks.Indent the block from the left margin.

Schein (1992) defined culture as the following:

A pattern of shared basic assumptions that the group learned as it

solved its problems of external adaptation and of internal integration,

that has worked well enough to be considered valid and, therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, to think, and

to feel in relation to those problems. (p. 12)

Citing References in Text

• One work by one authoro The surname of the author (do not include suffixes such as Jr.) and the year of

publication are inserted in the text at the appropriate point:

Lagrosen (2003) found that cultural dimensions of uncertainty avoidance

and individualism-collectivism have an influence on the TQM principles.

The cultural dimensions of uncertainty avoidance and individualism-

collectivism have an influence on the TQM principles (Lagrosen, 2003).

In 2003, Lagrosen found that cultural dimensions of uncertainty

avoidance and individualism-collectivism have an influence on the TQM

Principles.

67


68/84


• One work by multiple authors

o When the work has two authors, cite both names every time the

reference occurs in text.

As Sashan and Datta (2005) demostrated......as has been shown (Sashan & Datta, 2005).

o When the work has three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the firsttime the reference occurs; in subsequent citations, include only thesurname of the first author followed by “et al.” and the year if it is thefirst citation of the reference within a paragraph.
