Submission Requirements (Journal Article)
Manuscripts should not exceed 25 double-spaced pages. The size of the page can be either A-4 or 8.5x11 inches. Provide the title, author(s) and affiliation(s) followed by your abstract, suggested keywords, and a brief biographical note. A printout or PDF of the full text of your manuscript should be forwarded to the office of TextRelease. A corresponding MS Word file should either accompany the printed copy or be sent as an attachment by email.
Reference Guidelines:
General
i. All manuscripts should contain references
ii. Standardization should be maintained among the references provided
iii. The more complete and accurate a reference, the more guarantee of an article's content and subsequent review.
Specific
iv. Endnotes are preferred and should be numbered
v. Hyperlinks need the accompanying name of resource and date; a simple URL is not acceptable
vi. If the citation is to a corporate author, the acronym takes precedence
vii. If the document type is known, it should be stated at the close of a citation.
viii. If a citation is revised and refers to an edited and/or abridged work, the original source should also be mentioned.

Review Process
The Journal Editor first reviews each manuscript submitted. If the content is suited for publication and the submission requirements and guidelines complete, then the manuscript is sent to one or more Associate Editors for further review and comment. If the manuscript was previously published and there is no copyright infringement, then the Journal Editor could direct the manuscript straight away to the Technical Editor.
Journal Publication and Article Deposit
Once the journal article has completed the review process, it is scheduled for publication in The Grey Journal. If the Author indicated on the signed Rights Form that a preprint of the article be made available in GreyNet's Archive, then browsing and document delivery are immediately provided. Otherwise, this functionality is only available after the article's formal publication in the journal.
