Research and publication ethics are paramount considerations for scholars submitting manuscripts to academic journals. Authors are expected to adhere to high ethical standards to ensure the credibility and integrity of the research process and subsequent publication.
Important points:
Obtaining approval for third-party copyright material is a critical aspect of ethical publishing for journals. Authors and publishers need to follow proper procedures to ensure compliance with copyright laws.
Important points:
We advocate for the adoption of transparent research procedures to enhance research consistency. Therefore, we recommend the following:
Before you submit your manuscript, it’s important you read and follow the guidelines below.
Format | It is suggested to provide articles in Microsoft Word format. The paper should be formatted in MS-Word, using a font size of "14" for headings, in bold, and "12" for the body text, all in Times New Roman. Maintain a 1.0 lines spacing for the entire content, ensuring normal spacing and appropriate alignment. Although we do not accept standalone PDFs, you can submit the document in PDF format in addition to the Word version. Please refer to the list below for the acceptable figure file types. The list of acceptable figure file types is shown below. |
Article Length | Articles should not exceed 8000 words in length. This includes all text, for example, the structured abstract, references, all text in tables, and figures and appendices. The paper should be in MS-Word with font “14” & Bold for headings and “12” for the body in Times New Roman with 1.0 lines spacing for the content throughout with Normal Spacing and appropriate alignment. |
Article Title | A concise and clear title should be provided. |
Author Detail |
Author email address (institutional preferred).
Author name. Names will be reproduced exactly, so any middle names and/or initials they want featured must be included. Author affiliation. This should be where they were based when the research for the paper was conducted. In multi-authored papers, it’s important that ALL authors that have made a significant contribution to the paper are listed. Those who have provided support but have not contributed to the research should be featured in an acknowledgements section. You should never include people who have not contributed to the paper or who don’t want to be associated with the research. Read about our research ethics for authorship |
Biographies and acknowledgement | If you want to include these items, save them in a separate Microsoft Word document and upload the file with your submission. Where they are included, a brief professional biography of not more than 100 words should be supplied for each named author. |
Research Funding | Your article must reference all sources of external research funding in the acknowledgements section. You should describe the role of the funder or financial sponsor in the entire research process, from study design to submission. |
Structured Abstract |
All submissions must include a structured abstract, following the
format outlined below. These four sub-headings and their accompanying explanations must include: Purpose Design/methodology/approach Findings Originality If appropriate, the three optional subheadings listed below may be included: Research limitations and implications Implications for practice Social implications The maximum length of your abstract should be 250 words in total, including keywords and article classification (see the sections below). |
Keywords | The submission should contain a maximum of 5 relevant, concise keywords that highlight the main themes of the article. |
Headings | Headings have to be concise and make it clear what structure is needed. The preferred format is for first level headings to be in bold, and subsequent sub-headings to be in medium italics. |
Figures |
Figures should be submitted in high-resolution quality.
All figures must be numbered consecutively according to their appearance in the text. Acceptable formats are .ai, .eps, .jpeg, .bmp, and .tif. Provide clear and concise captions for each figure, placed below the respective figure. All figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and have clear captions. All figure/table captions should include the necessary credit line, acknowledgement, or attribution if you have been given permission to use the figure/table; if the figure/table is the property of the author(s), this should be acknowledged in the caption. Adhere to any specific formatting or style guidelines provided by the journal for figures. |
Tables |
All tables must be numbered consecutively according to their appearance in
the text. Tables should be numbered consecutively in Roman numerals
(e.g. I, II, etc.). Give each table a brief title. Ensure that any superscripts or asterisks are shown next to the relevant items and have explanations displayed as footnotes to the table, figure or plate. |
Citation in text |
Ensure that every reference cited in the text is also included in the reference list, and vice versa. References cited in the abstract must be presented in full. While it's not recommended to include these in the reference list, they may be mentioned in the text. If included, use the standard reference style for the journal and replace the publication date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. When citing a reference as 'in press', it indicates that the item has been accepted for publication. |
Web references |
Provide the full URL and include the date when the reference was last accessed. Include any further known details such as DOI, author names, dates, or reference to a source publication. Web references can be listed separately, perhaps after the reference list, under a distinct heading. Alternatively, they can be integrated into the general reference list. |
Data references |
The journal encourages authors to cite underlying or relevant datasets in their manuscripts. Cite datasets in the manuscript text and include a data reference in the Reference List. Data references should include the following elements: author name(s), dataset title, data repository, version (where available), year, and global persistent identifier. Add "[dataset]" immediately before the data reference to ensure proper identification. Note: The "[dataset]" identifier will not appear in the published article. |
References | All sources cited in the text must be included in the reference list as per APA in-text citation guideline. Authors are requested to follow the APA 7 th style. Example: |
Reference style |
Text: All citations in the text should refer to: 1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication; 2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication; 3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by 'et al.' and the year of publication.
