Author Guideline

left-sideThe authors are requested to download the sample template from our website's left side menu bar. Please follow the schedule below to prepare the manuscript. 

The language of the manuscript must be in English. Special case if any scholar wants to a published paper by own national language then he/she have to send a one-note which will reflect the required documents for publishing the article through their national language.

The length of the paper should not exceed 25 pages. Paper containing more than 25 pages of words will be returned to the author(s) to abridge. Articles should be typed in double-space (including footnotes and references) on one side of the paper only (preferably A4) with wide margins.

The title page should include the following information:

The title should be concise and informative. Try to avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.

Please indicate the given name and family name clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and,  the e-mail address.

Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing, publication and also post-publication. Ensure that telephone numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the Email address and the complete postal address.

If the research is sponsored or supported by an organization, please mention it.

A concise and factual abstract is required (maximum length of 150 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should, therefore, be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.

Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 8 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (Please avoid- for example, 'and', 'of').

Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1, 2. (then 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2), 1.2, etc. The abstract is not included in section numbering.

Present tables and figures at the end of the article or in line with the text. Please note that the article will be published in black and white.

Author(s) should follow the latest edition of APA style in referencing. Please visit APA Style website to learn more about APA style.

Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Avoid citations in the abstract. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list but may be mentioned in the text. Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for publication.

References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.
