Author Guidelines

The following guidelines for prospective authors apply:

  1. Each manuscript should begin with 200-250 words abstract of its content.
  2. Articles should be approximately 6000 words long; however, both shorter and longer manuscripts will be considered.
  3. Articles could be based on either conceptual or empirical research findings.
  4. Manuscripts should be submitted for consideration by email attachment; Microsoft Word is preferred.
  5. Citations should be provided using in-text citation following the author-date format.
  6. Unless otherwise indicated earlier, abbreviations should be avoided. Titles of journals should be written out in full.
  7. References must follow the APA 7th Edition format, with a minimum of 20 references (75% journal articles and 25% books or other sources). Reference management tools such as Zotero, EndNote, or Mendeley are recommended. Each manuscript will be checked for similarity using Turnitin, with a maximum allowable similarity level of 25%. Examples of references are provided in the journal template.
  8. All article manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by qualified academics in the field; this is a process that may take weeks or months.
  9. Manuscripts may be edited for style prior to publication.
  10. Authors should be willing to respond to questions from readers of their articles.
