Detailed Submission Guidelines
Manuscript: | |
---|---|
The manuscript should be structured as follows: | |
• | Cover Page - showing title of the paper, name of author, author's affiliation and institutional address with pin code, email id and an abstract in 200 – 250 words. |
• | Authors names and references should not be used in the text in order to keep authors anonymity (example: 'as the author has written elsewhere' should be avoided). In case there are two or more authors, then corresponding author's name and address details must be clearly specified on the first page itself. |
• | The contributing author(s) should also provide 4 – 5 keywords for online search. |
• | Text should start on a new page, and must not contain the name of the author(s). |
• | All the references should be written at the end of the article/manuscript/paper. |
• | Table(s) and Figure(s) mentioned in the article/manuscript/paper should be provided in editable format and should be referred to in the text by label-number separately (example: Table - 1) and not by placement (example: see Table below). They should each be submitted on a separate page following the article, numbered and arranged as per their references in the text. They will be inserted in the final text as indicated by the author. Source citations with tables and figures are required irrespective of whether or not they require permissions. |
• | Figures, including maps, graphs and drawings, should not be larger than page size. They should be numbered and arranged as per their references in the text. All photographs and scanned images should have a resolution of minimum 300 dpi and 1500 pixels and their format should be TIFF or JPEG. Permissions to reprint should be obtained for copyright protected photographs/images. Even for photographs/images available in the public domain, it should be clearly ascertained whether or not their reproduction requires permission for purposes of publishing. All photographs/scanned images should be provided separately in a folder along with the main article. |
• | Mathematical formulae, methodological details etc. should be given separately as an appendix, unless their mention in the main body of the text becomes essential. |
Language: | |
---|---|
• | For article/manuscript/paper written in English, the language and spellings used should be as per British (U.K.) English, with 's' variant (example: globalisation instead of globalization, labour instead of labor). For non-English and uncommon words and phrases, use italics only for the first time. Meaning of non-English words should be given in parenthesis just after the word when it is used for the first time. |
• | Articles should use non-gender discriminatory and non-racial language. |
• | Spell out numbers from one to ninety nine, 100 and above to remain in figures. However, for exact measurement (example: China's GDP growth rate 9.8 per cent) use numbers. Very large round numbers, especially sums of money, may be expressed by a mixture of numerals and spelled-out numbers (example: India's population 1.2 billion). |
• | Single quotes should be used throughout. Double quote marks are to be used within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text. |
• | Notes should be numbered serially and presented at the end of the article. Notes must contain more than a mere reference. |
• | Use 'per cent' instead of % in the text. In tables, graphs etc, % can be used. Use '20th century', '1990s'. |
• | Only the first word of title and subtitle should start with capitals. Although proper names are capitalised, many words derived from or associated with proper names, as well as the names of significant offices are lowercased. While the names of ethnic, religious and national groups are capitalised (the Muslims, the Gurkhas, the Germans), designations based loosely on colour (black people) and terms denoting socio-economic classes or groups (the middle class, the dalits, the adivasis, the african-american) are lowercased. All caste, tribe and community names (the Santhals, the Jatavs) are to be capitalised but generic terms (the kayasths) are to be lower cased. Civil, military, religious, and professional titles (the president) and institutions (the parliament, the united nations) are to be put in lower case, but names of organisations (the Labour Party, the Students Federation of India) are to be capitalised. The names of political tendencies (the marxists, the socialists) should remain in lower case. |
• | Abbreviations are spelled out at first occurrence. Very common ones (US, GDP, BBC) need not be spelled out. Other commonly used abbreviations (am, pm, cm, kg, ha) can be used in lower case, without spaces. |

References: | |
• | A consolidated listing of all books, articles, essays, thesis and documents referred to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs and maps) should be provided at the end of the article. |
• | Arrangement of references: Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work. In each reference, author's names are inverted (last name first) for all authors (first, second or subsequent ones); give the last name and initials for all authors of a particular work unless the work has more than six authors. |
• | If the work has more than six authors, list the first six authors and then use et al. after the sixth author's name. |
• | Chronological listing: If more than one work by the same author(s) is cited, they should be listed in order by the year of publication, starting with the earliest. |

• | Title case: In references, Journal titles are put in title case (first letter of all words except articles and conjunctions are capitalized – example: Journal of Business Ethics). |
• | Italicize: Book and Journal titles are to be italicized. |
