Important information
• Manuscript should be ‘grammar-checked’ and ‘spell-checked’ throughout, to avoid rejection.
• References or Works Cited must be consistent throughout the manuscript.
• All references mentioned in the Reference or Works Cited list must be cited in the text, and vice versa.
How to prepare a manuscript
Regular Articles should be approximately 10 printed pages long and if possible not exceeding 20 pages. However, appropriate length of a manuscript depends on the information existing in the paper. A manuscript should consist of the following content:
Title
The title should be concise, simple and informative with only the first word capitalized. Author(s) name(s) affiliation(s) and phone number(s) should be spelled out. A list of all authors (with first and last name(s) should be written in full), as well as corresponding addresses, must be provided.
Addresses should enclose all information needed for an effective mail delivery. E-mail should also be provided to allow communication between authors and readers. This information will be published except authors request otherwise.
Abstract
An abstract should accompany each manuscript; it should be completely self-consistent (i.e., with no figure, table, equation or reference citations), not exceeding 300 words and written as a single paragraph. Vague and ambiguous expressions should be avoided, if possible.
Works Cited
Our journal also accepts the Modern Language Association (MLA) documentation style sheet provided the author is consistent. Citations must appear both in the text of you paper (in-text citation) and in the works cited list at the end of your paper.
The list of works cited appears on a separate page at the end of the essay. It is titled (centred, no quotation marks, no underline)
Each entry presents information in a specific order: the author’s name, the title, the publication information. Each citation in a works cited list ends with a period
Our authors should ensure that punctuations are well and thoroughly done. (SEE MLA 8TH ED.)
EXAMPLES:
For book- one author
Adie, Edward. My Way: An Analysis. Sunnytech press, 2019
In-text— (Adie 29)
(SEE MLA 8TH EDITION FOR BOOK EDITED BY ONE OR MANY AUTHORS, BOOKS PUBLISHED BY ORGANIZATIONS LIKE UNITED NATIONS AND OTHERS AS APPLICABLE TO YOUR CITATIONS)
Our journal also accepts the APA documentation style sheet
Main body of the paper
In-text citations should provide the name of the author(s) as well as the year the source was published. These incorporate two vital pieces of information: the author’s name and the year the material was published.
When quoting a print material, citing the page number where the quoted material originally appears should also be included. The page number should follow the year in the in text citation. Page numbers are needed only when content has been directly quoted, not when it has been paraphrased or summarized. For Instance;
Bassey (2008) found that low carbohydrate diets will help subjects with diabetes maintain a healthy weight and control blood sugar levels.
It could appear as thjs when it is directly quoted;
“Low-carbohydrate diets often help subjects with diabetes maintain a healthy weight and control blood sugar levels” (Bassey, 2008, p4).
The parenthetical citation at the end of the sentence includes the author’s name, a comma, the year the source was published and also in case of print issues the page. The period at the end of the sentence comes after the parentheses. However, standard copy-editing corrections are inserted by the Production Staff. For details, see the internationally agreed standards adopted by the International Organization of Standardization (ISO). However, sticking to the following main rules shall hasten the production procedure. Whichever spelling you choose (American or British English) please be consistent throughout. Use hyphens consistently and avoid avoidable ones.
Latin expressions, such as, e.g., i.e., et al., versus (vs.) should be set in italic.
References
It is important to check the accuracy of bibliographic information in references. This has become more important with the on-line version. If your reference citations are incorrect or incomplete (e.g., missing author name, or an incorrect volume number or page), there may be delay in processing your paper.
References that are cited in the paper could be written in the American Psychological Association (APA) format and should be arranged in alphabetical order at the end of the paper. For example:
Books:
Peter, A. (1970) Collective Choice and Social Welfare. San Francisco: Holden-Day.
