§ In-text citations must not be left incomplete, if found, may lead to rejection. Similarly, submissions without ‘Works Cited’ will not be accepted.
§ An abstract of around 200-400 words along with Keywords must accompany the submission.
§ Submissions with typographical and grammatical errors will be evaluated in an overview of the paper/article before the blind peer-review process, and if found in excess, shall be returned to the author(s) or rejected – the discretion of the Editorial Board is final in this regard.
