Author Guidelines

Free Format

This journal offers free format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process.

Before you submit, you will need:

  • Your manuscript: this can be a single file including text, figures, and tables, or separate files – whichever you prefer. All required sections should be contained in your manuscript, including the abstract, introduction, methods, results, and conclusions. Figures and tables should have legends. References may be submitted in any style or format, as long as it is consistent throughout the manuscript. If the manuscript, figures, or tables are difficult for you to read, they will also be difficult for the editors and reviewers. If your manuscript is difficult to read, the editorial office may send it back to you for revision. APA style requirements (e.g., double spacing, tables and figures added in the end; references) are recommended to ease readability.
  • The reviews and decision letters associated with your manuscript (i.e., received from the prior journal) should be attached as "supplementary documents for review." 

Important: the journal operates a double-blind peer review policy. Please anonymise your manuscript and prepare a separate title page containing author details.

  • Your co-author details, including affiliation and email address. (We need to keep all co-authors informed of the outcome of the peer review process.)
  • An ORCID ID, freely available at https://orcid.org. (Your article, if accepted and published, will be attached to your ORCID profile. Institutions and funders are increasingly requiring authors to have ORCID IDs.)

To submit, log in here and create a new submission. Follow the submission steps as required and submit the manuscript.

If you are invited to revise your manuscript, the journal will also request the revised manuscript to be formatted according to journal requirements as described below.

This journal does not charge submission fees.

Manuscripts can be uploaded either as a single document (containing the main text, tables and figures), or with figures and tables provided as separate files. The main manuscript file can be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) or LaTex (.tex) format. We do not limit on manuscript pages. Revised manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the format prescribed by the American Psychological Association (APA Publication Manual). For details see the Publication Manual of the APA.

NOTE: In order to process submissions efficiently, authors are advised to submit with their institutional email addresses where applicable.

Anonymous reviews: All manuscripts, unless stated otherwise, will be refereed anonymously. To ensure the double-blind review process, authors need to remove all author-identifying information from the paper and remove any versions of the manuscript from publicly accessible websites.

By submitting a manuscript to or reviewing for this publication, your name, email address, and affiliation, and other contact details the publication might require, will be used for the regular operations of the publication, including, when necessary, sharing with the publisher (OJS) and partners for production and publication. The publication and the publisher recognize the importance of protecting the personal information collected from users in the operation of these services, and have practices in place to ensure that steps are taken to maintain the security, integrity, and privacy of the personal data collected and processed here.
