Author Guidelines

AUTHOR GUIDELINES - ARTICLE PREPARATION

Preface

JSDP will only accept articles that are the author's original work and have not been published before (though conference papers may be an exception). The article must not include any defamatory or illegal content and must not violate anyone's rights. All authors need to confirm that they have read and agree with the content of the submitted article. The publisher may re-evaluate or reject an accepted article if it does not meet the review criteria or is deemed unsuitable. If an author decides to withdraw their article from the review process or from another journal, they must formally do so in writing before resubmitting it elsewhere. JSDP believes in simplifying the submission process to facilitate research scholars.

Manuscript Preparation

An original article would normally consist of 5000-7000 words (excluding figures, tables and references), although high-quality articles which exceed 7000 words will be considered.

All articles must be written in English, using UK spelling and terminology. The text and English language in new and revised articles must be checked, edited and corrected by the authors, preferably with the help of a native English speaker.

Submissions may be formatted in single or double spacing, preferably in Times New Roman size 12 font. All accepted articles will be correctly formatted for publication.

The text of the article should include the following:

• Title
• Abstract (should be factual and precise and less than 250 words. It needs to briefly cover the aim of your research, the methodologies used and what you concluded).
• keywords
• Text (Introduction, literature, methodology, analysis, results, discussions, conclusion, limitations)
• References in APA style (All works cited in the text must be included in the References section at the end of the article)
• Tables, figure must be captioned and follow APA style and placed where they are being discussed in the text
• Include an ethical statement just before the reference section stating that no unethical process has been undertaken during completion of the research article
• Do not include names of authors, their biographical notes or any acknowledgements in the manuscript.

Please make sure that authors' names are not included in the document/file properties.
