Submission Preparation

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Instructions for Writers

The author confirms that the article has not been previously published, and has not transferred any rights to the article elsewhere.

The author must ensure the authenticity of the work and properly cite the work of others according to the reference format. The author may not commit plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Authors should ensure that they follow the authorship criteria taken from the Journal General Education (GERDU) described in the instructions for authors.

Authors may not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time.

The author does not publish redundant manuscripts describing the same research in more than one journal.

Writing should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, implementation or interpretation of the reported study.

Others who have made significant contributions must be listed as co-authors.

The author ensures that all authors have seen and approved the submitted version of the manuscript and the inclusion of their names as co-authors.

The author does not suggest any personal information that can make a client's identity identifiable in the form of any description section, photo or genealogy.

The author must provide data and work details to the editor, if there is any suspicion of falsification or falsification of data.

If at any time, the author finds significant errors or inaccuracies in the submitted manuscript, the errors or inaccuracies must be reported to the editor.

Where an author is prevented from being the copyright holder, minor variations may be required.
