Author Guidelines

Authors must use the APA referencing style (7th edition) for their papers.

Poorly formatted references will not be accepted.

Authors must anonymise their papers before submission as IJHSS follows a double-blind peer review process.

The paper must be at least 5000 words and not more than 8000 words. References are included in the word count. 

On submission, all papers are submitted to a plagiarism service in order to determine the similarity score. Based on the score, different actions are undertaken. If it is too high (above 25%), the paper is rejected. If it is less than that, the authors may be given an opportunity to revise the paper and re-submit it. The final paper (published version) should not have a similarity score greater than 15% and not more than 5% from any specific sources. At IJHSS, we take plagiarism issues very seriously.

 

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.

  1. 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).
  2. The submission file is in Microsoft Word 2007 or more recent versions.
  3. Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  4. 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.
  5. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
  6. Your published article will be licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.
