Article Submission Rules
The author(s) that would like to submit a manuscript, he/she/they should follow
the following guidelines:
First, the manuscript should be written in a clear and correct English. In the short history of our journal, we have received some valuable submissions which however required time-consuming language editing by our editorial team. Hence, please take the time to ensure that your text is submitted in clear and correct English. While our editors can do a certain amount of language editing, it is unrealistic to expect that linguistically substandard submissions could be completely overhauled.
In our continuing effort to promote new knowledge and ensure a smoother submission process, we encourage authors to use available language editing support services (either from professional, user-pay editing services, or the services of colleagues and friends of the authors) before submission, if so needed.
Professional, user-pay editing services are available from other sources, such as: http://www.prof-editing.com/index.php?site=OUP . IJSF does not endorse any such service; we are simply mentioning this as an example of services available. Use of any such service on your own does not guarantee that your manuscript will be accepted for publication, but it should enhance the chances of its timely consideration.
Submissions considered difficult to read and interpret because of language problems might not be considered by the Editors.
Second, the submitted manuscript should be made in in two formats: a) A4 page
with double-spaced typescript, not exceeding 10,000 words (including notes and
references), and b) IJSF default page (download it at www.ijsf.org) with
single-spaced typescript, not exceeding 10,000 words (including notes and
references), where both files are written in (Word) .doc or (preferred) .rtf
files. If the total pages exceed this maximum preferred length, the author
should write first to the Editors with its reasons.
Third, the manuscript should fit with IJSF Author Guidelines [1]. To avoid instant rejection, please read it carefully and make some necessary adjustments before you submit it.
Finally, along with the manuscript, the author should send the filled Statement Form [2].
