Author Guidelines

JHSS does not publish more than one single authored; two co-authored; and a single-authored and a co-authored paper by the same author per number.

JHSS follows a variant of APA styles to accommodate the multi-disciplinarian work that the journal features. References must indicate full name(s) of author(s), editor(s), year of publication, city of publication, publisher’s full name, and page numbers; papers published in a latest issue of our journal are a good immediate guide for potential contributors. Manuscripts (not exceeding 7000 words, including ‘Notes’, ‘References’ et al) with an abstract of maximum 250 words, should be composed in MS Word; Times New Roman; and Font Size 12. Figures, tables, graphs (if any) should not be out of the margins of the text of the paper. Quotations in languages other than English must be translated in the body of the paper, and accompanied by the original in the endnotes. The author’s name, title/designation, e-mail and mailing addresses and institutional affiliation should appear on a separate title page. It is also important that you carefully proofread your paper. JHSS will check all submissions for plagiarism. Manuscripts, which do not follow these guidelines, will not be processed for published.
