Submitting to IJDSJ

Introduction

On this page you will find instructions for authors wishing to submit to this journal.

We ask authors to please read our Journal Ethics Statement and Guidance for Authors documents (under DOWNLOADS below) when preparing their manuscripts and before submitting to the journal. The Guidance for Authors also includes information on journal style.

Both documents have been written by the IJDSJ Executive Committee, assisted by and in consultation with the IJDSJ Editorial Board.

Authors may also wish to read the template Permissions Form, supplied by Pluto Journals (under DOWNLOADS below). When an article is accepted for IJDSJ, authors will be required to sign this form prior to publication. It explains their rights.

IJDSJ will strive to make decisions on submissions within 12 weeks, but should there be delays, authors will be kept informed.

Early-Stage Feedback Option

Would you like some initial feedback on your ideas for an article?

Before or as part of the process of writing their articles, authors are welcome to submit extended abstracts of 500 words maximum to the IJDSJ Editorial Executive for their feedback. These abstracts should be sent to: IJDSJContact@gmail.com

This is not compulsory. Authors are welcome to take up this early-stage feedback opportunity, or not, according to their preference.

Format of abstracts

Would you like some initial feedback on your ideas for an article?

Authors are asked to ensure that the abstract summarises the content and central argument of the proposed article. The IJDSJ Editorial Executive will provide feedback on the likely suitability ('fit') of the topic to the journal and offer constructive and collegiate suggestions for the article's development.
