Notes for Authors submitting their work to IJCACJ
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyright material from other sources where necessary. Please check that references to people and organizations are accurate and are not libelous as the IJCACJ is not responsible for any mistake, nor for the consequences that may arise from it.
The manuscript specifications listed below must be followed for articles to be published in IJCACJ. All of these requirements contribute to an orderly journal production process. Accordingly, these are mandatory standards rather than optional or suggested guidelines.
Please follow the guidelines in preparing your manuscripts:
- Manuscripts should be in English, double-spaced, and should be about 25 to 35 pages, inclusive of tables, appendices and figures.
- The page limit will be waived depending on the nature of the topic. We do however, reserve the right to deny publication of submissions because of excessive length.
- Margins should be one inch on all sides.
- The preferred font is Times New Roman and 12 point size.
- The title page should include the title and names of author(s) that include their academic ranks/titles, organization/academic affiliations, mailing address, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses.
- On a separate sheet include biographical information on each author.
- Abstract should be listed on a separate sheet and not exceed 150 words. If the abstract is not clear the editorial Do not place tables, figures and charts in the text, but attach them in consecutive order at the end of the manuscript.
- Do not insert tables and figures in the text. List all tables and figures at the end of the document. Identify the appropriate place in the text for tables and figures with a notation: Table 1 about here.
- All illustrations and figures must be camera ready and large enough for reproduction.
- Endnotes can be used for substantive comments that may not belong in the main text.
