Authors Guidelines

Submitted manuscripts must not have been published previously, moreover submission to the conference will be deemed to imply that the manuscript will not be submitted elsewhere if accepted.

General Requirements:

All manuscripts should be written only in English.

All manuscripts should be sent as an upload in .doc or .docx format (such as Microsoft Word). We do not accept PDF submissions.

Articles should be approximately 5,000-7,000 words in length and should not exceed 10 pages excluding references. While we understand some papers must be longer, if a paper (except for data and instructions) is longer than the aforementioned length it may be rejected without review. They should be written as continuous expository narrative in a chapter or article style—not as lists of points or a PowerPoint presentation.

Please remember that the articles are to be published in IBTSS conference proceedings that will be submitted for SCOPUS indexing. This means that the style and structure of your text should be relatively formal. For instance, you should not submit a verbatim transcript of your oral presentation, such as ‘Today I want to speak to you about …’.

Article submissions must contain no more than 30% of textual material published in other places by the same author or authors, and these other places must be acknowledged and cited; in other words, the remaining 70% of the article must be unique and original to your current submission.

Authors must ensure the accuracy of citations, quotations, diagrams, tables and maps.

Articles must have a minimum of fifteen scholarly references.

Spelling can vary according to national usage, but should be internally consistent.

Articles should be thoroughly checked and proofread before submission, both by the author and a critical editorial friend. After you have submitted your article you are unable to make any changes to it during the refereeing process, although if accepted, you will have a chance to make minor revisions after refereeing and before the final submission of your article.

Articles will be assessed by referees (double blind peer review) against nine criteria or fewer, if some criteria do not apply to a particular kind of article.

An article should comprise of the title, authors, affiliation of authors, a sufficiently informative abstract of about 150-200 words, Keywords, and Introduction of the paper.

Authors must retain a copy of every contribution, as these will not be sent along with the proofs to be corrected by the authors.
