Manuscripts must be submitted in PDF format electronically via our online system at the Journal website. Authors should provide the following during the submission process:
1. Cover page, which includes:
Title, Keywords, Author's name, Author's affiliation, Address, Mobile number and E-mail
The cover page of the manuscript showing the author’s name and affiliation is removed by the AJCCR Office before the manuscript is sent to reviewers in order to ensure objectivity. Please do not identify the author(s) in the body of the paper either directly or by citation.
2. Manuscript with any information about author-identifying removed from the text body, and formatted with 1" margins and double spaced.
3. Abstract not more than 150 words.
4. Copyright. As part of the submission process we ask that you sign a copyright form assigning the copyright to AJCCR (this assignment becomes void if we do not publish the paper). This certifies that the paper has not been published elsewhere and is not under review at any other publication. If the rights to the paper have been assigned to another publication you cannot legally assign the copyright to AJCCR.
5. Formatting Guidelines
General: Articles should not exceed 30 pages. Each page of the manuscript must have page numbers and fonts must be in 12-point size. Providing a properly formatted manuscript is helpful to reviewers as they try to provide constructive comments to the authors.
Section headers: Organization of the paper should be logical wording consistent.
All headers should be left-aligned and bolded, with A-level headers in 14-point font size, B-level headers in 12-point font size, and C-level headers 12-point font and run in with the paragraph text.
Mathematical notations: Notations should be clearly explained within the text. Equations should be centered on the page. If equations are numbered, type the number in parentheses flush with the right margin. Unusual symbols and Greek letters should be identified. For equations that may be too wide to fit in a single column, indicate appropriate breaks.
Tables and Figures: All tables and figures should be able to stand alone and make sense without reference to the text. Indicate table and figure placement within text and then include each table/figure on a separate page at the end of the article. Tables should be typed flush with the left-hand margin and have proper labeling of axes, column headings, and other notations; put labels on the graphical element rather than in legends to save the reader the need to cross reference, and don’t use acronyms in tables and figures, but spell out the name of each construct. Figures and artwork must be high quality and camera ready, such as clean, black-and-white laser printouts. Each figure should appear on a separate page.
References: The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication; references should integrate recent work in the area. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Please do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list. Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. Articles published in AJCCR use APA reference formatting.
