Author Guidelines

Submission:

Authors are required to submit their work online and to check the status of their submission.

Submissions will go to the editor(s) first, then, if suitable, will be sent out for double-blind peer review. Submission of a contribution will be held to imply that it contains original unpublished work, and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere.

If you have any queries, please email the editorial office: info@janusunbound.com

Style:

      Authors are responsible for the consistency and accuracy of transliteration.

Tables, Figures, Photographs:

The author should obtain permission to reproduce any illustration that may be subject to copyright, and sources should be indicated appropriately in the accompanying captions. The use of figures (diagrams, charts, and graphs) and tables should be kept to a minimum, with only essential data presented. Each should be numbered consecutively, titled, and mentioned in the main text. Tables must contain editable text. Figures and tables should be supplied as separate editable files. Photographs can also be submitted if they are of good quality.

The editor(s) reserve(s) the right to copyedit the pieces of both the academic and creative sections accepted for publication.

Ethics and Responsibilities of the Author (Please, refer to https://publicationethics.org/)

JU adheres to ethical standards. In particular: 

      We expect all authors to state in their paper if they have a conflict of interest.

      All named authors on the papers should confirm that they have jointly participated in the research and writing of the article and that no author has been omitted from the list of authors.

      The author’s work should be original, has not been previously published, and does not plagiarise or copy someone else’s work without attribution.

      Papers should not defame, libel, or bring another person into disrepute, nor should it contain anything illegal (e.g. copyright infringing).

      Criticism should be intellectual, and opposition should be to ideas not to people.
