Submission Guidelines for Jindal Journal of International Affairs (JJIA)

MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

Manuscripts and all editorial correspondence should be addressed to: The Editor-in- Chief, Jindal Journal of International Affairs, at Jindal School of International Affairs

O.P. Jindal Global University Sonipat-Narela Road, Sonipat, Haryana-131001, NCR of  Delhi, India.

Manuscripts should be submitted via email to jjia@jgu.edu.in. Contributors must provide their affiliation, complete   postal and e-mail addresses and telephone number.

The onus lies on the author to divulge any potential conflict of interest regarding the manuscript.

The preferred length of an article submitted to JJIA is between 6000- and 7500-words including references. All articles must be accompanied by an abstract of 150–200 words together with five important keywords.

Book reviews should be between 1500 -2500 words with full details of the reviewed book including the subtitle, the name of the author, place of publication, name of publisher, year of publication, number of pages and the price. Notes should be numbered serially and presented as footnotes. Notes, other than website sources (with access date), must contain more than a mere reference.

All figures, i.e., diagrams, images, photographs and tables should be placed at the end of the contribution and numbered in the order they appear in text. Table and figure locations should be indicated in text by callouts (e.g., “[See Table 1]”) inserted after the respective paragraphs.

Each table or figure should have a heading, an explanatory caption, if necessary, and a source or reference. Tables need to be submitted in MS Excel or MS Word.

All figures having an image resolution of minimum 300 dpi, 1500 pixels, min width 4 inches and their format should be TIFF or JPEG. It is requested that excessive formatting for tables and figures be avoided.

Limit the levels of heading within an article to two, or at most three. Avoid long headings and do not number them.

JJIA prefers British spellings throughout (‘labour’ not ‘labor’, ‘centre’ not ‘center’); universal ‘s’ in ‘-ise’ and ‘-isation’ words.

Single quotes throughout; double quotes used within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed.

Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text and indented with one space with a line space above and below supported by specific page source

Use ‘eighteenth century’, ‘1980s’. It is suggested to spell out numbers from one to nine (in words), 10 and above to remain in figures. However, for exact measurements use only figures (5 km, 7 per cent not %).

Use thousands, millions and billions. It is advised that the use of italics should be minimized unless necessary, but used consistently.

Permissions and Releases- Material taken directly from a copyrighted source should be clearly identified, and the copyright holder’s written permission to reproduce it must be submitted in a separate file. It is the author’s responsibility to seek permission for reproducing copyrighted material.

References and Citations for citing and referring to scholarly works the Journal follows Chicago Manual of Style. The Journal prefers footnotes instead of endnotes. We will consider manuscripts for publication only if they are written in accordance with this style.
