The Journal of International Academic Research follows the Harvard reference style.

Articles are to be electronically submitted in Rich Text Format (rtf), Microsoft Word  (doc) (NOT docx) format to the Journal of International Academic Research website. Before submission, the author has to register a personal account and provide personal information. Any article can only be submitted when the author logs in the account. The bodies of articles may include text, figures, and tables only in order to ensure the widest accessibility. The body of the article should represent a stand-alone document. Technical material (tables, figures, and graphics) should be uploaded as one or more supplements on the JIAR website.

The official language of the Journal of International Academic Research is English.

In general, articles will be available in PDF and HTML versions. Reviews will be double blind. Authors will not know who reviews their papers and reviewers will not know the names of the authors. The Editor-in-Chief, Editor and Assistant Editor may be aware of names of authors. Only the Editor-in-Chief knows the names of all involved. The time required for review will vary, depending on the types of materials being reviewed (see the scope of the Journal). However, the average of time will not exceed three months. Authors can access the article review status and Reviewers’ comments via the personal account on the Journal website. The Journal does not change any fees to review manuscripts.

 

 

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

  1. The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).

     

  2. The submission file is in Rich Text Format (rtf), Microsoft Word (doc) or WordPerfect document file format.

     

  3. Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.

     

  4. The text is single-spaced; uses Arial 11-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

     

  5. The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.

     

  6. When submitting to the Journal of International Academic Research, the instructions in Ensuring a Blind Review have been followed.

     

  7. To ensure the integrity of the blind peer-review for submission to this journal, every effort should be made to prevent the identities of the authors and reviewers from being known to each other. This involves the authors, editors, and reviewers (who upload documents as part of their review) checking to see if the following steps have been taken with regard to the text and the file properties:

     

       1. The authors of the document have deleted their names from the text, with "Author" and year used in the references and footnotes, instead of the authors' name, article title, etc.

       2. With Microsoft Office documents, author identification should also be removed from the properties for the file (see under File in Word), by clicking on the following, beginning with File on the main menu of the Microsoft application: File > Save As > Tools (or Options with a Mac) > Security > Remove personal information from file properties on save > Save..
