Guidelines for Full Paper Submission

Introduction The stress is on original work by the authors. The submission should have addressed the review comments provided and will be reviewed as per the review sections and comments provided. Insights and contribution (both theoretical and practise oriented) being generated would be given prior weight. It is to be noted that invitation to select papers does not guarantee a journal publication. Authors are required to ensure their submission is as per the guidelines provided. Submissions not following the guidelines will be rejected and not reviewed and no extension for resubmission will be provided. Language The final submission should be written in UK English only. You may use this template as a sample. Length The final submission should be strictly limited to 4000 words (including abstract, keywords). Tables, Figures and other illustrations, references are not counted in the word count. The submission should be in double spacing format. We follow a single column format. Papers which cross the word limit will be rejected and will not be reviewed. Page Layout All margins should be 2.54 cm (1inch) wide. Text should be fully justified. Do not type anything outside the print area. The page number should be at the middle of the page footer. No other content should be present in either the header / footer of the submission. Font We follow the Times New Roman, 14pt boldface for title, 12pt boldface for section subtitles and 12 point non-boldface for main text. All the sections and sub sections should have a numbered heading. For example, the main section would be 1, sub section would be 1.1 and the sub section further would be 1.1, 1.1.1. Please limit to three (3) levels of sub sections. Title The title should provide a concise statement of the contents. The title alone should be given on the first page of the submission. The title should begin at 2.54 cm from the top edge of the page, centred, and in 14-point, boldface type. Capitalize the first letter of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, conjunctions, or prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word). Leave a blank line after the title. Separate file for Author(s) and Affiliation(s) The names of authors and their affiliation should not appear anywhere in the final submission. You need to submit a separate file containing the title of the paper, plus the names, affiliation and complete addresses, e-mail and fax number of authors, brief biographical notes about authors and any acknowledgements, all in Times New Roman, 12-point, non-boldface type. The author for correspondence should be marked. Main text Type your main text as double spaced in 12-point, justified. Paragraphs are not to be indented. Please leave a blank line when a new section starts, but do not place any additional blank lines between paragraphs (the double spacing followed will suffice). Illustrations, photographs and tables Figures, photographs and tables should be included into the text and fit in the text area. Captions to tables should be given at the top of each table. Captions to figures and photographs should be given at the end of each figure and photograph. Font size should be 10 for captions. Line drawings should be in a form suitable for reproduction without modification. The illustration should be sharp and visible, especially when highlighting an aspect. In cases of using any other copyrighted image or content as a reference for the paper, it is the duty of the author to get due approval for use where applicable. Copyright The authors / the corresponding author on behalf of the rest of the authors have to sign a copyright transfer / assignment form for accepted papers. This is a standard practise as followed in all conferences. This copyright helps the conference organisers to interface to publish the proceedings of the conference and also for inviting select papers for journal submissions. The copyright format would be released in due course. References citation List and number all bibliographical references in 12-point font, double spaced, at the end of your paper using the Harvard style. All references must be cited in the text (Name, year of publication). Where appropriate, include the name(s) of editors of referenced books. Websites accessed have to be cited with their access date.
