Author Guidelines

AUTHOR GUIDELINES

JuKu accepts research-based and reviewed articles for publication. The article should be original, unpublished, and not considered for publication elsewhere at the time of submission. All submissions should be double-blind reviewed by reviewers with expertise in the relevant areas from the editorial board.  However, if work described in conference proceedings is substantially revised and extended, it will be considered. All submission process is free of charge.

Submission File(s) Formats

There are two types of files: main manuscript and artwork files. See below for examples of acceptable submission files.  Link all files from the Main Manuscript and embed the graphics in this document. Also, ALL files should be sent separately with names matching those in the Main Manuscript. Do NOT submit compressed files.

Main manuscript (Primary submission document) should be submitted in Word format- Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) (see sample article). Do not use any word processing options/tools, such as strike-through, hidden text, comments, merges, and so forth. Due to the academic focus of this publication, the use of personal pronouns (I, we, etc.) and the present tense is strongly discouraged.

Artwork includes tables, figures, appendices, and videos. Tables and figures in BMP, GIF, and JPEG (JPG) formats are preferred. Authors should supply separate figures in one of these formats besides embedding them at appropriate places in text. The details for acceptable submission format are stated in the style guidelines.

Submission procedures 

All manuscripts are acknowledged upon receipt via email. Review is carried out as promptly as possible. All submissions must be sent via the website. Any submission through email will not be entertained.  A format which best preserves the "document look" is preferred. Preferred formats of submission are Word documents and RTF, not PDF and other non-editable formats.

Authors are required to recommend 3 qualified reviewers for the peer review process. Adhering to the following guidelines will help to avoid delays. Authors should be prepared to provide the first and last names, institutions, and email addresses of the potential reviewers who are experts in the field. Potential reviewers should not be from any of the authors' institutions. Authors should take care not to recommend reviewers who have a real or perceived conflict of interest (e.g., a collaborator or someone who has recently published with one of the authors). When a manuscript is returned to the authors for revision, the authors should address the specific recommendations of the reviewers and justify any suggestions that have been disregarded. The revised manuscript should be returned promptly.
