The title page should include:
|
| Research Funding | Disclose funding sources in the acknowledgements section. |
| Structured Abstract | Must be included and follow this format:
Always include: purpose, methods, results and findings, implications, and originality. A maximum of 250 words, including 4-6 keywords |
| An example of the structured abstract: | Purpose:
What is the main research question or problem you’re addressing? Why is this research important or needed? Example: “This study aims to explore the effects of remote work on employee productivity and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic.” Methods: Describe the research design, data collection methods, and analysis. Are you using a qualitative or quantitative approach? Or both? Example: “A mixed-methods approach was employed, collecting data through online surveys (n = 500) and semi-structured interviews (n = 50) among remote workers.” Findings: Summarize the main results of your research. What did you discover or conclude? Example: “Results indicate a 15% increase in productivity among remote workers, though 30% reported feelings of isolation.” Implications: How can academicians and researchers benefit from this research? How does the subject domain get contributed? How can practitioners or policymakers use your findings? What are the real-world applications? Example: “Organizations should consider implementing regular virtual social events to combat feelings of isolation among remote workers.” Originality: Explain what makes your research unique. How does your work differ from or build upon previous studies? Example: “Unlike previous studies that focused on remote work in tech industries, this study broadens the scope, capturing diverse sectors during an unprecedented global event.” Keywords: 4-6 essential keywords, separated by colons. Note: Maintain clarity and conciseness. Use an active voice where possible. Avoid jargon and complex terminologies. Refer to the journal’s specific guidelines. |
| Headings | Must be concise. First level is in bold; subsequent levels are in italics. |
| Abbreviations | Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter. |
| Footnotes | Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.
Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols. Always use footnotes instead of endnotes. |
| Acknowledgments | Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in this section before the reference list and at the end of the text of a manuscript. The names of funding organizations/society should be written in full. |
| Figures and Tables | Tables
All tables must be numbered using Arabic numerals. Tables should always be cited in text in consecutive numeral order. For each table, please supply a table caption (title) explaining the components of the table. Identify any previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference at the end of the table caption. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data) and included beneath the table body. Artwork and Illustrations Guidelines For the best quality final product, it is highly recommended that you submit all of your artwork – photographs, line drawings, etc. – in an electronic format. Your art will then be produced to the highest standards with the greatest accuracy to detail. The published work will directly reflect the quality of the artwork provided. Supply all figures electronically. Indicate what graphics program was used to create the artwork. For vector graphics, the preferred format is EPS; for halftones, please use the TIFF format. MS Office files are also acceptable. Vector graphics containing fonts must have the fonts embedded in the files. Name your figure files with “Fig” and the figure number, e.g., Fig1.eps. Figure Lettering To add lettering, it is best to use Arial (sans serif fonts). Keep lettering consistently sized throughout your final-sized artwork, usually about 2–3 mm (8–12 pt). The variance of type size within an illustration should be minimal, e.g., do not use 8-pt type on an axis and 20-pt type for the axis label. Avoid effects such as shading, outline letters, etc. Do not include titles or captions within your illustrations. Figure Numbering All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals. Figures should always be cited in text in consecutive numerical order. Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.). If an appendix appears in your article and it contains one or more figures, continue the consecutive numbering of the main text. Do not number the appendix figures, “A1, A2, A3, etc.” Figures in online appendices (Electronic Supplementary Material) should, however, be numbered separately. Figure Captions Each figure should have a concise caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. Include the captions in the text file of the manuscript, not in the figure file. Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also in bold type. No punctuation is to be included after the number, nor is any punctuation to be placed at the end of the caption. Identify all elements found in the figure in the figure caption; and use boxes, circles, etc., as coordinate points in graphs. Identify previously published material by giving the original source in the form of a reference citation at the end of the figure caption. |
| Permissions | If you include figures that have already been published elsewhere you must obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format. Please be aware that some publishers do not grant electronic rights for free and Chitkara University Publications will not be able to refund any costs that may have occurred to receive these permissions. In such cases, material from other open & free sources should be used. |
| Electronic Supplementary Material | The journal accepts electronic multimedia files (animations, movies, audio, etc.) and other supplementary files to be published online along with an article or book chapter. This feature can add dimension to the author’s article, as certain information cannot be printed or is more convenient in electronic form.
Supply all supplementary material in standard file formats. Please include the following information in each file: article title, journal name, author names; affiliation, and e-mail address of the corresponding author. To accommodate user downloads, please keep in mind that larger-sized files may require very long download times and that some users may experience other problems during downloading. Audio, Video, and Animations. Always use MPEG-1 (.mpg) format. If supplying any supplementary material, the text must make specific mention of the material as a citation, similar to that of figures and tables. Refer to the supplementary files as “Online Resource”, e.g., “… as shown in the animation (Online Resource 3)”, “… additional data are given in Online Resource 4”.Name the files consecutively, e.g. “ESM_3.mpg”, “ESM_4.pdf”. For each supplementary material, please supply a concise caption describing the content of the file. Electronic supplementary material will be published as received from the author without any conversion, editing, or reformatting. |
| Spreadsheets | Spreadsheets should be converted to PDF if no interaction with the data is intended. If the readers should be encouraged to make their own calculations, spreadsheets should be submitted as .xls files (MS Excel). |
| References | Use the American Psychological Association- 7th Edition (APA7) referencing style. Click here to download the reference template.
Ensure all citations are complete, accurate, and consistent. Remember to always uphold ethical standards regarding authorship and research presentation. Provide each author’s email id (prefer to the institutions) and ORCID,. If you don’t have an ORCID profile then you can register yourself by using the following link: https://orcid.org/ |
| Proof Reading | The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables, and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title, and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article. |
