Guidelines for Authors

Articles must be solely the unpublished original work of the author(s) stated, must not have been previously published elsewhere, and must not be under consideration by any another journal. The Editor(s) or the publisher assumes no responsibility for the statements and opinions of author(s).

The IJLIS strongly discourages duplication/reduplication of data already published in other journals/books. If and when duplication is detected after publishing in IJLIS, the journal will be forced to 'retract' such articles. All articles submitted to IJLIS are subject to peer review process. All accepted articles will be suitably edited before publication.

All articles submitted for publication to the IJLIS should follow the below mentioned guidelines:

We are happy to inform you that the Journal Website has been refined to give fresh look for the users of IJLIS. For this, the site was not working properly last few days. We regret to inconvenience.

1. Covering Letter: A covering letter which could explain why the article should be published in the IJLIS. One of the authors could be identified as the corresponding author of the article, who would be responsible for the contents of the article as also answer.

2. Article: Article should be presented in as concise a form as possible and the contents arranged in the following format:

Article should be submitted in MS word format, A4 page size and of maximum 6000 words in English.

-- Review of the literature should be restricted to reasons for undertaking the present study and provide only the most essential background.

-- Methodology should be clearly mentioned like objectives, methods followed for work, limitations, statistical analysis, etc. should be included.

-- The discussion should deal with the interpretation of results without repeating information already presented under results.

-- Tables and figures may be numbered in Arabic numerals and sources cited clearly. These should appear in sequential order in the text. The corresponding tables or figures should either appear within the text or should be placed at the end of the article.

-- The conclusions can be linked with the goals of the study but unqualified statements and conclusions not completely supported by the data should be avoided.

-- Acknowledgements should be in brief.

-- Undertaking by Author(s) should be signed by all author(s) and submitted with the article. You can download the format: Undertaking by Authors.

-- In-Text Citations: MLA format follows the author-page method of in-text citation.

This means that the author's last name and the page number(s) from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken must appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear on your Works Cited page. The author's name may appear either in the sentence itself or in parentheses following the quotation or paraphrase, but the page number(s) should always appear in the parentheses, not in the text of your sentence.

Follow the any one of MLA, APA or Chicago Manual Style of References

Article processing (APC):

Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) :

International Journal of Library and Information Studies is participating in the Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process (FEE-Review Process) with an additional prepayment of $99 apart from the regular article processing fee. Fast Editorial Execution and Review Process is a special service for the article that enables it to get a faster response in the pre-review stage from the handling editor as well as a review from the reviewer. An author can get a faster response of pre-review maximum in 3 days since submission, and a review process by the reviewer maximum in 5 days, followed by revision/publication in 2 days. If the article gets notified for revision by the handling editor, then it will take another 5 days for external review by the previous reviewer or alternative reviewer.

Acceptance of manuscripts is driven entirely by handling editorial team considerations and independent peer-review, ensuring the highest standards are maintained no matter the route to regular peer-reviewed publication or a fast editorial review process. The handling editor and the article contributor are responsible for adhering to scientific standards. The article FEE-Review process of $99 will not be refunded even if the article is rejected or withdrawn for publication.

The corresponding author or institution/organization is responsible for making the manuscript FEE-Review Process payment. The additional FEE-Review Process payment covers the fast review processing and quick editorial decisions, and regular article publication covers the preparation in various formats for online publication, securing full-text inclusion in a number of permanent archives like HTML, XML, and PDF, and feeding to different indexing agencies.

Check-List:

Before submitting the article you should check the following:

-- Covering letter (Hard copy should be sent)

-- Undertaking by Author(s) signed by all authors (hard copy should be sent)
