Author Guidelines

Scholarly Summit welcomes original scholarly contributions that advance knowledge and support responsible academic communication. Authors should review the relevant journal's aims and scope and follow these guidelines before submitting a manuscript.

Choose the Appropriate Journal

Before submission, ensure that your manuscript aligns with the selected journal's aims, scope, and subject area. Review the journal's specific instructions for accepted article types, formatting, and submission requirements.

Types of Manuscripts

Subject to each journal's scope and policies, submissions may include:

Manuscript Preparation

Prepare your manuscript in clear academic English and follow the selected journal's formatting instructions.

A research manuscript should generally include, where applicable:

Figures, tables, supplementary files, and abbreviations should be clearly labelled and explained. Manuscript structure may vary according to the article type and discipline.

References and Citations

Authors must acknowledge all sources used in their manuscripts and ensure that in-text citations correspond to the reference list.

Follow the reference style specified by the selected journal. Where APA 7th edition is required, references should follow APA formatting consistently. Include DOI links where available and verify the accuracy of all citations and bibliographic details.

Research Ethics and Required Declarations

Authors must ensure that their work complies with applicable research ethics standards and Scholarly Summit's Publication Ethics Statement.

Include relevant declarations in the manuscript, as applicable:

Authors must obtain necessary approvals and permissions before submission and provide supporting documentation when requested.

Originality and Authorship

Submitted manuscripts must be original, appropriately referenced, and not under consideration by another journal at the same time, unless the relevant journal's policy expressly permits otherwise.

All listed authors should have made appropriate scholarly contributions, approved the submitted version, and agreed to the submission. Any use of third-party material must be properly acknowledged, with permission obtained where required.

Plagiarism, fabricated or falsified data, duplicate publication, and other forms of research or publication misconduct are unacceptable and will be handled under the publisher's publication ethics procedures.

Peer Review and Editorial Decisions

Manuscripts are assessed according to the selected journal's editorial policies and peer-review procedures. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.

Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts in response to editorial or reviewer feedback. Final decisions are made in accordance with the journal's editorial procedures and scholarly standards.
