In alignment with the COPE Plagiarism Policy, our originality guidelines are established to help authors discern acceptable from unacceptable practices. IJGP allows a maximum similarity index of 19% for the entire manuscript, with no more than 5% similarity from any single source. If the paper is derived from previously conducted research, such as an MPhil or PhD thesis, the following statement should be included in the authors note:

I hereby declare that the given paper is extracted from my MPhil/PhD thesis and/or is an extension of my previous research work.

Title Page

The first page of the manuscript should contain the title of the paper, the name(s) of the author(s), and a footnote giving the current affiliation of the author(s) and any acknowledgements or authors note.

Abstract, Keywords, and Classification Codes

All manuscripts must include an abstract containing a maximum of 250 words typed on a separate page followed by five keywords or brief phrases (APA). The abstract should explain the purpose of the research, the primary results, major conclusions, and any policy prescriptions. It should not exaggerate or contain material, not in the main text. The abstract should be followed by JEL classification and keywords. Please provide up to 6 standard JEL/AMS codes. The available codes may be accessed at JEL or AMS.

Introduction

A strong introduction engages the reader in the problem and provides a context for the study in hand. In introducing the research concern, the author should provide a clear rationale regarding why the problem deserves new research, placing the study in the context of current knowledge, and prior theoretical and empirical work on the topic. The summary of results should have been dealt with in the abstract.

Literature Review

The author needs to extend the background to the articles introduction and identify the most relevant previous literature on the topic for positioning the paper and demonstrating its significance. A separate section for setting out the theoretical or conceptual framework is recommended. In short, this section of the literature review should explain the motivation for the paper and the importance of this research to the contributions.

Methodology/ Analysis

The author is required to provide an elaborate description of the methods used as well as an explanation of the processes applied to gather and analyze the data and that the methodology is appropriate and systematic.

Results & Discussion

Results should be clear and concise. The significance of the results of the research work, with no repeatedly mentioning of results in the text is often appropriate.

Tables, Figures, Formulas and Equations

Tables should be numbered and headed with appropriate concise titles. The tables are preferred to be presented after the main body of the text and not inserted in the manuscript. Tables for the main text and each of its appendices should be numbered serially and separately. The title of each table, as well as the captions of its columns and rows, should be clearly expressive of the contents. The source of the tables should be given in a footnote immediately below the line at the bottom of the table, but unlike other footnotes, which must be numbered consecutively, it should not be numbered.

Mathematical formulae/ Equations:

Please include mathematical equations and expressions as editable text and not as images. Write equations and formulas using the equation editor.

Figure captions: Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations to a minimum, but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. The resolution of the image should be 300dpi.

Tables: Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s) at the end (not a mixture of both).

Conclusions

The original contribution of the manuscript and the discussion of implications of findings should be clearly mentioned in this section. Provide a critical assessment of the limitations of the study, and outline possible directions for future research.

References

End References: IJGP requires all references in APA 7th edition format. All references used in the text should be listed in the alphabetical order of the authors surnames at the end of the text. References should be complete and correct. List of references is presented at the end of the paper under the heading References, Use of DOI is highly encouraged.

In-text citation: Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Reference management software such as Mendeley, EndNote etc. are preferable for reference citation.
