Guidelines

The Journal of Global Integrated Research (JGIR) embraces quality and original work of any researcher in any field. The following are the major guidelines that can assist you in preparing your manuscript to submit. The adherence to such will simplify and speed up the process of review and publication.

1. Types of Manuscripts

Some of the submissions that are accepted by JGIR are the following:

  • Original Research Articles - describe an original discovery and knowledge.
  • Review Articles - are comprehensive summaries of research that has been done.
  • Case Studies - are statements of particular cases or real-life uses.
  • Short Communications - brief reports about topical issues.

2. Plagiarism and Dual Submission

  • Your work should be original and no prior publication has been done.
  • Manuscripts that are under consideration in a different journal are not accepted.
  • Should you have published a section of your work elsewhere (e.g. in conference proceedings), this must be clearly disclosed at submission.

3. Submission Process

To submit your manuscript:

  1. Create an account or register on the JGIR submission portal.
  2. Fill out the submission form with author and manuscript details.
  3. Upload your manuscript (MS Word .doc / .docx).
  4. Review all information and submit.

Ensure that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final version before submission.

4. Manuscript Format

Manuscripts should be:

  • Written in clear, professional English.
  • Typed in Times New Roman, 12-point font.
  • Formatted with 1.5 line spacing and 1-inch margins.
  • Numbered consecutively on all pages.

Correct formatting helps reviewers evaluate your work more effectively.

5. Manuscript Structure

Submissions should follow this structure:

  • Title page (title, authors, affiliations, corresponding author contact)
  • Abstract (150–250 words)
  • Keywords (3–6 terms)
  • Introduction
  • Methodology
  • Results / Findings
  • Discussion
  • Conclusion
  • References

Please avoid including sections that do not contribute to the core academic message.

6. References and Citations

  • Use a consistent referencing style (APA, IEEE, or Vancouver).
  • All cited works must appear in the reference list.
  • Ensure references are accurate and complete.

7. Ethical Considerations

Authors must:

  • Disclose any conflicts of interest (financial or personal).
  • Ensure ethical compliance for studies involving humans or animals and include approval details.
  • Properly credit all sources and avoid plagiarism.

Unethical practices may result in rejection or withdrawal of the manuscript.

8. Peer Review Process

All manuscripts undergo a double-blind peer review process. Reviewers assess originality, clarity, methodology, and relevance.

  • Accepted
  • Returned for minor or major revisions
  • Rejected

Constructive feedback is provided to help improve your work.

9. Revision and Resubmission

If revisions are requested:

  • Address every reviewer comment carefully.
  • Provide a detailed response letter outlining changes.
  • Resubmit within the specified timeframe.

Timely revisions help speed up editorial decisions.

10. Copyright and Open Access

By submitting to JGIR, authors:

  • Retain copyright of their work.
  • Agree to open-access publication.
  • Allow free global access to their article.

Open access enhances visibility and scholarly impact.
