However, the authors may send soft copies of their submissions directly to the
Editor. Manuscripts should be submitted as soft copies. They should be typed in
Times New Roman font size 12, with 1.5 line spacing and with margins of one inch
on all sides. The normal size of a paper is about 8,000- 10,000 words.
Cover Page
Manuscript of a paper should have a cover page providing the title of the paper,
the name(s), address(es), phone, fax numbers and e-mail address(es) of all
authors and acknowledgements if any. In order to facilitate anonymous review of
the papers, please restrict the author-related information only to the cover
page.
Abstract
Following the cover page, there should be an 'abstract' page, which should
contain the title of the paper, the subtitle 'Abstract' and a summary of the
paper in single space, not exceeding 150 words. The text of the paper should not
start on this page, but on a fresh page with the title of the paper repeated.
References
References should be cited in the style prescribed in the Publication Manual of
the American Psychological Association (4 ed.). Indicate the position of the
reference in the text within brackets by the author's last name and the year of
publication; e.g.: '(Porter, 1980)' or incorporate it into a sentence, eg: 'as
pointed out by Hannan and Freeman (1977)'. At the end of the text, references
should be listed in the alphabetical order of the last names of the authors,
with a title REFERENCES. Examples of how the references are to be listed at the
end of the paper are given below :
Figures and Tables
Each Figure/Table should be printed on a separate sheet. Figures and tables are
to be separately numbered, titled and attached at the end of the text serially.
The position of the figure or table should be indicated in the text on a
separate line with the words "Table 1 about here".
Revised manuscripts
At the end of the blind review process, the editor informs the author about the
acceptance or rejection of the manuscript. On acceptance, the author is expected
to incorporate the modifications suggested by the reviewers, if any, and submit
a soft copy of the final revised manuscript.
Policy against simultaneous submission
Authors should ensure that the manuscript submitted to PMR is not simultaneously
submitted to any other journal or publisher. Similarly, it should not be
submitted anywhere else during the pendency of the review process which will
take about 3-6 months. Once a manuscript is accepted by or published in PMR, it
becomes the property of PCMRD, whose permission is required for any operations
covered by the Copyright Act.
