Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.

 PUPJST adheres to the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). 

  • Submitting a manuscript to PUPJST signifies that all authors have reviewed and approved its content and that the manuscript complies with the journal’s policies.
  • Intending authors should submit only original manuscripts that are free of plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, and are not under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts submitted to our journals are considered exclusive during the review process. Submission to other publications is prohibited unless the manuscript is formally declined by one of our journals following peer review.
  • The journal, through the Managing Editors (ME), reserves the right to accept or reject any submitted material.
  • Works in our journals do not reflect the views of the editors.
  • The journal has the right to retract works that breach research and publication ethics after publication.

Please read our Submission Guidelines if you have not done so already. When filling out the forms, provide as many details as possible in order to help our editors evaluate your work.

Once you begin, you can save your submission and come back to it later. You will be able to review and correct any information before you submit.

 

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  • This submission meets the requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • Manuscripts should be accompanied by a cover letter which should include the following information:
    • A full statement to the editor about all submissions and previous reports that might be regarded as redundant publications of the same or very similar work. Any such work should be referred to specifically and referenced in the new paper. Copies of such material should be included with the submitted paper to help the editor address the situation. See also Section III.D.2 https://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf.
    • A statement of financial or other relationships and activities that might lead to a conflict of interest, if that information is not included in the manuscript itself or in an author’s form. See also Section II.B.
    • A statement on authorship. Journals that do not use contribution declarations for all authors may require that the submission letter includes a statement that the manuscript has been read and approved by all the authors, that the requirements for authorship as stated earlier in this document have been met, and that each author believes that the manuscript represents honest work if that information is not provided in another form. See also Section II.A.
    • Contact information of all the authors (email and affiliations). Specify the corresponding author who will be responsible for communicating with other authors about revisions and final approval of the proofs, if that information is not included in the manuscript itself. 
    • The letter or form should inform editors if concerns have been raised (e.g., via institutional and/or regulatory bodies) regarding the conduct of the research or if corrective action has been recommended. The letter or form should give any additional information that may be helpful to the editor, such as the type or format of the article in the particular journal that the manuscript represents. If the manuscript has been submitted previously to another journal, it is helpful to include the previous editors' and reviewers’ comments with the submitted manuscript, along with the authors’ responses to those comments. Editors encourage authors to submit these previous communications. Doing so may expedite the review process and encourage transparency and sharing of expertise.
    • The manuscript must be accompanied by permission to reproduce previously published material, use previously published illustrations, report information about identifiable people, or acknowledge people for their contributions.
    • Authors should obtain permission from authors for copyright figures and tables before submitting to PUPJST.

As part of the submission process, authors must confirm that their submission complies with all the following requirements. Submissions that do not meet these guidelines may be returned for revisions.
