Policy on Publication Ethics

The journal expects all authors to be compliant with best practices in publication ethics and research integrity, including avoiding any and all misrepresentations as to due authorship, data presented within text, figures, and tables, and avoiding plagiarism, falsification, fabrication, or manipulation of data in the entirety of the manuscript and all supplementary data files submitted for editorial and/or peer review.

All multi-authored papers submitted should provide a clear statement about role and contribution of all co-authors (who performed what tasks, contributed to what function, etc. to qualify for authorship). When papers are submitted by the corresponding author, the Editor assumes all authors have consented to submission and prospective publication of the submitted paper in the journal. Others who did not perform according to authorship functions but have made some minor contribution may be mentioned in an Acknowledgements section at the end of the paper after the Reference List. Any paper submitted must not have been previously published in any form in any journal, conference proceeding, book, or edited volume. Any paper reporting on research results involving human subjects/participants must include documentation of ethics clearance of the research protocol in use from an Institutional Review Board/Ethics Review Committee. Such documentation (letter or certificate of approval) must be submitted at the time the paper is submitted to the journal for editorial review.

The journal’s editorial staff takes seriously any allegation of research misconduct or violation of publication ethics related to the paper submitted and/or published in the journal. The Editor will undertake to investigate any and all allegations to assure the journal’s compliance with research and publication ethics. Depending on the type of allegation any investigation may entail involvement of the author’s institutional authorities.

NSJPGS will accept papers, book reviews, and book review essays if submitted in free format version initially. However, accepted papers must conform to the journal format style as outlined below.
NSJPGS accepts papers, book reviews, and book review essays in English language only.

Papers should represent theoretical, empirical, quantitative or qualitative research discussions consistent with the author(s)’ discipline, or otherwise as appropriate to interdisciplinary and/or multidisciplinary research methods in use.
The word count for submitted papers should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words (including footnotes and references). The maximum word count for book reviews is 500 words. The maximum word count for book review essays is 3,000 words.
Papers should not be submitted simultaneously to, or be under review by, another journal when submitted to NSJPGS.
If the paper has been placed on a preprint platform prior to submittal, then a statement to this effect (along with the URL for the preprint) should be provided on the title page upon submittal. Preprint publication does not rule out consideration of a paper for publication in the journal, but the submitted paper should be a revised and updated version of the preprint. The corresponding author is expected to provide a statement clarifying the differences in content between the preprint and submitted version of the paper.
The main manuscript file should be anonymized for peer review, including removal of author information from the document properties file data.
Use a separate title page providing paper title and author(s) information, including names of author(s), institutional affiliation(s), and contact email(s) for the corresponding author.
All papers should have an abstract of up to 250 words and up to five keywords, both placed after the paper’s title.
For formatting of the main text, use sequential page numbering, 12-point Times New Roman font, bold face type in title case format for the main title and for section titles, italics for sub-sections, double-spacing throughout main text and footnote text, tab-indented block quotes for citations having four or more sentences, double-quotation marks for citation within the main text, margins of 2.5 inches on all sides, and full justified text format.
Use the (Author surname, Year, page) style format for all citations in the main text.
Include a References List (in alphabetical order) at the end of the paper for all works cited: e.g.,--
