The IGSCPS 2023 committee reserves the right to exclude a manuscript from being published in the journal, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.  

1. The committee only accepts a brief article ( 5-6 pages or maximum of 1,500 words excluding the title page, abstract, references, tables, and figure legends, but including the abbreviation list, acknowledgements, funding, disclosure statement, and author contributions). Please write concisely.
2. The submission file for each manuscript is in Microsoft Word with two-column format. 
3. The structure of each manuscript is consistent. We would normally expect a structured format for each manuscript along the lines of Abstract; Introduction/background; Aim/objective; Methods used; results; principal discussion and conclusion(s). Each section should start in new page.
4. Style, statistical reporting, and reference citations should conform to the American Psychological Association's (APA) guidelines, from the APA Publication Manual, fifth edition.

5. Avoid excessive referencing. Only papers that have been published or are in press may be cited; unpublished data and personal communications should not be included in the reference list but may be included in the text. Obtaining permission to quote personal communications and unpublished data from the cited author is the responsibility of the Author.

9. The Authors will have to obtain all necessary permissions that may pertain to the manuscript submitted.
10. The Authors will have disclosed all/any potential and actual conflicts of interest contained within the manuscript. Where there is no potential or actual conflict of interest, this does not have to be stated (for brevity of overall abstract length) but this remains the responsibility of the Author.
