How to prepare Manuscript
Authors are advised to prepare their manuscripts according to the IIARP template. Click here to download the article template. However, authors having challenges with the template can submit manuscripts as Word documents provided all sections of the manuscript are included: title, names of authors, institutional affiliations, email address of corresponding author, abstract, introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion, conclusion, acknowledgement (optional) and references. Tables, figures and plates should be properly positioned at the rightful place in the text. References should be listed alphabetically using the APA (v7) format.
How to submit Manuscript?
Manuscripts can be submitted online through the Submit Today buttons on the journal website. Authors can also submit directly to either of these email addresses: iiarpub@gmail.com or info@iiarpub.org
Review Process:
- Each manuscript is first reviewed by the Managing Editor before being sent to one or two independent reviewers. Substandard articles are returned to the corresponding author with the Managing Editor's comments. Such manuscripts can be resubmitted after correction. Articles sent to reviewers are returned to the corresponding author along with the reviewer's comments. The authors are required to revise their manuscripts by responding to the reviewer's comments. Authors are free to regard some comments as unnecessary, only by sending convincing arguments to the Managing Editor in writing. Revised manuscripts are usually expected within 3-5 working days.
Publication Process after acceptance of paper:
- Notification of acceptance of manuscript will be sent to the corresponding author by email. Authors of accepted manuscripts are required to pay the publication fee of 20,000NGN (for Nigerian authors) or 25USD (for authors from other countries). On confirmation of payment, the page proof will be sent to the corresponding author. Corrections, if any, will be referred to the Managing Editor in writing within 24 hours. The final version will be published on the journal website within 24-48 hours.
