Author guidelines

MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

Use a single MS Word file for submission, including the title page, Abstract, main text, and references

1.     LANGUAGE

Articles can be submitted in the following languages.

English (Times New Roman, 12 font, 1.5 line spacing)

Hindi/Marathi (Kruti Dev 10/Unicode/Nirmala UI, 12 font, 1.5 line spacing)

Odia (Akruti Ori Konark, 12 font, 1.5 line spacing)

2. LENGTH OF PAPER

The length of the paper should not exceed 10-12 pages (Maximum 3000 words, including abstract, content, and references- Everything). Articles containing more than the maximum words will be returned to the author(s) to abridge. Articles should be typed in 1.5 line spacing (including footnotes and references) on one side of the paper only (preferably A4) with wide margins. Authors are urged to write as concisely as possible, but not at the expense of clarity.

3. TITLE PAGE

The title page is a separate page before the text. It should include the following:
information:

Article Title: Title should be concise and informative. Try to avoid abbreviations and formulas where possible.

Author’s Names and Address: Please indicate the full name of all the authors clearly with full designations & full postal address with e-mail address and mobile number.

4. ABSTRACT

A concise and factual abstract is required (100-150 words). The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results, and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.

5. KEYWORDS

Immediately after the abstract, provide 5-6 keywords, avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, ‘and’, ‘of’).

6. SUBDIVISION OF THE ARTICLE

Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1, 2. (then 1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2), 1.2, etc. The abstract is not included in section numbering.

7. FIGURES & TABLES:

Figures and tables must be numbered.

Each figure/table should have a title & source. 

Place figures and tables at appropriate positions within the article.

8. REFERENCES

Author(s) should follow the latest edition of APA style in referencing. Please visit www.apastyle.org to learn more about APA style.

Citations in the Text: Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Avoid citation in the abstract. Unpublished results and personal communications should not be in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text.

Reference List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters “a”, “b”, “c”, etc., placed after the year of publication.

9. POINTS TO REMEMBER

1.     The submission manuscript has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.

2.     The submission file is in Microsoft Word file format.

 Guidelines on the Use of Artificial Intelligence and Related Technologies

These guidelines outline the acceptable use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies—such as large language models (e.g., ChatGPT, Jasper) and text-to-image generators (e.g., DALL·E 2, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion)—in the preparation and submission of manuscripts to Frontiers.

Use of AI in the Creation of Written or Visual Content

Generative AI technologies must not be listed as authors or co-authors on any manuscript submitted to Lyceum. As these tools lack accountability and the capacity to assume responsibility for the content, they do not fulfill the criteria for authorship.

If generative AI technologies have been used to generate or edit written or visual content within a manuscript, authors are required to ensure such use is in full compliance with all Lyceum’s editorial policies and ethical standards. In particular:

·     Responsibility for Accuracy: Authors bear full responsibility for verifying the factual accuracy of any AI-generated content. This includes, but is not limited to, direct quotations, citations, references, and data interpretation.

·      Visual Content: Figures or images produced or modified using generative AI must be carefully reviewed to confirm they accurately represent the data or concepts described in the manuscript.

·    Originality and Integrity: Authors must ensure that all AI-generated or AI-edited content is original, appropriately attributed, and free from plagiarism or ethical violations.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in the rejection of the manuscript or retraction of published work.
