Guide for Authors



Authorship
Every author listed on a journal article should have made a significant contribution to the work reported. This could be in terms of research conception or design, or acquisition of data, or the analysis and interpretation of data. As an author or co-author, you share responsibility and accountability for the content of your article.
What to avoid
Gift (guest) authorship: where someone is added to the list of authors who has not been involved in writing the paper. Ghost authorship: where someone has been involved in writing the paper but is not included in the list of authors. Case 2: Plagiarism “When somebody presents the work of others (data, words or theories) as if they were his/her own and without proper acknowledgment.” Committee of Publications Ethics (COPE) When citing others’ (or your own) previous work, please ensure you have: Clearly marked quoted verbatim text from another source with quotation marks. Attributed and referenced the source of the quotation clearly within the text and in the Reference section. Obtained permission from the original publisher and rightsholder when using previously published figures or tables.

Abstract
A concise and factual abstract is required. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References should be avoided, but if essential, then cite the author(s) and year(s). Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself. The abstract is the second page of all manuscripts with the exceptionof "In the Moment - Personal Narratives" for which an abstract is required. Abstracts should be prepared with a structured format with a maximum of 250 words. Four elements should be addressed: objective, methods, results, and conclusions. Please label each section clearly with the appropriate subheading.
Content Requirements
Maximum of 1000 words in length (excluding What's New?, table/figure and references). Maximum of 10 key references. An abstract is required.



What's New? - Summarize innovation and outcomes in maximum of 40 words. oBackground - Brief background to establish the importance of the issue addressed in the intervention.
  • Educational Approach and Innovation - Description of the educational innovation and methods utilized in assessing the intervention. Justification of what makes the approach to or type of education innovative
  • Results - Assessment of the intervention's outcomes.
  • Discussion and Next Steps - Discussion of the impact of the work in advancing what is already known about the topic.

These articles will undergo the peer review process and be evaluated on the importance of the problem being addressed, the innovative nature of the project, the methods utilized in assessing the intervention, and the significance of the outcomes. We aim to publish one report in each issue.
