Publication Agreement

Before submitting a manuscript to the CEERAT Journal of Society and Development (CEERATJSD), authors are strongly advised and required to ensure full compliance with the following submission guidelines. Failure to meet these criteria may result in the manuscript being returned without review:

• The manuscript must be original and unpublished, and not under consideration by any other journal or publisher, either locally or internationally.
• The submission file should be in an editable format, such as Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, or RTF, and must be free of access restrictions (e.g., passwords or locked editing).
• The text must be single-spaced, use a 11-point font, and apply italics (not underlining) for emphasis, except in URLs. All figures, tables, and illustrations should be embedded within the text at their appropriate locations as well as not appended at the end.
• The manuscript must strictly follow the formatting, stylistic, and bibliographic requirements as detailed in the Author Guidelines section of the journal.
• The content must not include any material that could be considered abusive, obscene, defamatory, misleading, fraudulent, libelous, or legally prohibited.
• If the manuscript is submitted or accepted elsewhere during the review process, the author must notify the editorial team immediately. Such an action will be interpreted as a voluntary withdrawal from CEERATJSD.
