Publication Ethics for Author(s)

To maintain the integrity of the research record and uphold professional standards of authorship, Praxis International Journal of Social Science and Literature expects authors to adhere strictly to the following ethical guidelines:

Author Responsibilities:

Authors must submit original and unpublished research work. Any form of plagiarism or duplication is strictly prohibited.
Misrepresentation or manipulation of research findings must be avoided.
Simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to multiple journals is considered unethical and is not allowed.
Once a work is published in PIJSSL, it must not be submitted for publication elsewhere.
Proper citation and acknowledgment of other scholarly works and references are mandatory.
All co-authors must consent to the submission of the manuscript.
The corresponding author (typically the first author) is responsible for communicating with the editorial team and keeping all co-authors informed about submission status and editorial correspondence.
Requests for changes in authorship, including additions, removals, or rearrangement of author order, will not be accepted after the manuscript has been submitted.
Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest, including financial, ideological, or personal relationships that could influence the research process or its outcomes.
In the event of any ethical misconduct, the responsibility lies solely with the author(s).

Copyright and Publishing Rights:

Upon acceptance, authors will be required to sign a Copyright Agreement Form.
Authors retain full copyright and publishing rights without restrictions after publication in this journal.
No additional permission is required from the journal or publisher for further use of the published content.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines:

Submit manuscripts in Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) format only.
Use Times New Roman, font size 12, with 1.5 line spacing.
Follow either the MLA 7th/8th edition or APA 7th edition citation style consistently throughout the paper.
Submissions in formats other than MS Word will not be accepted.
