Author Guidelines-IJAIGP

Submission Requirements

IJAIGP invites original, unpublished manuscripts from scholars and practitioners globally. All submissions must be made through the journal's official online submission portal. Authors are required to confirm that the work is original, has not been published elsewhere, and is not concurrently under review at any other journal.

Manuscripts must be submitted in Microsoft Word format (.docx). Complete submissions should include the manuscript body, structured abstract, keywords, declarations, and all supporting materials.

• Language: English (British or American, consistently applied)

Authorship Standards

IJAIGP adheres to the ICMJE definition of authorship. All named authors must have made substantial intellectual contributions to the work, participated in drafting or critical revision, approved the final version, and agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work. Honorific, guest, or ghost authorship is strictly prohibited.

The corresponding author is responsible for all communications with the editorial team, including submission, revision, and post-publication matters. Requests to change authorship after submission must be made in writing and signed by all authors.

Required Declarations

Every submission must include clearly stated declarations covering:

• Conflict of interest disclosure for all authors

• Funding sources and grant reference numbers

• Ethics committee approval (where applicable, particularly for empirical studies)

• Informed consent statement (for studies involving human participants)

• Data availability statement

• AI tool use disclosure (required where generative AI was used in drafting any portion of the manuscript)
