Author Guidelines

Contributors should write in ways that reflect that they are addressing an international audience, with diverse political and social perspectives.

Publishing in Seminar.net is free of charge. We will ask the contributors to make the process easy by conforming to the requirements listed below.

Articles should ideally contain no more than 6000 words and should adhere strictly to the style guide of the American Psychological Association (APA). Please make sure that the article contains a title of the contribution, name(s) and email address(es) of the author(s), a short note of biographical details. The article should begin with an abstract of 150-200 words. The full postal and email address of the author who will receive correspondence will be helpful.

Tables and Figures will be published as suggested in the manuscript. Please add alternative text to any figure or model used in the paper. 

References should be indicated in the typescript by giving the author's name, with the year of publication in parentheses, as detailed in the APA style guide. If several papers by the same author and from the same year are cited, a, b, c, etc. should be put after the year of publication. The references should be listed in full at the end of the paper in standard APA format. For example:

After reception of article, it will be screened by the editor/s. If found suitable for the journal, the article will be sent to two referees for further reviewing.  Seminar.net practices a double blind referee process. Three outputs: rejection, accepted, accepted if revised, are possible. If accepted on the condition of revision, the editors will decide if a new process of reviews is necessary.

Proofs will be sent by the publishers to authors in electronic form. The author/s will have to respond within three days to answer queries.

Offprints: no offprints will be available

Keywords: The author(s) should include a set of keywords for the article. These will be used as metadata tags when the article is published online.

Video: Each article published on seminar.net is accompanied by a video-introduction by the author(s). The video should be delivered in a digital format. It should be minimum 640 x 360 pixels (widescreen) – or minimum 640 x 480 (4x3 equivalent) – big in the fileformats mp4, .mov, .wmv or .avi. When shooting the video, please bear in mind that it will be viewed in a small format so a "talking head" is preferred, that any disturbing backgrounds, environments etc. should be avoided and that quality of sound is important. Avoid shooting in an environment with many other sounds and use an external microphone if available (try to avoid internal microphones in laptops because the posibility of fan noise).
