Review System
Every research paper will be reviewed by masked reviewers. The Editor reserves the right to reject any manuscript as unsuitable for publication, keeping in view the required level of logical argument, the topic of relevance and citation style of the submitted paper without requesting for external review.
Basic Format of the Manuscript
Contributors must include their affiliations and postal and e-mail addresses with their papers and recent book reviews. Research papers should be written in MS Word (1.5-spaced) format, ranging between 4000 and 5000 words. It must be accompanied by an abstract of 100 words and necessary keywords.CMDRJSR accepts reviews of scholarly books on social sciences (1500-2000words).
Spellings and Numerical Usages
Use British spellings in all cases instead of American spellings (hence’programme’not’program’, ‘labour’ not’labor’). Use’s’ spelling instead of ‘z’ spelling (hence ‘ organise ‘ not’ organize’). Use figures to express all numbers 10 and above. Spell out numbers lower than 10; however, for exact measurement, use only figures (3 km, 9 per cent)
Quotation, Notes, Tables, and Figures
Use a single quote throughout. Double quotes are only to be used within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be indented from the text. CMDRJSR uses endnotes in place of footnotes. Endnotes should be numbered serially and presented at the end of the paper. We advocate minimum usage of tables and figures. However, all the tables and figures should be numbered and their sources should be mentioned clearly below the tables and figures.
