Do not use non-standard abbreviations unless they appear at least three times in the text.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proofs and Reprints<\/strong><br \/>\nUpon receipt of corrected proofs, they must be returned to the publisher within seven (7) days. The publisher does everything possible to ensure timely publication. In this regard, it is requested that authors place value in the importance of following the writing guidelines outlined, so the manuscripts and figures adhere to the style of the journal publication standards prior to submission. Additionally, usage of general descriptive names, trade names, trademarks, and so forth in this publication, even if not specifically identified, does not imply that these names are not protected by the relevant laws and regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manuscript Organization<\/strong><br \/>\nManuscript File Requirements<br \/>\nAuthors may submit their manuscript files in Word (as .doc or .docx).<br \/>\nGuidelines for Standard Sections<br \/>\nTitle<br \/>\nA full title must be included with the submission of each manuscript.<br \/>\nAuthors and Affiliations<br \/>\nUse the following order to list all authors:<br \/>\n\u2022 First names (or initials, if used),<br \/>\n\u2022 Middle names (or initials, if used), and<br \/>\n\u2022 Last names (surname, family name)<\/p>\n<p>An associated department, university, or organizational affiliation and its location (city, state\/province, and country) must be listed per author. In the case of a submission made by a consortium, all author names and their affiliations should be indicated at the article\u2019s end.<br \/>\nOnce the manuscript has been initially submitted, this information cannot be changed. As such, please ensure its accuracy prior to submission.<\/p>\n<p>The following criteria outline the basis of qualification for authorship:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Conception and design of the work, data collection, or analysis and interpretation of data<\/li>\n<li>Drafting or revising the article critically for important intellectual content<\/li>\n<li>Approval of the final version to be published<\/li>\n<li>Accountable for all aspects of the work<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This criterion should be used to determine who can qualify for authorship and all individuals listed as authors must fit this criterion. To qualify as an author, the individual must have participated in the work enough to take public responsibility for the corresponding portions of the content. Anyone who does not qualify for authorship but contributed to the work must be listed in the acknowledgements.<\/p>\n<p>If it is a large centre or group that has conducted the work, they should include the group name as well as an author list of those who fit the authorship criteria.\u00a0Anyone listed as an author must approve the final manuscript prior to submission. To account for this, Journal will contact all authors via e-mail at the point of submission.<br \/>\nOne of the authors should be appropriated as the corresponding author. His or her e-mail address or other contact information should thus be included.

If these methods and materials are already well established be sure to source them for consultation of further details, however, the bulk of the information necessary to understand the topics should be provided within the article. If the protocols used are newer or not as well-established, submission of the protocol in detail is encouraged as supporting information.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results, Discussion, and Conclusions<\/strong><br \/>\nThese sections may be organized all separately or various combinations of groups can be made. Some of such combinations can be as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>mixed Results\/Discussion section (commonly labelled &#8220;Results and Discussion&#8221;)<\/li>\n<li>mixed Discussion\/Conclusions section (commonly labeled &#8220;Discussion&#8221;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These sections<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maybe further divided into subsections, each with a concise subheading, as necessary<\/li>\n<li>Have no word limit<\/li>\n<li>Require language that is clear and concise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These sections should collectively describe the results, interpretation of results, and the subsequent conclusions drawn. A relationship must be made between the results and the hypothesis and authors must provide clear explanations of the implications of their findings. This includes the implications that arise through the comparison of the new results to those of related but previously established studies. It also includes determining the study\u2019s implications on the potential focus of future research.\u00a0Avoid overstating conclusions<\/p>\n<p><strong>Acknowledgments<\/strong><br \/>\nThose who do not qualify for authorship but have contributed to the work can be listed in the acknowledgments at the end of the manuscript. Their contributions should be listed along with their name(s). Prior to their inclusion in the acknowledgments, ensure that the individuals named.\u00a0Sources from which funding was received may also be named in the acknowledgments, or anywhere in the manuscript. This information should be provided during the manuscript submission process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References<\/strong><br \/>\nJournal follows the APA reference guide but also accepts other referencing methods such as MLA style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Figures and Tables<\/strong><br \/>\nAll figures and tables must be included in the manuscript.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Qualitative Research<\/strong><br \/>\nSome research questions such as those involving people\u2019s perspectives, experiences and interpretation are better studied by methods not involving numerical values or statistics. Such a method that can be used is qualitative research which does not use quantitative methods. The analysis methods are systematic, reproducible and explicit. Interviews, audio\/video recordings, text documents and free-form answers to surveys are examples of data sources that can be used qualitatively.<\/p>\n<p>Please submit your work by e-mail: oida@ontariointernational.org<\/p>\n<p>If you need any clarification regarding this please contact us<\/p>\n<p>Managing Editor<br \/>\nOIDA IJSD Journal<br \/>\nOntario International Development Agency<br \/>\n2581 River Mist Road<br \/>\nOttawa,<br \/>\nOntario, K2J 6G1,<br \/>\nCanada.<br \/>\nemail: oida@ontariointernational.org<br \/>\nTel:\u00a0\u00a0+ 1 613 612 7615<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OIDA International Journal of Sustainable Development Open access peer-reviewed journal\u00a0 Preparing Manuscript Format Requirements The required information concerning Title and Authorship is as follows: * Title of paper * Author and co-author(s) * Full institutional mailing addresses * E-mail addresses of all authors involved Manuscript Format and Style Please ensure all images, tables and figures are directly embedded into the manuscript.
