GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS
Submission Process: Follow the four stages of paper submission.
​
Publication Frequency: All About Ambedkar: A Journal on Theory and Praxis publishes one issue per year, comprising both special issues and general issues.
​
Call for Papers (CFP): The journal publishes CFP for both its general and special issues. Prospective contributors are advised to go through the scope of the journal as well as the current CFP before submitting their manuscripts.
​
Citation: The journal follows the style of citation recommended by the Modern Language Association (MLA). Manuscripts for the journal have to be prepared in accordance with the eighth edition of the MLA handbook. Basic MLA guidelines are to be found at Purdue Online Writing Lab.
​
Peer Review Process: Every submission to the journal is first read by the founding editor and run through plagiarism-checking software. If the submission is found original, previously unpublished and suitable for the journal, it is then sent for blind peer review. This means that the reviewers receive anonymous drafts and do not, in any way, get to know the identity of the authors. This rule applies to every contributor even if s/he is a member of the editorial board. The opinions of the reviewers, once received, are conveyed to the authors and in most of the cases revisions are sought. If the revisions are satisfactory, the article is then processed for publication. Decisions about the articles are finalized and conveyed to the contributors in less than a month from the date of submission.
​
Publication charges: The journal does not charge any publication fees from its contributors. We categorically oppose and strongly condemn any such malpractice.
​
Payment to the contributors: The journal is a voluntary, non-profit, non-commercial journal. As such, it does not pay any fees to its contributors.
