Submissions
Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
-
The submission file is in Microsoft Word (*.doc/*.docx) file format.
Please do not submit *.pdf file as it cannot be edited. - The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
- The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the 7th edition of APA.
- The submission should include a biography introducing all authors contributing to the article.
- Please register an ORCID before submission via this link https://orcid.org/register (mandatory).
- If your article has been published in another language in another journal (e.g., a Chinese version in a Chinese journal), that's fine, and we accept re-publishing in another language. However, it is your responsibility to obtain the permission of the previously published journal and indicate it in this publication. Failing to do so may elicit retraction after publication, which is a severe issue.
- Please note that JLT is implementing Article Processing Charges (APCs) to maintain the essential operation. You need to pay APCs only after your manuscript is accepted.
