Manuscript Submission<\/h4>\nMadhya Pradesh Journal of Social Sciences (MPJSS) welcomes research papers for the dissemination of original research, analytical paper, and paper based on literature review on any aspects of social sciences. Research papers should be submitted electronically to the Editor, MPJSS \nat mpjssujjain@gmail.com<\/a><\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Review System<\/h4>\nEvery research paper will be reviewed by masked reviewers. The criteria for acceptance of papers are contemporary relevance, contribution to knowledge, logical analysis, and sound methodology for research papers. 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 the citation style of the submitted paper without requesting for external review.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Basic Format of the Manuscript<\/h4>\nContributors must include their affiliations, and postal and E-mail address with their papers and book reviews. Research papers should be written in MS Word (1.5-spaced) format ranging between 3500 to 5000 words. It must be accompanied by an abstract of 100 words and necessary keywords. MPJSS accepts reviews of a scholarly book on social sciences (1500-2000 words).\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Spellings and numerical usages <\/h4>\nUse British spellings in all cases instead of American spellings (hence \u2018programme\u2019 not \u2018program\u2019, \u2018labour\u2019 not \u2018labor\u2019). Use \u2018s\u2019 spelling instead of \u2018z\u2019 spelling (hence \u2018organise\u2019 not \u2018organize\u2019). 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 not %)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Quotation, notes, tables, and figures<\/h4>\nUse 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.
\nMPJSS 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.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
