IJTD: Guidelines for the Contributors

• Manuscripts should be submitted in Duplicate. Articles should be typed on A-4 bond paper and on one side only, with generous margins on all four sides. An abstract of 200 words should accompany with article. The text, abstract notes, references and all other matter should be typed in double-space. Articles should not exceed 5000 words. Send a soft copy on 3.5" floppy on MS Word. All material submitted to the journal should be sent to The Editor, IJTD- Indian Journal of Training and Development, "Training House", B-41, Institutional Area, New Mehrauli Road, New Delhi- 110016. Contributors must provide their affiliations, complete mailing addresses (both postal and by e-mail), and phone and fax numbers.

• Limit the levels of headings within an article or two, or at the most three. Avoid lengthy headings, and do no number them.

• Notes should be typed on separate sheets, numbered serially and appended at the end of article. They should contain more than a mere reference.

• Where alternative forms exist, use 'z' in '-ze', '-ization' words. Use British spelling rather than American. Thus 'programme', not 'program'.

• Use single quotation marks, reserving Double quotes for quoted word within a quotation. Quotations in excess of 45 words should be set off from the text. Do not change the spellings of words in quotations from the original.

• Avoid excessive italicization of emphasis. Italicize titles books and journals, and all non-English words where these are likely to be unfamiliar to the average reader of IJTD. Do not italicize proper nouns in foreign languages. Use roman type for common terms like 'ibid', 'status quo' and 'et al'.

• Consistency should be observed in hyphenation. For example either 'psycho-social' or 'psychosocial' should be used through out the article. Distinguish between noun and attributive objective. e.g., 'the middle class' but middle-class ethics'.

• Capitalization should be kept minimum and applied consistently.

• Include a final stop in abbreviations (p., vol., ed.) but not in contractions (Dr, Mr, edn.eds). Acronyms should be spelled out on first occurrence. Do not use stops between capitals e.g. USA, ISTD

• Figures below 10 should be spelled out in words. Use figures (and not words) for exact measurements and percentages. Use thousands, millions, billions, not lakhs and crores.

• Use 'The eighties' and 'the twentieth century'.

• Tables and figures should be indicated by numbers (Table 1) not location (as in the Table below). Figures and tables should be presented on separate sheets and gathered at the end of the article, with third locations in the text clearly indicated. Sources and units of measurements should be stated.

• References should be embedded in the text in the anthropological style- for example, 'Moon (1994)' or 'Moon (1994:95)'. Citations should appear alphabetically- for example '(Moon 1994,; Sandee 1995, 1997; Zander 1993)'. The detailed style for referencing is:
  
  Korten, David, 1995. When cooperations Rule the World. San Francisco, CA: Berett-Kolcher. Spears, Larry (ed.) 1996. Reflections on Leadership. New York: Jhon Wiley.
  
  

• Book reviews must contain the name of author, title/ subtitle of the books reviewed, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, number of pages and the price.
