Detailed Guidelines For Journal Contributors
All journals published by the Revival Press are peer reviewed. All articles received are evaluated by the Editors in Chief of the relevant journal and thereafter, as appropriate, the manuscript is blind reviewed by one or more expert reviewers from within or outside of the editorial team of the journal. The review process can take up to two months, although exceptions to this time frame may occur. After receiving comments from reviewer(s), notification of acceptance, rejection or need for revision will be given to the corresponding author.
We do not accept submissions prepared completely or in part with the help of artificial intelligence. All submissions will be checked for plagiarism and must be in the contributor(s) own words, except for quotations from published and unpublished sources which are required to be appropriately cited in accordance with the academic standards. The source of any picture, map, data, illustration, and any other material not resulting from the contributor(s) own research, regardless the source is published or unpublished, must also be indicated and acknowledged. Incorporation of material from other works or a paraphrase of such material without acknowledgement will, subject to the standard academic custom and usage, be treated as plagiarism.
The Revival Press believes in and promotes academic freedom in line with the EU’s recognised standards of research Ethics in Social Science and Humanities and the UK ESRC framework for research ethics. Contributing authors are free to explore their professional interests, thoughts and ideas; investigate a wide range of phenomena from their own perspectives; and set their research agenda for critical, analytical and innovative interventions in a field.
However, we expect that our contributing authors are fully committed to the standards of ethical considerations for research in social sciences and humanities. Academic freedom has its limits, and a researcher has considerable responsibility to: the people involved in the research and their rights, safety, well-being and interests (or dignity, integrity, rights, and autonomy); communities that are engaged and involved in the research; and society at large, in terms of the contributions research can make in effecting socially useful and valued development and change, but also in terms of avoiding potential misuse or unintended consequences of research results.
We are committed to publish research which follows an adequate and appropriate approach to academic freedom and takes seriously the ethics dimensions of research. Contributing authors are encouraged to read the EU recognised standards of research Ethics in Social Science and Humanities and the UK ESRC framework for research ethics before submission of their work for publication.
Any concerns regarding the standards of ethical considerations will result in the immediate suspension of the review process of submitted work until such concerns are adequately addressed by the contributing authors. Contributing authors must address any concerns by the editors or reviewers on ethics issues before their work is accepted for publication. Submitted work that fails to meet the ethical standards or fail to address concerns of editors and reviewers on ethical standards will be rejected.
Authors must refer to our journals’ formatting and citations style document before making a submission.
Submissions must be original unpublished work and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
The text of your submission must be typed in Times New Roman point-size 12 and 1.0 spaced, and single spaced between paragraphs.
The first page must give: title of paper, author name/s, and brief author information including emails of all authors.
An abstract of no more than 250 words and 3 to 5 keywords must be included with all submissions.
British spellings of English language and punctuation conventions is used throughout (except in quotations from other sources, where the original convention should be retained).
Headings style and their numbering must be in accordance with the journal style.
Footnotes are used (not endnotes or in-text citations) and should be kept as brief as possible and used primarily for reference purposes; explanatory notes are discouraged. Footnotes must be in accordance with the journal style of referencing.
The author/s shall be responsible for submitting the manuscript in final copy-edited form.
Corresponding authors will receive a PDF proof of their article by email and it is essential that a current email address of corresponding author(s) is supplied with all manuscripts. Proofing instructions will accompany the PDF file. The proof should be checked immediately upon receipt and returned as per covering instructions. Only essential corrections should be made at this stage. The Revival Press or our editors will not be responsible for any mistakes arising from any necessary in-house copy-editing.
