Nrityanjali Multidisciplinary International Research Journal
Authors submitting manuscripts to Nrityanjali Multidisciplinary International Research Journal must carefully review and adhere to the comprehensive publication guidelines outlined below.
1 Originality of Manuscript
All manuscripts submitted to Nrityanjali Multidisciplinary International Research Journal must be original, unpublished, and based on authentic academic or research work. A manuscript submitted to the journal must not have been previously published in any journal, book, conference proceeding, website, or other publication, and it must not be simultaneously submitted to another journal or publication. Authors are responsible for ensuring that the manuscript represents their own scholarly contribution and contains no unauthorized reproduction of previously published material. Any substantial overlap with the author's previous publications should be appropriately disclosed and referenced. The journal encourages manuscripts that provide a clear research contribution, new findings, innovative ideas, theoretical development, empirical evidence, or meaningful interpretation of existing knowledge. Submission of a manuscript implies that all authors have agreed to its submission and that the information provided in the manuscript is accurate and complete. The Editorial Board may reject manuscripts that are found to be previously published, simultaneously submitted elsewhere, substantially duplicated, or otherwise lacking sufficient originality.
2 Manuscript Format
Manuscripts should preferably be prepared using Microsoft Word format and submitted through the journal's prescribed submission system or official communication channel. The manuscript should be clearly typed, properly organized, and carefully proofread before submission. Authors should maintain consistency in font style, headings, paragraph formatting, tables, figures, citations, and references throughout the manuscript. The submitted file should contain all necessary sections of the research article and should be free from unnecessary formatting, comments, tracked changes, or personal notes that may interfere with the editorial and peer-review process. Authors should ensure that the manuscript is readable and that all tables, figures, charts, equations, and other materials are properly placed or clearly identified. The Editorial Office may return manuscripts that are incomplete, improperly formatted, difficult to read, or not prepared according to the basic requirements of the journal. Authors should also retain a complete copy of the submitted manuscript and supporting documents for their records.
3 Structure of Manuscript
A research article should normally be organized in a logical and systematic manner so that readers can clearly understand the purpose, methodology, findings, and significance of the research. Depending on the nature of the study, a manuscript should generally include the Title, Author Name(s), Institutional Affiliation, Corresponding Author's Email Address, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Review of Related Literature, Research Methodology, Results/Findings, Discussion, Conclusion, Recommendations or Implications where applicable, and References. Authors may include additional sections such as Research Questions, Hypotheses, Objectives, Theoretical Framework, Limitations, Data Analysis, or Future Scope according to the requirements of their discipline and research design. The sequence of sections may vary for review papers, conceptual papers, case studies, and other scholarly contributions. Each section should be clearly written, logically connected, and relevant to the research objectives. The manuscript should maintain academic consistency from the beginning to the end and should avoid unnecessary repetition or unrelated material.
4 Title, Abstract and Keywords
The title of the manuscript should be concise, specific, informative, and clearly representative of the research topic. It should enable readers to understand the central subject of the study without unnecessary wording. The abstract should provide a clear and concise summary of the research and should normally include the purpose or objectives of the study, research methodology, sample or data source where relevant, major findings, and principal conclusion. The abstract should be understandable independently of the main article and should not contain unnecessary references, unexplained abbreviations, or extensive discussion. Authors should provide appropriate keywords that accurately represent the main concepts, variables, subject area, or research themes of the manuscript. Keywords should be selected carefully to improve the discoverability and academic visibility of the article in search engines and scholarly databases. Authors should ensure that the title, abstract, and keywords are consistent with the actual content and findings of the manuscript.
5 Plagiarism Requirement
Academic originality is a mandatory requirement for publication in Nrityanjali Multidisciplinary International Research Journal. Authors must ensure that the Similarity/Plagiarism level of the submitted manuscript is below 10% before submission. It is the responsibility of the author or research scholar to have the manuscript checked through a reliable and recognized Plagiarism/Similarity Detection Software before submitting it to the journal. The author may be required to provide the relevant Similarity/Plagiarism Report along with the manuscript or whenever requested by the Editorial Board. Manuscripts showing a Similarity/Plagiarism level of 10% or above may be returned to the author for necessary revision or may be rejected. The Editorial Board may also conduct an independent similarity check during the editorial or publication process. The similarity percentage will be considered together with the nature and source of the matched content, since legitimate references, standard terminology, quotations, and commonly used academic expressions may sometimes generate similarity. Authors must properly cite and acknowledge all sources, ideas, data, quotations, and intellectual contributions obtained from other researchers. Plagiarism, duplicate publication, self-plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, or deliberate manipulation of similarity reports is strictly prohibited.
6 References and Citations
Authors must ensure that all sources used in the manuscript are properly cited within the text and accurately included in the reference list. References should be relevant, reliable, and directly related to the research topic. Authors should carefully verify the spelling of author names, publication years, article titles, journal names, volume and issue numbers, page numbers, DOI information, and other bibliographic details wherever applicable. Every source cited in the manuscript should appear in the reference list, and every reference included in the reference list should be appropriately cited within the manuscript. Authors should follow a consistent citation and referencing style throughout the manuscript as specified by the journal or applicable academic discipline. Fabricated, incomplete, misleading, irrelevant, or intentionally manipulated references are not permitted. Authors should avoid unnecessary self-citation and citation practices intended only to increase citation counts. References should be used to support academic arguments, establish the research background, and acknowledge previous scholarly contributions. The Editorial Board may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete references before publication.
7 Tables, Figures and Data
All tables, figures, graphs, charts, photographs, diagrams, equations, and other supporting materials included in a manuscript should be directly relevant to the research and should contribute to the clear presentation of information. Each table and figure should be appropriately numbered and provided with a clear and meaningful title or caption. Tables and figures should be referred to within the main text and should appear in a logical sequence. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all data presented in tables, figures, graphs, and statistical analyses are accurate, authentic, and consistent with the methodology and findings of the study. Data must not be fabricated, falsified, manipulated, or selectively presented in a misleading manner. If any table, figure, photograph, instrument, or other material has been reproduced or adapted from another source, the appropriate source and permission should be provided where required. Figures should be sufficiently clear and readable for online publication. Authors may be requested to provide original or editable files of figures and supporting materials where necessary.
8 Authorship
Authorship should be based on substantial and genuine academic contribution to the research. Individuals listed as authors should have made meaningful contributions to the conception, design, research process, data collection or analysis, interpretation of findings, or development of the manuscript. All listed authors must approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission and publication. The corresponding author is responsible for communication with the Editorial Office and should ensure that all authors are aware of the submission and publication process. Gift, honorary, guest, or ghost authorship is not permitted. Individuals who have provided limited assistance but do not meet the criteria for authorship may be acknowledged appropriately. Any addition, removal, or change in the order of authors after submission must be supported by a valid reason and approved by the concerned authors and the Editorial Board. Authors should also disclose any relevant conflict of interest, funding support, or institutional relationship that may influence the research or publication process.
9 Ethical Compliance
Authors are required to comply with generally accepted standards of research and publication ethics. Where research involves human participants, surveys, interviews, personal information, sensitive data, experiments, or vulnerable groups, authors should follow applicable ethical requirements and obtain appropriate ethical approval or informed consent wherever necessary. Authors must protect the privacy, dignity, confidentiality, and rights of research participants. Research involving animals should comply with applicable ethical and welfare standards. The research methodology, data collection procedures, statistical analysis, and findings must be reported honestly and accurately. Fabrication, falsification, manipulation of data, plagiarism, duplicate publication, unethical authorship practices, and other forms of academic misconduct are strictly prohibited. Authors must disclose any relevant conflict of interest and funding or institutional support where applicable. The journal reserves the right to request ethical approval documents, consent statements, research instruments, or other supporting information when necessary. Failure to comply with applicable ethical requirements may result in rejection, withdrawal, correction, or retraction of the manuscript depending on the nature and seriousness of the issue.
10 Peer Review
All manuscripts submitted to the journal are subject to an initial editorial assessment followed, where appropriate, by the journal's Double-Blind Peer Review process. During double-blind review, the identities of the authors and reviewers are kept confidential to maintain impartiality and reduce potential bias. The Editorial Team first assesses whether the manuscript is relevant to the journal's scope and meets basic requirements relating to originality, quality, structure, ethics, and plagiarism. Suitable manuscripts are then sent to qualified reviewers with relevant subject expertise. Reviewers may evaluate the originality, research objectives, literature review, methodology, data analysis, interpretation, academic contribution, references, and overall quality of the manuscript. Based on editorial and reviewer recommendations, a manuscript may be accepted, returned for minor or major revision, or rejected. Authors receiving revision requests should carefully address the comments and submit a revised manuscript within the specified period. The final publication decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief or authorized Editorial Board, and peer review does not constitute a guarantee of publication.
11 Revision of Manuscripts
When reviewers or the Editorial Board request revisions, authors are expected to carefully consider and appropriately address all comments and recommendations. The revised manuscript should clearly incorporate the required changes and should maintain the academic quality and integrity of the original research. Where appropriate, authors should provide a separate response indicating how each major reviewer comment has been addressed. Changes should not introduce unsupported claims, inaccurate information, or inconsistencies in the research. Authors should ensure that revised tables, figures, references, statistical analyses, and other sections remain consistent with the revised text. Revised manuscripts should be submitted within the period specified by the Editorial Office. If additional time is required, authors should communicate with the Editorial Office before the deadline. Depending on the extent of revision, the revised manuscript may be returned to the original reviewers for further assessment. Submission of a revised manuscript does not automatically guarantee acceptance, as the final decision will depend on the quality of the revisions and the overall academic suitability of the manuscript.
12 Final Decision and Publication
The final decision regarding publication is made by the Editor-in-Chief or authorized Editorial Board after considering the manuscript's academic quality, originality, relevance, ethical compliance, peer-review reports, and satisfactory completion of any required revisions. A manuscript may be accepted for publication only after it has successfully completed the applicable editorial and review process. Following final acceptance, the manuscript may undergo editorial formatting, language correction, proofreading, reference checking, and other production-related procedures before publication. Authors may be contacted during this stage to clarify information or approve necessary corrections. Authors are expected to carefully review the final proof and communicate any genuine errors within the specified period. Once the article is published, it becomes part of the journal's official scholarly record. Any substantial error identified after publication will be handled according to the journal's Correction and Retraction Policy. Acceptance of a manuscript indicates editorial approval for publication but does not transfer responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the research away from the authors.
13 Copyright and Open Access
Nrityanjali Multidisciplinary International Research Journal follows an Open Access approach intended to provide wider access to published scholarly research. Authors are responsible for ensuring that the manuscript and all materials included in it are original or appropriately authorized for use. Authors must obtain necessary permissions for copyrighted photographs, figures, tables, instruments, datasets, illustrations, or other third-party materials wherever required. By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that the work has not been published elsewhere in a manner that conflicts with the publication rights granted to the journal. Upon acceptance and publication, the necessary rights to publish, reproduce, distribute, display, archive, and make the article publicly available are granted to the journal in accordance with its applicable copyright and licensing terms. Published articles may be accessed through the journal's online platform according to its Open Access policy. Readers and authors should provide proper citation and acknowledgement when using or referring to published material. Any reuse of published content must comply with the applicable copyright and licensing conditions.
14 Author Responsibility
Authors are fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, authenticity, academic quality, ethical integrity, and scholarly content of their submitted manuscripts. Authors must ensure that all information, data, research findings, references, tables, figures, and supporting materials are accurate and properly presented. Authors are responsible for complying with the journal's Publication Ethics, Plagiarism Policy, Authorship Policy, Research Ethics Policy, Copyright Policy, Peer Review Policy, and other applicable guidelines.
