Manuscript Organization

JGKSD welcomes original research articles that address the aims and scope of the journal. Authors enjoy flexibility in the length of their articles. While there is flexibility in the length of research articles, all manuscripts must include the key sections, including the title, abstract, introduction, methodology, results and discussion, conclusions, figures and tables with captions, and any supplementary material (if required). Maintain a font size of 12 in Times New Roman throughout the manuscript (with an exception to the font size of tables, figures, and footnotes). Utilize the APA reference style for citations and bibliographies. Use reference management software for accurate formatting. JGKSD publishes one volume comprising six annual editions, providing a conducive platform for diverse and comprehensive research contributions.
