Authors’ Corner
Review Process
JTPP encourages the author(s) to initially submit an abstract not exceeding 250 words which could be uploaded in JTPP website: https://jtpp.uk/submit-abstract/; alternatively, the author(s) may send the abstract via email to: submission@jtpp.uk
JTPP, once accepts the abstract after internal assessment, calls for the complete manuscript, preferably in the range of 6,000 to 8,000 words which based on the set guidelines, within the stipulated time frame, the author(s) may upload in JTPP website: https://jtpp.uk/submit-article/; alternatively, the author(s) are also encouraged to submit the articles via email to: submission@jtpp.uk.
Peer-Review: JTPP would send all the submitted articles for ‘double-blind review’ by the best related scholar-practitioner as available in the JTPP database.
JTPP ensures that the entire peer-review process remains confidential and objective, and the reviewers, independent of journal publications, would have no conflict of interest; they would aim to evaluate the quality of work determining that the contemplative cutting edge research is rigorous, coherent and contributes to the discipline.
JTPP would collate the two external review reports and without, however, disclosing the identity of the reviewer(s), send a consolidated report to the author(s) for necessary modifications, if any, for final acceptance.
JTPP nevertheless reserves the right to reject any article said to be submitted with adaptation, if any, and the decision of the Editor-in-Chief would be deemed final and binding.
Submission Guidelines
By submitting article(s) to JTPP in the prescribed manner, the author(s) accept the terms and conditions of the JTPP confirming that the submitted article(s) have not been previously published, nor be forthcoming in any journal or book both in print or electronic versions, and the author(s) own the copyright of the work or otherwise authorised by the copyright owner(s) to submit the article(s); the author(s) further warrant that the submitted article(s) are not currently under review at another journal(s) (electronic or print) and that the author(s) will not submit the article(s) to another journal(s) (electronic or print) until the editorial decision process gets over at JTPP.

Post-Publication Discussions and Corrections: While the information contained in this journal is believed to be true and accurate at the time of publication, in the event of any discrepancy being noticed later, one may write to the publisher at am@jtpp.uk mentioning the error, the correction, and how it can impact the paper. JTPP will then either update the online version or add a note, comment, or erratum.
General Complaints: Anybody wishing to raise a concern or make a complaint about any aspect of being published in JTPP may email to the publisher at am @jtpp.uk. Please note, JTPP does not provide oversight or comment on editorial decision making on any of our publications.
JTPP endeavours to acknowledge receipt of an email within 3 business days. Our investigation will thus begin following COPE guidelines. The investigation will establish whether the correct procedures have been followed. JTPP will review the submission history and any correspondence between the author, editor/publisher and reviewers. JTPP may also get in touch with the parties involved to obtain further information where necessary and in accordance with GDPR regulations.
The complainant will be advised of the outcome in writing. JTPP aims to resolve issues as swiftly as possible or within six weeks, though sometimes investigations may, however, take several weeks or more depending on the nature of the concern or complaint, the availability of relevant data and information, whether multiple authors are involved, and possible involvement of the authors’ institution or other external parties.

JTPP uses ‘single’ quotation marks; “double” quotation marks would be applicable only for ‘quotations “within” quotations’; longer quotes (exceeding 40 words) should be indented without any quotation mark in 11 pt size.
Footnotes/Endnotes: In JTPP, only endnotes will appear; author(s) would insert superscripted figures as notes by using the function in MS Word.
In subsequent notes, ‘ibid.’ and ‘op.cit.’ need to be avoided.
Page numbers will appear as p.33 or pp.33-39.
In citing reference of any website, the URL with retrieval date(s) will be mentioned.
Biographical statement: In JTPP, the bio-sketch of the forthcoming contributors would be published; the biographical statement, to be submitted by the author(s), need to be brief (not exceeding 75 words) which should include present position and institutional affiliation, particulars of the highest academic degree obtained, present research interest, current position in a professional society/organisation, if any, and the particulars of the recent (co-)authored or edited publications.
Figures, Tables, and Exhibits having Arabic numerals with short, descriptive captions should be sent on separate pages in JPG (high resolution, ideally 720+)/MS Word/Xlsx documents as attachments.
Corrections
In spite of taking utmost care by both the editorial team and the contributors, in case of any error being noticed, JTPP undertakes immediate correction(s) in the e-Pub and MOBI; since printing is carried out invariably after 7 days from the date of release of the e-versions, modifications, if any, are, therefore, suitably accommodated in the print versions. In the event of any error still persists, JTPP will insert errata inside the print copies and conspicuously mention the revisions made.
