Author Guidelines

Manuscript Structure

Authors should prepare their manuscripts according to the following structure:

1. Title

The title should be concise, informative, specific, and reflective of the main content of the manuscript. The title is recommended to contain 10–15 words and should clearly indicate the focus of the research.

The title must be written in English using Title Case, Times New Roman, 14 pt, bold, 1.5 line spacing, and centered on the page.

2. Author Information

The full names of all authors must be provided without academic or professional degrees. The manuscript must include:

• the institutional affiliation of each author;
• the full institutional address, including the postal code; and
• an active email address.

For manuscripts with more than one author, the order of authors must be clearly stated, and a corresponding author must be appropriately designated.

3. Abstract

The abstract must be written in English and provide a concise overview of the research. It should generally include the research background, objectives, methodology, key findings, and research implications.

The abstract should contain approximately 100–150 words.

4. Keywords

Authors should provide 5–6 keywords that accurately represent the main concepts, themes, or variables discussed in the manuscript.

Keywords should be specific, relevant, and representative of the research topic.

5. Introduction

The Introduction should provide the context of the research and explain the significance of the research problem. It may include:

• research background;
• research gap;
• recent developments in the field;
• relevant theoretical perspectives;
• research objectives or questions; and
• the contribution and novelty of the research.

The Introduction should clearly demonstrate the novelty and contribution of the study to the advancement of knowledge.

6. Method

The Method section should describe the research process in sufficient detail. Depending on the research design, this section may include:

• research approach or design;
• population and sample or data sources;
• measurement instruments and procedures;
• data collection techniques; and
• data analysis methods.

The methodology should be described clearly enough for readers to understand the research process and, where possible, replicate the study.

7. Results

The Results section should present the main findings obtained from the analysis. Authors should report analyzed data that are relevant to the research objectives, rather than raw data or unnecessary information.

Statistical results, model estimates, tables, figures, and other forms of analysis may be presented where they directly support the research objectives.

8. Discussion

The Discussion should be presented as a separate section from the Results. It should interpret the research findings and explain their meaning in relation to the research questions or objectives.

Authors should relate their findings to relevant theories and previous studies, particularly recent national and international scholarly literature.

The Discussion should also explain similarities and differences between the findings and previous research and address relevant theoretical, practical, managerial, policy, and other implications.

9. Conclusion

The Conclusion should provide a concise synthesis of the main research findings and their implications in relation to the research objectives and hypotheses, where applicable.

The Conclusion should emphasize the contribution of the research rather than merely restating the results of statistical tests.

Where relevant, authors may also present the limitations of the study and recommendations for future research.

10. References

The reference list should contain only sources that are actually cited in the manuscript.

Authors are encouraged to use high-quality primary sources, particularly articles published in peer-reviewed national and international scholarly journals.

The literature cited should primarily be drawn from publications from the last 10 years. Classical references and seminal works may be included where necessary to explain fundamental theories or concepts underlying the research.

Authors must ensure consistency between in-text citations and the reference list.

References should be arranged alphabetically according to the surname of the first author or the name of the institution. JSVGR recommends the use of the Harvard citation style and reference management tools such as Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote.

Originality and Author's Statement

Authors must ensure that submitted manuscripts are original works and have not previously been published, either in whole or in part, in journals, conference proceedings, magazines, newspapers, books, anthologies, or any other form of publication.

Manuscripts must not be simultaneously submitted to or under consideration by another journal or publisher.

Authors are responsible for obtaining the necessary permissions for the use of copyrighted materials belonging to third parties.

Where required, authors must submit a Statement of Originality confirming the originality and publication status of the manuscript. The statement form can be obtained from the journal's official website.

Ethics and Publication Standards

All submitted manuscripts must comply with the journal's policies concerning publication ethics, plagiarism, authorship, conflicts of interest, research integrity, and the peer-review process.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts comply with all applicable requirements before completing the submission process.

Journal of Sustainable Value and Governance Review (JSVGR) reserves the right to return or reject manuscripts that do not comply with the Author Guidelines, ethical standards, or publication requirements established by the journal.
