6. Results and Discussion (Findings with interpretations, supported by tables and figures)
7. Conclusion (Summary of research findings and future scope)
8. References (Formatted in [APA/IEEE/Harvard] style – specify based on journal preference)

Formatting Guidelines

• Page Limit: 6-12 pages (including references, figures, and tables)
• Figures & Tables: High-quality images (300 DPI); numbered and captioned correctly

File Format

2. Ethical Standards

• Originality: Manuscripts must be original and free from plagiarism (>15% similarity is not acceptable).

• Data Integrity: Falsification or fabrication of data is strictly prohibited.

All submissions undergo plagiarism screening using tools like Turnitin/iThenticate.

3. Peer Review Process

JGREC follows a double-blind peer review process:

1. Initial Screening: The editorial team assesses suitability.
2. Peer Review: Manuscripts are reviewed by at least two experts in the field.
3. Revision & Decision: Authors may be asked to revise the manuscript. The final decision (Accepted/Rejected) is based on reviewers’ feedback.
4. Publication: Accepted papers are published online and assigned a DOI.

The entire review process typically takes 4-6 weeks.

4. Article Processing Charges (APCs)

• APC: $50 (USD) or ₹1500 (INR) per article (includes peer review, editing, and publication).
• Waivers & Discounts: Available for authors from low-income countries or in special cases upon request.
