Submitting to IGI Global journals
What we hold as IGI Global’s house rules, and where each one was read. A journal’s own guide for authors always comes first: a rule here is used only where that guide is silent.

What the journal decides, not IGI Global
These vary between IGI Global journals, so we do not hold a house value for them. Your journal’s own guide for authors is where to look.
Citation format · Reference format at submission · Abstract · Keywords, fewest · Keywords, most · Separate title page · Line numbering · Figure resolution, floor · Line art resolution · Greyscale resolution · Colour resolution · Cover letter · Declarations
