Submission Guidelines
An article submitted for publication should be actually presented at the MELOW Conference or it may be submitted in response to an issued open-call for submission. Any paper submitted to MEJO should be an original scholarly work, not presented or published elsewhere.
All papers submitted for publication will be peer-reviewed and the decision of the reviewers will be final. The guidelines for documentation are as follow:
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically typed in Microsoft Word (Times New Roman 12 font) in double spacing with 1” margin on both sides of the page. E-mail id for submission of manuscripts is melusmelow@gmail.com
The article should follow the MLA Handbook format (9th edition) wherein all references are placed in the body of the text (e.g. Hassan 15 or Toffler xi) with an alphabetically arranged “Works Cited” list at the end. Kindly note, reference footnotes/endnotes are not permissible. Articles not following this format of documentation will be summarily rejected. Some sample entries:
