- All equations should be numbered as per the style: Equation 1, Equation 2, etc. MathType is recommended to be used.
- All figures should be in high-resolution format with 300+ dpi.
- Please ensure that the figures and tables are positioned in close proximity to their respective references within the main body of the article.
- All equation numbers should be referenced in close proximity to their corresponding equations in the main text.
- In-text citations should be numbered in the list; they should be cited by the same number in the manuscript. The citation numbers start at [1] and continue in ascending order throughout the manuscript. Each in-text citation number should be enclosed by square brackets and appear on the text line with a space before the brackets. For example, the in-text citation should be numbered as [1].
- For multiple in-text citations, the citations must be ordered in ascending order as [2][3] and [4] or [5][6][8] and [12].
- Declaration of Author Contribution for each author.
- Declaration of Generative AI Usage. Authors are required to include a clear "Artificial Intelligence (AI) Use Declaration" in the manuscript to ensure transparency and compliance with publication ethics. The declaration should state whether AI tools were used and, if so, specify the name of the tool, its purpose (e.g., language editing, data analysis), the extent of its use, and confirm that all content was reviewed and verified by the authors. If no AI tools were used, this must be explicitly stated. AI tools must not be listed as authors, and authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the manuscript.

Article Publication Charges
IJG publishes 12 issues per year (monthly) online.
The standard Article Processing Charge (APC) for IJG is USD 650. Authors may opt for fast-track publication, with an expedited review and publication timeline of 2–3 weeks, for an APC of USD 850. The fast-track option does not imply acceptance without revision. It only allows for a shorter editorial and review processing time.
Open Access will guarantee that anyone can read and download the paper online. This enhances citation and your professional growth. An invoice will be sent to the author before final acceptance of the paper.
English Proofing
It is strongly encouraged for all non-native English-speaking authors, as many reviewers often raise concerns about language issues in submitted papers. If the authors wish to use the proofreading and editing service prior to submitting their paper, it can be arranged at a nominal cost of US$150.
IJG will send a paper for review only after the English editing and proofreading have been completed. Once the final version is resubmitted, the paper will be proofread again before publication.
Review Process:
The review will be conducted online by three peer reviewers and will follow a double blind review process. The authors' names and affiliations will not be disclosed to the reviewers.
The review process typically takes about 4-6 weeks, and the paper can be published within 4–6 weeks after acceptance. The timeline may be expedited if the authors respond promptly to the reviewers' comments.
Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The utilization of AI and AI-assisted tools during manuscript preparation is permitted strictly for enhancing language and readability.
These technologies must not substitute fundamental research responsibilities. Specifically, AI cannot be used to conduct literature reviews, generate scientific insights, analyze or interpret data, formulate scientific conclusions, or design maps and diagrams.
If AI is used, it must be applied with active human supervision and explicitly disclosed in the work. Authors should remain vigilant, as AI systems can produce responses that seem authoritative but are actually inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. Ultimately, the authors bear full responsibility and accountability for all content and outcomes presented in the manuscript.
