All submissions should be made online through SAJM website available at the link http://sajm-amdisa.org. The manuscript should have a cover page with author details, followed by an Abstract, full paper, references and figures and tables if any. The manuscript should be typed in Times New Roman font size 12, with 1.5 line spacing and with margins of one inch on all sides. The normal size of a paper is about 8,000-10,000 words.

(Joint) Authorship of Papers: Authors should testify to the authenticity and originality of their papers. In case a paper has more authors than one, each of them has to separately testify that they have contributed to the paper and that it is an original creation by them. SAJM has a very strict anti-plagiarism policy and hence the authors are expected to submit only authentic and original works to SAJM. Any changes in the authorship after the initial submission and declaration should be supported by intimations to the Editor to that effect from the authors who are removed as well as those who are added.

Cover Page: Manuscript of a paper should have a cover page providing the title of the paper, the name(s), address(es), phone, fax numbers and e-mail address(es) of all authors and acknowledgements if any. In order to facilitate anonymous review of the papers, please restrict the author-related information only to the cover page

Abstract: Following the cover page, there should be an 'abstract' page, which should contain the title of the paper, the subtitle 'Abstract' and a summary of the paper in single space, not exceeding 150 words. The text of the paper should not start on this page, but on a fresh page with the title of the paper repeated.

References: References should be cited in the style prescribed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th ed.). Indicate the position of the reference in the text within brackets by the author's last name and the year of publication; e.g.: '(Porter, 1980)' or incorporate it into a sentence, e.g.: 'as pointed out by Hannan and Freeman (1977)'. At the end of the text, references should be listed in the alphabetical order of the last names of the authors, with a title REFERENCES. Examples of how the references are to be listed at the end of the paper are given below.

• (If it is a book): Porter, M.E. (1980) Competitive Strategy, New York: Free Press.
• (If it is an article in a journal): Hannan, M.T. and Freeman, J. (1977) The Population Ecology of Organizations, American Journal of Sociology, 82 (5): 929-964
• (If it is an article in an edited book): Kanter, R.M. (1988) When a Thousand Flowers Bloom. In B. Staw and L. Cummings (eds), Research in Organizational Behaviour, pp.169-211, Greenwich, CT: JAI Press.

Notes: Do not use footnotes. Minimize endnotes. If they are unavoidable, number them serially in the text using superscript and list them together on a separate sheet under the heading NOTES immediately following the text of the paper. Notes are not for citing a reference but for offering a significant explanation, which is important for understanding the text, but is tangential to the main idea discussed therein.

Figures and Tables: Each Figure/Table should be printed on a separate sheet. Figures and tables are to be separately numbered, titled and attached at the end of the text serially. The position of the figure or table should be indicated in the text on a separate line with the words "Table 1 about here".

Revised manuscripts: At the end of the blind review process, the editor informs the author about the acceptance or rejection of the manuscript. On acceptance, the author is expected to incorporate the modifications suggested by the reviewers, if any, and submit a soft copy of the final revised manuscript.

Policy against simultaneous submission: Authors should ensure that the manuscript submitted to SAJM is not simultaneously submitted to any other journal or publisher. Similarly, it should not be submitted anywhere else during the pendency of the review process which will take about 3-6 months. Once a manuscript is accepted by or published in SAJM, it becomes the property of AMDISA, whose permission is required for any operations covered by the Copyright Act.
