Paper Submission Standards

To maintain academic integrity and uphold global publishing standards, the AJHE requires all submissions to comply with the following editorial and ethical guidelines. Submissions that do not meet these criteria will be rejected without review.

 

1. Originality and Publication Status

All submitted manuscripts must be original works of the authors and:

  • Must not have been published previously in any journal, conference, or repository

  • Must not be under consideration or review by any other journal or publisher at the time of submission

  • Must clearly acknowledge and reference any reused or adapted material

Authors are responsible for ensuring the authenticity of their content and its exclusive submission to AJHE.

 

2. Plagiarism and Similarity Index

To uphold ethical standards:

  • All submissions will undergo a plagiarism check using standard software

  • Manuscripts with a similarity index above 20% will be automatically rejected

  • Self-plagiarism, unreferenced quotations, or copy-paste from previous works will not be tolerated

Authors may be asked to revise and resubmit in borderline cases, but repeated violations will result in blacklisting from future submissions.

 

3. Language of Submission

  • English is the only accepted language for submissions.

  • Manuscripts must be grammatically accurate and professionally written.

Authors may be advised to seek professional language editing services prior to submission if required.
