Author Guidelines

EBONY accepts articles written in clear, grammatically correct English that have not been previously published and are not under consideration by any other journal. Manuscripts written in languages other than English will be automatically rejected without editorial review.

Authors should adjust their manuscript to the following convention:

The manuscript should be typed in Microsoft Office Word current year format, using 12 font size of Times New Roman, 1.15 lines spacing, A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper size, with a length of 3,500-7,000 words including references, notes, and tables.

The language used in the manuscript should meticulously be checked for grammar and diction before submission. The cited works in the article should follow the current APA-7 Style.

The similarity index of your manuscript must not exceed 20%, excluding the reference list. Please ensure that your manuscript is free from plagiarism and data fabrication. Manuscripts with a similarity score above 20% will be returned to the author(s) for revision before editorial review.

The manuscript should contain the following section:

  • Title
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Introduction
  • Methods
  • Results
  • Discussion
  • Conclusion
  • Acknowledgement (if any)
