Author Guidelines

Authors of Sciences du Nord Humanities and Social Sciences Journal must adhere to the following guidelines:

• The authorship should balance intellectual contributions to the conception, design, analysis, and writing of the manuscript against other work about the research. If no task can reasonably be attributed to a particular individual, this individual should not be credited with the authorship.
• Authors must declare that the work reported is their own and that they are the copyright owner (or else have obtained the copyright owner's permission).
• Authors must declare that the submitted article and its essential content have not previously been published and are not being considered for publication elsewhere.
• The author should avoid disputes over the attribution of academic credit. Therefore, it is helpful to decide early on who will be credited as the corresponding author, and contributors, and who will be acknowledged.
• Authors must take public responsibility for the content of their papers. It is unethical to submit a manuscript to more than one journal concurrently.
• Any conflict of interest must be clearly stated.
• Authors must acknowledge their research's data sources and financial support sources to the research if any.
• All errors discovered in the manuscript after submission must be quickly communicated to the Editor.
• Authors should state that the relevant research ethics committee or institutional review board has approved the papers they submit. If human participants were involved, manuscripts must be accompanied by a statement that the participants had signed informed consent forms.
• Authors should submit a short description of all contributions to their manuscript. Each author's contribution should be described in brief. Authors of research papers should state whether they have complete access to the study data that supports the publication. Contributors who do not qualify as authors should also be listed and their particular contributions described. This information should appear as an acknowledgment.
• Authors should include information about their research funding in their manuscripts.
• Authors have a right to appeal editorial decisions.
