Writing Rules
Although the Rhodes Global Journal of Social Sciences contains writing rules that are specific to disciplines, it has a general framework that includes the following elements:
1. Headings and Subheadings: Headings must comply with a certain format and style. Subheadings should also follow this order.
2. Abstract: The abstract of the article should emphasize the basis and importance of the study, usually it is necessary to comply with a certain word limit.
3. Main Text: The language used in the article should be scientific and clear. A logical structure, clear arguments and supporting evidence are expected.
4. References: References to other works should be arranged according to a specific referencing style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.).
5. Tables and Figures: It is important that the tables and figures presented are numbered, their titles and subheadings are clear, and they are compatible with the text.
6. Bibliography: It is important to cite the sources used in a complete and orderly manner, generally expecting compliance with a certain bibliographical style.
7. Code of Ethics: Compliance with research ethics is of great importance, especially in experiments and data collection processes conducted on humans or animals.
8. Peer Review: Articles are generally evaluated by independent referees, and authors are expected to respond to these evaluations respectfully and positively.
