·   In order to submit an article, authors need to submit their manuscript through the journal’s submission platform (OJS URL submission link) or in case of any problem, authors need to either forward their manuscript to the journal’s official email address (info@consulttrainserv.com) or send a softcopy of their manuscript to the journal’s office address (Suit A9 Bethany Plaza, Odenigbo Road, Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria).

Language quality of a manuscript must be of high standard, and this responsibility rests with the author. The Editor-In-Chief reserves the right to request author(s) to provide a copy of the manuscript's language editing report and proof that it has been reviewed by a statistician. In order to ensure that manuscripts are in line with the journal's stylistic model, JCTS offers minor copy-editing after acceptance. The abstract of the paper should be between 200 and 250 words and should include at least five key words that are arranged in alphabetical order.

·   There is no ambiguity in the journal's referencing style, as it strictly follows the American Psychological Association's Citation Style. It is recommended that author(s) consult the most recent edition of the APA Referencing Manual for more information. A sample article of a current issue of the journal can also be checked by authors.   

·   Submitted papers must not have been previously published in another journal or be under review for publication by any other journal at the time of submission to JCTS.
