Plagiarism

Authors are not allowed to utilize verbatim text of previously published papers or manuscripts submitted elsewhere.

 Plagiarism Detection

Journal of Iranian Public Administration Studies uses Hamyab Plagiarism Detection Tool to electronically verify the originality of written work.

 Submission

To submit a manuscript, first make sure you have a Word file from which the title page and all author-identifying references have been removed. Acknowledgements of others’ help in preparing the paper for submission should be included in the letter to the editor that is featured as part of the web-based submission process.

In order to facilitate processing of submissions, please make sure that:

There is nothing in your file that identifies the authors.

Your entire submission (including references) is double-spaced in 12-pitch or larger font with margins of one inch or more.

Your submission contains few and only necessary footnotes or endnotes.

Any hypotheses are explicitly identified as such.

Constructs and variables are identified in words, not abbreviations.

 Literature citations

Literature citations should be made in a uniform style in text and footnotes, and follow the APA System with (Name, Date) in the text and an alphabetical list of references at the end of the manuscript.
