  • File Format: Submit your manuscript in a common format like Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, or RTF.
  • Formatting:
    • Use single spacing and 12-point font.
    • Emphasize text with italics, not underline (except URLs).
    • Include figures, tables, and illustrations within the text where they are mentioned.
  • Style and Citations:
    • Follow the APA 7th edition style guide for formatting references and citations.
    • Use Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC) for reference formatting in APA style (if applicable).
    • Include DOIs or URLs for references whenever available.
  • Author Guidelines: Ensure your manuscript adheres to all the instructions outlined in the IJODTIP Author Guidelines document.
