MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

SEA-CECCEP publishes the following article types:

  • Full Research article

A full research article presents an original research focus with clear articulation of its significance, a scientifically acceptable methodology, and critical analysis and discussion of the findings. The components of the article consist of Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion, and References (see Manuscript Template/Manuscript Preparation). The article should be typed in A4 size paper and within 15 pages or 5,000 – 6,500 words (all texts). Papers, in English with spelling conforming to the Standard English, should be typed in Times New Roman font at 12-point size, one and a half spaced with margins on all four sides of 2 cm on standard A4 paper.

  • Short communication

This differs from a full paper on the basis of scope or completeness, rather than quality of research. It may report significant new data arising from problems with narrow, well-defined limits, or important findings that warrant rapid publication before broader studies are complete. It should be between 1,500 – 3,000 words or approximately 6 - 12 pages of typescript). Papers, in English with spelling conforming to the Standard English, should be typed in Times New Roman font at 12-point size, one and a half spaced with margins on all four sides of 2 cm on standard A4 paper. When submitting a Short Communication, authors should make it clear that their work is to be treated as such.

 

  • Review article

A review article summarizes previously published studies and the current state of understanding on a topic rather than reporting new facts or analysis. It should be between 1,500 – 3,000 words or approximately 6 - 12 pages of typescript. Papers, in English with spelling conforming to the Standard English, should be typed in Times New Roman font at 12-point size, one and a half spaced with margins on all four sides of 2 cm on standard A4 paper. When submitting a Review Article, authors should make it clear that their work is to be treated as such.
