AJCD has updated its submission guidelines, specifically its word limits for all article types. Please familiarise yourself with the updated word limits and take note that word limits for all article types are now inclusive of tables, figures, graphs, and references. You are encouraged to adhere to these updated word limits. Doing so will align with field-specific norms in terms of article length and, for accepted articles and where applicable, may have the benefit of better aligning with APC funding allocation limits at your institution. The Editor-in-Chief and Editorial Team look forward to seeing your submissions! | |
