POLICIES 

Papers submitted to the JKG should be original, unpublished and  not  under consideration for any other publication.  All submissions must comply with JKG copyright declaration . 

By submitting an article, the author warrants that the work is not an infringement of any existing copyrights and will indemnify the journal against any breach of such warranty. 

Papers must be submitted in well-written English with the general audience in mind.  If uncommon terminologies are used, the meanings have to be explained. 

If accepted papers do not meet the language standards of the journal, authors will be responsible for revising them, enlisting professional help if necessary. To that end, we encourage soliciting feedback from author’s colleagues prior to submission.
