Manuscripts must be 6,000-8,000 words, which includes notes and references. Metadata like the author biography, keywords, and abstract should entered on PubKit, not on the manuscript itself.

Manuscripts must be fully anonymous for blind peer review. This includes right-clicking on your document's 'Properties', selecting 'Details', and selecting 'Remove Properties and Information' so you can remove your name from the 'Authors' and 'Last Saved By' categories. 

All References and in-text citations must follow the submission requirements detailed in the Style Guide. A more concise version is available in the Notes for Contributors. There is a Citation Style Language (CSL) file for Intellect House Style that is compatible with reference management programs like Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and many more. Please note that although Intellect House Style is based on the Harvard referencing system, there are several differences. For all such differences, please follow the examples and templates in the Style Guide and Notes for Contributors.

All punctuation must use the required UK style. For example, instead of "quotations like this," please use 'quotations like this'.

Keywords must not repeat words or phrases found in your title. You should have 6–8 keywords.

You must enter your metadata / Submission Details on the submission platform PubKit. This includes your professional Biography, ORCID, Institution/University, Institution/University Address, and Institution/University Email, as well as your Funders (grants, etc.) and Ethical Statement (IRB, etc.), even if the response is not applicable (N/A).

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you need any assistance.
