1. What do we publish?

1.1 Aims & Scope

Before submitting your manuscript to Journal of Creative Communications, please ensure you
have read the Aims & Scope

1.2 Article types

There could be two to three sections in the journal:

 Research Articles
 Commentaries
 Research in Brief
 Book Reviews

Research articles should be of approximately 6,500–10,000 words in length, including

references, tables, and figures. They should be written as continuous expository narrative in a
chapter or article style - not as lists of points. Shorter articles of 3,000–4,500 words can be
published as commentaries.

1.3 Writing your paper

The SAGE Author Gateway has some general advice and on how to get published, plus links to
further resources.

1.3.1 Make your article discoverable

When writing up your paper, think about how you can make it discoverable. The title, keywords
and abstract are key to ensuring readers find your article through search engines such as
Google. For information and guidance on how best to title your article, write your abstract and
select your keywords, have a look at this page on the Gateway: How to Help Readers Find Your
Article Online

2. Editorial policies

2.1 Peer review policy

Journal of Creative Communications adheres to a rigorous double-blind reviewing policy in which

the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties.

2.2 Authorship

All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors.
Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the
relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their
status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that
substantially derives from the student’s dissertation or thesis.

2.3 Acknowledgements

All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an
Acknowledgements section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person
who provided purely technical help, or a department chair who provided only general support.

Please supply any personal acknowledgements separately to the main text to facilitate
anonymous peer review.
2.3.1 Writing assistance
Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communications company, do
not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must
disclose any writing assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input –
and identify the entity that paid for this assistance. It is not necessary to disclose use of language
polishing services.

2.4 Funding

Journal of Creative Communications requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a

consistent fashion under a separate heading. Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page
on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the
event of funding, or state that: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency
in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

2.5 Declaration of conflicting interests

Journal of Creative Communications encourages authors to include a declaration of any

conflicting interests and recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the SAGE
Journal Author Gateway

3. Publishing Policies

3.1 Publication ethics

SAGE is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic record. We encourage authors to
refer to the Committee on Publication Ethics’ International Standards for Authors and view the
Publication Ethics page on the SAGE Author Gateway

3.1.1 Plagiarism
Journal of Creative Communications and SAGE take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism
or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of
our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles.
Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles
may be checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article, for example, is found to
have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with
insufficient acknowledgement, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the
right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum
(correction); retracting the article; taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the
author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; or taking appropriate legal
action.

3.1.2 Prior publication

If material has been previously published it is not generally acceptable for publication in a SAGE
journal. However, there are certain circumstances where previously published material can be
considered for publication. Please refer to the guidance on the SAGE Author Gateway or if in
doubt, contact the Editor at the address given below.

3.2 Contributor’s publishing agreement

Before publication, SAGE requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor’s
Publishing Agreement. SAGE’s Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement is an exclusive
licence agreement which means that the author retains copyright in the work but grants SAGE
the sole and exclusive right and licence to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions
may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than
SAGE. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society. For
more information please visit the SAGE Author Gateway

3.3 Open access and author archiving

 Journal of Creative Communications offers optional open access publishing via the SAGE
Choice programme. For more information please visit the SAGE Choice website. For information
on funding body compliance, and depositing your article in repositories, please visit SAGE
Publishing Policies on our Journal Author Gateway.

4. Preparing your manuscript for submission

4.1 Formatting

The preferred format for your manuscript is Word. LaTeX files are also accepted. Word and
(La)Tex templates are available on the Manuscript Submission Guidelines page of our Author
Gateway.

The manuscript should be structured as follows:

 The cover page should carry the title of the article, the author(s)’ name(s), institutional
affiliation(s), address(es) (postal, email and web), and phone and fax numbers. In case there are
two or more authors, then corresponding author’s name and address details must be clearly
specified on the first page itself; all correspondence, including those of the proof of the article
would be sent to her/him.
 All articles must be accompanied by an abstract of 150–200 words, 4–5 keywords, and a brief
profile of the author of about 50 words and not exceeding 100 words (in total) in case of multiple
authors.
 Endnotes should be used instead of footnotes, and should be numbered serially using standard
figures (e.g., 1, 2, 3). The notes should be linked to the note cues within the text. Notes should
contain more than a citation of a work. Use notes to elaborate an issue that is already made in
the main text.
 The spellings used should be British (UK), with ‘s’ variant, e.g., globalisation instead of
globalization, labour instead of labor.
 Use single quotes throughout. Double quotes only used within single quotes. Spellings of words
in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from
the text and indented with one space with a line space above and below. When directly quoting
from a work, include the page number in the citation.
 Use of italics and diacriticals should be minimized but consistent. For non-English and
uncommon words and phrases, use italics throughout the text. Meaning of non-English words
should be given in parenthesis just after the word when it is used for the first time.
 Use capitals sparingly and double-check the logical application of any distinctions you wish to
make between specific and general use.
 Abbreviations are spelled out at first occurrence. Very common ones (US, GDP, BBC) need not
be spelled out.
 Spell out numbers from one to nine, 10 and above to remain in figures. However, for exact
measurements use only figures (3 km; 9 per cent). Use thousands and millions, not lakhs and
crores.
 Use ‘per cent’ instead of % in the text. In tables, graphs, etc., % can be used.
 Give specific dates in the form 22 November 1980. When referring to a century it should be in
words, e.g., ‘twentieth century’ and when reference is being made to a decade use numbers,
e.g., ‘1980s’.
 Ibid should not be used.
 The data in Figures should be mentioned in thousands and millions, and not lakhs and crores.
 Tables and figures to be indicated by numbers separately (see Table 1), not by placement (see
Table below). Present each table and figure on a separate sheet of paper, gathering them
together at the end of the article.

4.2 Artwork, figures and other graphics

For guidance on the preparation of illustrations, pictures and graphs in electronic format, please
visit SAGE’s Manuscript Submission Guidelines
 All photographs and scanned images should have a resolution of minimum 300 dpi/1500 pixels
and their format should be TIFF or JPEG.
 Due permissions should be taken for copyright protected photographs/images. Even for
photographs/images available in the public domain, it should be clearly ascertained whether or
not their reproduction requires permission for purposes of publishing (which is a profit-making
endeavour).
 All photographs/scanned images should be provided separately in a folder along with the main
article.

Please Note: All figures and tables should be cited in the text and should have the source (a
specific URL, a reference or, if it is author’s own work, ‘The Author’) mentioned irrespective of
whether or not they require permissions.

Figures supplied in colour will appear in colour online regardless of whether or not these
illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For specifically requested colour
reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from SAGE after receipt of
your accepted article.

4.3 Supplementary material

This journal is able to host additional materials online (e.g. datasets, podcasts, videos, images
etc) alongside the full-text of the article. For more information please refer to our guidelines on
submitting supplementary files

4.4 Reference style

Journal of Creative Communications adheres to the APA reference style. View

the APA guidelines to ensure your manuscript conforms to this reference style.

 References: A consolidated listing of all books, articles, essays, theses and documents referred
to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs and maps) should be provided at the end of the
article.

 Arrangement of references: Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of
the first author of each work. In each reference, authors’ names are inverted (last name first) for
all authors (first, second or subsequent ones); give the last name and initials for all authors of a
particular work unless the work has more than six authors. If the work has more than six authors,
list the first six authors and then use et al. after the sixth author’s name.

 Chronological listing: If more than one work by the same author(s) is cited, they should be
listed in order by the year of publication, starting with the earliest.

 Sentence case: In references, sentence case (only the first word and any proper noun are
capitalized—e.g., ‘The software industry in India’) is to be followed for the titles of papers, books,
articles, etc.

 Title case: In references, Journal titles are put in title case (first letter of all words except articles
and conjunctions are capitalized—e.g., Journal of Business Ethics).

 Italicize: Book and Journal titles are to be italicized.

In-text citations:

 One work by one author: (Kessler, 2003, p. 50) or ‘Kessler (2003) found that among the
epidemiological samples…’.
 One work by two authors: (Joreskog & Sorborn, 2007, pp. 50–66) or Joreskog and Sorborn

entry (title) and then the year, e.g., (‘Study finds’, 2007); (Anonymous, 1998).

[NIMH], 2003) in the first citation and (NIMH, 2003) in subsequent citations.
