• Only research work from the science and technology discipline can be submitted to AJGR. Students from other disciplines can submit their papers to the Advanced Journal of Social Science.
• Only mentored research work (under the supervision of a faculty member) can be submitted to AJGR. Research work without a supervisor can be posted to AIJR Preprints as a working paper (preprint).
• The research work must be carried out in the current or last academic semester. Work done prior to the last 2 academic semesters will not be considered in AJGR; such work can be submitted to AIJR Preprints as a working paper.

Note: The author should read the guidelines carefully and follow them, Students should also consult their supervisors before submission to this journal.

1. Author's detail: Each article must include at least one student and one supervisor (as co-author) under whose supervision research work has been done. If the supervisor does not wish to be included as a co-author, we will require an email from the supervisor confirming the same. We will still require the supervisor's detail and each supervisor's name will still be mentioned as the mentor but not included in the authorship.
