Important Notice to All Authors: Follow Journal Guidelines Strictly

At Synergy: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies, we are deeply committed to maintaining high academic and publishing standards. As part of our continuous effort to promote transparency and excellence, we would like to inform our contributors of the following important points:

Revised Manuscript Tracking

We use advanced software to track all changes made by authors in their revised manuscripts. This helps us ensure that suggested revisions are properly implemented. However, in many cases, we notice that:

  • Authors make only minor changes—mostly limited to the abstract—while ignoring other crucial sections.
  • Citations are edited selectively—often only where the author's own name is cited—rather than updating all in-text citations consistently.
  • Authors must understand the difference between "Bibliography" and "References". As per APA 7th edition (followed by our journal), a properly formatted References section is mandatory.

Strict Adherence to APA 7th Edition

We urge all contributors to follow APA 7th edition guidelines carefully, including in-text citations, reference formatting, headings, academic tone, and structure. Manuscripts that do not comply will be returned for revision or rejected.

Our Vision: Compete with Global Standards

We are building this journal with a long-term vision to stand alongside reputed international journals such as Springer, Taylor & Francis, Scopus, ScienceDirect, etc. These platforms maintain strict publishing standards, and we aim to do the same.

In India, local journals often struggle to gain recognition because they are not taken seriously. We believe in the philosophy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Local for Vocal" initiative— to strengthen our academic identity, we need your support by submitting quality research and following proper guidelines. Only with your cooperation can we elevate this journal to global standards of Indian academia.

Furthermore, Synergy: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies is committed to upholding the highest academic standards, aligning with the national vision of a "Viksit Bharat" by 2047. This vision is also articulated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasises the importance of self-reliance, innovation, and quality in all sectors, including academia.

Before Submitting or Revising Your Manuscript:
Please review our Author Guidelines, APA Reference Guide, and Submission Checklist available on the website.

Let’s work together to uphold academic integrity and make this journal a benchmark of quality in multidisciplinary research.
