Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • Italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses), are emplyed and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Author Guidelines

All the citation methods internationally consecrated by the scholarly community will find their way into the RDL, assuming that consistency in use is observed throughout the article.

Copyright Notice

The RDL is not responsible for the content of the articles it publishes. Every author is at full liberty to decide on their contents and the editorial team of the RDL is in no way bound by them. The fact that an article has been accepted for publication does not entail agreement with its content.

The editorial team shall not be held liable for any violation of intellectual property rights on the part of the author or for any unlawful behaviour connected with the respective article.

We welcome and encourage all authors to deposit and distribute the material they have published in the RDL across every platform and by all means at their disposal and which they deem appropriate.

Works published in the RDL have not been previously published and, while copyright rests with the author(s) of each published work, we request that all subsequent publications of the work expressly refer to the fact that the work was first published in the RDL.

Although authors are acknowledged to have unfettered freedom of creation and expression, they are expected to act ethically, in line with the principles espoused by the RDL, substantially consistent with the best practice guidance from the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Privacy Statement

Pursuant to the applicable legislation, the RDL adopts and upholds all the appropriate technical and clerical measures to ensure the protection of the personal data of its users and the respect for their rights.
