Copyright form
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Ethical Guidelines for the author
• Authors should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original and has not been published elsewhere in any language. Work should not be submitted concurrently to more than one publication unless the editors have agreed to co-publication. If articles are co-published this fact should be made clear to readers.
• Copyright material (e.g. tables, figures or extensive quotations) should be reproduced only with appropriate permission and acknowledgement.
• Relevant previous work and publications, both by other researchers and the authors’ own, should be properly acknowledged and referenced.
• Data, text, figures or ideas originated by other researchers should be properly acknowledged and should not be presented as if they were the authors’ own
• All sources of research funding, including direct and indirect financial support, supply of equipment or materials, and other support (such as specialist statistical or writing assistance) should be disclosed.
• Authors should disclose the role of the research funder(s) or sponsor (if any) in the research design, execution, analysis, interpretation and reporting
• The research literature serves as a record not only of what has been discovered but also of who made the discovery. The authorship of research publications should therefore accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
• In cases where major contributors are listed as authors while those who made less substantial, or purely technical, contributions to the research or to the publication are listed in an acknowledgement section, the criteria for authorship and acknowledgement should be agreed at the start of the project.
• Researchers should ensure that only those individuals who meet authorship criteria (i.e. made a substantial contribution to the work) are rewarded with authorship and that deserving authors are not omitted. Institutions and journal editors should encourage practices that prevent guest, gift, and ghost authorship.
• All authors should agree to be listed and should approve the submitted and accepted versions of the publication. Any change to the author list should be approved by all authors including any who have been removed from the list. The corresponding author should act as a point of contact between the editor and the other authors and should keep co-authors informed and involve them in major decisions about the publication (e.g. responding to reviewers’ comments).
• Authors should work with the editor or publisher to correct their work promptly if errors or omissions are discovered after publication.
• Authors should abide by relevant conventions, requirements, and regulations to make materials, reagents, software or datasets available to other researchers who request them. Researchers, institutions, and funders should have clear policies for handling such requests. Authors must also follow relevant journal standards. While proper acknowledgement is expected, researchers should not demand authorship as a condition for sharing materials.
• Authors should follow publishers’ requirements that work is not submitted to more than one publication for consideration at the same time.
• Authors should inform the editor if they withdraw their work from review, or choose not to respond to reviewer comments after receiving a conditional acceptance.
• Authors should respond to reviewers’ comments in a professional and timely manner.
• Appropriate approval, licensing or registration should be obtained before the research begins and details should be provided in the report (e.g. Institutional Review Board, Research Ethics Committee approval, national licensing authorities for the use of animals).
• If requested by editors, authors should supply evidence that reported research received the appropriate approval and was carried out ethically (e.g. copies of approvals, licences, participant consent forms).
• Researchers should not generally publish or share identifiable individual data collected in the course of research without specific consent from the individual (or their representative). Researchers should remember that many scholarly journals are now freely available on the internet, and should therefore be mindful of the risk of causing danger or upset to unintended readers (e.g. research participants or their families who recognise themselves from case studies, descriptions, images or pedigrees).
• The appropriate statistical analyses should be determined at the start of the study and a data analysis plan for the prespecified outcomes should be prepared and followed.
• Researchers should publish all meaningful research results that might contribute to understanding. In particular, there is an ethical responsibility to publish the findings of all clinical trials. The publication of unsuccessful studies or experiments that reject a hypothesis may help prevent others from wasting time and resources on similar projects. If findings from small studies and those that fail to reach statistically significant results can be combined to produce more useful information (e.g. by meta-analysis) then such findings should be published.
• Authors should supply research protocols to journal editors if requested (e.g. for clinical trials) so that reviewers and editors can compare the research report to the protocol to check that it was carried out as planned and that no relevant details have been omitted. Researchers should follow relevant requirements for clinical trial registration and should include the trial registration number in all publications arising from the trial.

Pages: 569-572 Video gaming is the preferable leisure activity of the adolescent. Video games are designed to be entertaining, challenging and sometimes educational. By reviewing the previous studies the conclusions is drawn that there is a negative association between amount of video game play and school performance for children, adolescents and college students. The research results have indicated that video games can promote hand-eye coordination, visual scanning, auditory discrimination, spatial skills and problem solving skills. The results of the previous studies indicated that the video games influences academic dishonesty among children and adolescents. The strategies used in video games promote cheating behaviour in academics and business for problem solving.

Pages: 564-568 In the recent times, rising attrition is a cause of concern in the Indian Automobile Industry particularly the frontline dealer sales force. Most research on commitment and attrition is focussed on the relationship between these variables or related variables in various organisational sectors. There is huge scope to apply available studies on positively impacting employee attitude such as organisational commitment and thereby reducing attrition particularly in the Indian Automobile Industry. This paper therefore aims to study how organisational commitment can be enhanced in the Indian automobile Industry. More specifically this paper 1) examines recent challenges faced by the Indian Automobile industry 2) attempts to bring together recent Indian and International studies 3) explores the implication of the study on Organisational Commitment in automobile dealerships in India (Kaul & Singh, 2017b) and suggest practical solutions for reducing attrition and enhancing commitment 4) identifies research gaps and future scope of research on the topic Pages: 564-568Shivangi Kaul and Abha Singh (AIPS, Amity University, Noida, Uttar Pradesh) |
Pages: 561-563 Fear of examination drags the young mind of youth into the dark and isolated hole of stress and anxiety which sometimes leads to the extreme step of committing suicide. Various committees have worked on it and have recommended required and essential steps in the form of different National Curriculum Frameworks to de-stress students along with other stakeholders including teachers and parents. While modifying aims, methods, means and modes of education as per the changing scenario of the nation, examination has never been neglected or underestimated by concerned reform committees of curriculum frameworks. This paper is an attempt to study different curriculum frameworks published by NCERT in order to analyze the major structural and procedural changes they have introduced to improve and bring reform in examination system.

Pages: 550-557 The contribution of Indian Railways to strengthen National Integration is unprecedented. It is the third largest railway network in the world. It provides connectivity to all the states of the country including urban, sub-urban, hilly, remote areas. It not only links the different regions within the country but also connects India with neighboring countries also such Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh etc. IR is one of the most suitable and economical modes of transportation. It touches the life of the citizens directly or indirectly in one way or the other. A large population of the country is dependent on IR. But the past experiences reflect poor delivery of passenger services resulting in dissatisfaction among the passengers. This adversely affects the relation between the users and the providers of IR.

Pages: 545-549 Dairy industry is a backbone of Haryana's economy. Both branded and unbranded dairy sector is working simultaneously. Branded dairy products have their own attributes, which is used to attract and satisfy the consumers. But the perception of both rural and urban people may be different. Their way of thinking may be different. Some attributes which are important for rural people may be less important or not important for urban people. This paper compares the perceptions of rural and urban people regarding importance of attributes while buying branded dairy products. With the help of primary data obtained from both urban and rural area, analysis has been done. Results show that there is no disparity between the perception of rural people and urban people. The perception regarding the importance of attributes related to all regions of Haryana is same.

Pages: 535-544 Empowerment is the catchword of development pundits the world over. This is especially so in the context of uplifting the socio-economic levels of the women of marginalized sections of northern India. The work participation of women is generally a very ignored and invisible port of the country's economy even though in a real time analysis it may well form its backbone. Many of the initiatives taken up to ameliorate the lot of the women have failed because these women had no share in the fruits of their labour. They hardly ever had any money in their hands. They had no purchasing power and virtually no decision making power either. The financial inclusion initiatives like Self Help Groups (SHGs) and micro Finance Institution (MFIs) through apex agencies like NABARD were provided to include these persons at the bottom of the development pyramid and consequently had far reaching implications. The author examines the genesis of these financial inclusion overtures to ascertain the actual gains made at the ground level not only in terms of economic empowerment of these rural women but also the incremental gains attained in improving their overall social status. This paper is being presented as a part of a forthcoming comprehensive book on the subject of Self Help Groups in North India.

Pages: 522-529 Even though empowerment does not come across as a new word for most of us, understanding the concept of empowerment in totality seems to be a difficult task. Even though empowerment has been practiced, the exact definition or meaning of empowerment is not very well considered by the scholars in the field. The study was done solely based on the survey and review of literature. The study focused on understanding the role of trainers in empowering the employees at the workplace. Based on the literature survey done it was seen that trainers play a very important role in terms of empowering the employees.

Pages: 518-521 The present paper focuses on how enhancing social, emotional and thinking skills through a complete package called 'Well-being curriculum' i.e. identifying and inculcating life skills and character strengths among adolescents to achieve their goals and strengthen their abilities to be successful in life. Well-being curriculum should be applied at schools where skills and strengths are imparted in a supportive learning environment. The age group targeted is mainly 10-18 years adolescents, since young people of this age group seem to be most vulnerable to behaviour related health problems. In real life, many skills and strengths are required to manage a particular situation effectively. In a way, various skills and strengths work best in conjunction. This makes work on applying well-being curriculum more a matter of synthesis (i.e., gathering & bridging what is best in us) than analysis (i.e., picking ourselves apart). Therefore, this novel curriculum is meant for the promotion of health and well-being of adolescents. Pages: 518-521Nidhi Chadha (Department of Psychology, G.G.D.S.D College, Chandigarh) |
