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: 298-301 Anindividual's sense of competence or skill and perceivedcapability to deal effectively with various situationsis termed as self-confidence. Whereas, peer, or friend, relationships are uniquely voluntary relationships, and ifpersonal benefits are distributed, reciprocity is expected, rules are monitored and revised as necessary, and commitment grows over time. Both self-confidence and satisfactory peer relationships are quite necessary for the adolescents in the present scenario. The deficiency in the interpersonal realm which further affects the self-confidence of an individual has could result into loneliness, and thereby individual's academic performance declines. This decline in academic performance further hampers their skills (personal/social) and abilities which are necessary for decision making about selecting a profession/professional course. Therefore, it was considered worthwhile to conduct a study on adolescents to investigate relationship among self-confidence, peer-relations, and loneliness. Standardized scales were administered on a sample of N=111, of high schoolstudents (both males and females; mean age=14.39 years) from aKendriyaVidyalaya located in Ambala Cantt for which incidental sampling was done.Correlational design was postulated for the present study and the results revealed that self-confidence in various aspects at adolescent age such as academic performance, talking in public, social participation, are positively inter-related and also with peer relationships (i.e., relationships with friends and social groups). Whereas, adolescents those who are experiencing dissatisfactory friendship do not have healthy peer-relationship at all. In sum, self-confidence and peer-relationships plays important role towards the growth of satisfactory relationships among adolescents, thereby loneliness could be avoided or one can overcome from such life threatening experiences.

Pages: 296-297 Every child is born with inborn traits like instinct, motives, drives, urges and tendencies as well as with other abilities like intelligence, creativity, curiosity like mental abilities, verbal abilities, mechanical abilities, spatial abilities, reasoning abilities inductive and deductive ability and soon. It has been seen that the original behaviour of the child is the instinctive behaviour which is unsocial like the animal behaviour because instincts are common in both man and animal. It has been seen that original or instinctive behaviour of the child includes destructiveness, aggressiveness, anger, selfishness, sex, assertiveness etc. Thus the process of education which contributes to modify or convert the original/instinctive/unsocial or animal behaviour of the child into the human behaviour or socially desirable behaviour as well as to develop the other in born abilities of the child for the harmonious and complete development of the personality of the child may be known as the positive education. The positive education is a child centered education which provides the child with favourable environment, guidance and training to the child for the development of his personality. Positive education is indispensable for developing the creativity among the students for which positive teacher also plays equally important role for developing the creativity and other abilities among the students. A positive teacher is he who understands the individual differences among the students and applies psychological methods of teaching suitable to the age, interests, needs and abilities of different types of students in the class. He is an ideal of perfection and serves as a source of inspiration for the students. Pages: 296-297Roopwant Kour (Teacher, Govt . Middle School, Rahya, Samba, Jammu & Kashmir) |
