Authorship

The list and order of the authors should carefully be considered before submitting the paper to Regional Studies. No changes in the authorship will be made at any later stage (during or after publication). The authors whose papers are accepted for publication in Regional Studies will have to sign for the same in a Declaration Form prior to the online publication of their article.

Declaration of conflict of interest

At the time of manuscript submission, the authors are to disclose any conflicts of interest and the role of funding agencies (if any) in the research process. The concealment of any such information (revealed to the editors through other sources) can result in rejection or retraction of the article. The reviewers should also declare the potential conflicts of interest (if any) when they receive a manuscript for review. The referees, who fail to comply with the policy, may not be considered for peer reviews in future
