Writing and Formatting Guidelines
File Format
Manuscripts must be submitted in editable file formats, preferably Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx). PDF submissions will not be accepted for peer review purposes. Please ensure your manuscript is compatible across platforms.

Double Anonymized Peer Review
JTTR adheres to a double-anonymized peer review process. Submissions must not contain any identifying information about the authors. Author names, institutional affiliations, acknowledgements, and funding sources must be placed on the title page and excluded from the main document.

Title Page
Please upload a separate title page containing:
- Full title of the article
- Names and affiliations of all authors
- ORCID iDs
- Full correspondence details for the lead author
- Acknowledgements, funding sources, and conflict of interest statements

This page should not be included in the main manuscript file intended for peer review.

Abstract
An abstract that does not exceed 150 words must be included and should clearly summarize the purpose, approach, key findings, and theoretical or practical significance of the study. Avoid references or undefined abbreviations.

Keywords
Provide 3 to 5 keywords that reflect the article’s core themes and enhance its discoverability in search engines and academic databases.

Mathematical Formulae
Equations should be clear, consistently formatted, and numbered sequentially if referenced. Use equation editors compatible with Word. Inline formulae should not disrupt line spacing or paragraph flow.

Tables
Tables should be concise, numbered consecutively, and titled informatively. Place each table within the main text close to where it is first cited. All abbreviations used in tables must be defined in footnotes.

Figures, Images, and Artwork
Figures (e.g., graphs, diagrams, conceptual models) should be of publication quality and included in the text where they are referenced.
Each figure must have a descriptive caption.
Ensure that graphical content is readable and accessible when printed in grayscale.

Supplementary Material
Supplementary material (e.g., additional datasets, interview guides, coding schemes) that supports the article’s findings but is not essential to its core argument can be submitted separately. These files must be clearly labeled and referenced in the manuscript.

Research Data
Where applicable, authors are encouraged to share their underlying data in line with the principles of transparency and reproducibility; however, this is not essential. Data sharing enhances the visibility and integrity of research.

Data Statement
Include a Data Availability Statement at the end of your manuscript (before references), indicating where and how the data supporting your findings can be accessed, or explaining any restrictions.
Example:
“The datasets generated and analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.”

Data Linking
If you deposit data in a repository (e.g., Zenodo, Dryad), please include persistent links (DOIs) to these datasets in the data statement section.

Article Structure
The manuscript should be structured as follows:
- Introduction (clearly state the research problem and contribution)
- Theoretical Background / Literature Review
- Research Design / Methodology
- Findings / Results
- Discussion and Conclusion (including Theoretical Implications, Practical Implications, and Limitations and Future Research Directions)

References
All references must be formatted consistently using APA 7th edition style. Ensure that all citations in the text appear in the reference list and vice versa (references should appear in the text).
