Full-length theoretical, empirical, or archival treatises offering substantial novel insights into creative arts, aesthetics, and cultural expressions.
In-depth analyses of recent scholarly paradigms, historical art exhibitions, philosophical debates, or cross-disciplinary methodologies.
Scholarly evaluations of newly published academic monographs in aesthetics, art history, and cultural heritage.
2. Manuscript Structure & Formatting

- Font & Layout: 12pt Times New Roman / Georgia / Source Serif, 1.5 line spacing, 1-inch (2.54 cm) margins on all sides.
- Line Numbering: Continuous Line Numbering must be turned on in Microsoft Word (
Layout → Line Numbers → Continuous) so double-blind peer reviewers can make precise line-by-line observations. - File Formats: Microsoft Word (
.docx/.doc) exclusively. (PDFs are not accepted for review submissions).
3. Citation System & DOIs
PIJCACE accepts standard Chicago Manual of Style (17th Edition, Author-Date or Notes-Bibliography) and APA (7th Edition). Permanent Crossref DOIs must be provided for all cited references where available.
4. Plagiarism Policy & Originality Threshold
Manuscripts are automatically screened using Turnitin / iThenticate upon submission. The acceptable similarity index is below 10% (excluding bibliography and properly quoted excerpts). Any evidence of plagiarism, ghostwriting, or undisclosed AI-generation will lead to immediate desk rejection under COPE principles.
5. Research Data Availability & Code Sharing Policy
In accordance with DOAJ, COPE, and FAIR data principles, PIJCACE encourages authors of empirical, computational, archival, or survey-based research to provide a Data Availability Statement in their manuscript prior to the References section.
- Public Repository: "The datasets, code, or corpora supporting the findings of this study are openly available in [Repository Name, e.g. Zenodo, OSF, GitHub] at https://doi.org/[DOI]."
- Upon Reasonable Request: "The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable academic request."
- Archival / Theoretical Work: "Data sharing is not applicable to this article as no novel empirical datasets were generated during this study."
6. Author Name Change Policy (COPE Core Practices)
PIJCACE recognizes that authors may need to change their names on published scholarship for reasons including marriage, divorce, gender identity transition, or religious conversion. In alignment with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) Working Group guidelines on inclusive author name changes:
- Discretion & Confidentiality: Name changes are processed silently. We do not publish a public corrigendum or erratum notice unless explicitly requested by the author, safeguarding privacy and dignity.
- Crossref & Metadata Synchronization: The online article, full-text HTML, PDF repository files, and Crossref DOI metadata are updated to reflect the new author name and preserved with the author's verified ORCID.
- How to Request: Authors may email editor@poorvam.com with the subject line
[Confidential Name Change Request]. No documentation of legal identity change is required beyond author email confirmation.
