Manuscript Templates

Diksi uses double-anonymous peer review, so every submission needs two files prepared from the two templates below. Manuscripts that do not follow the Diksi templates are returned to the authors without review.

File 1 · Article Text
Anonymised Manuscript Template

The manuscript sent to reviewers. It contains no author names, affiliations, emails, ORCID iDs, acknowledgements, author contributions, or funding information.

How to Submit
1
Write your manuscript in the Author Details template
Follow the guidance in the blue boxes, replace every yellow placeholder, then delete the blue boxes and highlights.
2
Prepare the anonymised version
Move the same text into the Anonymised template. Remove all identifying details, cite your own work in the third person, mask your institution and research site, and clear personal data from the file properties.
3
Upload in this order
The anonymised manuscript as Article Text, then the title page (Author Details file), then any supplementary files such as instruments, transcripts, or corpus data.
4
Complete the metadata
Enter every co-author with affiliation, country, email, and ORCID iD, and copy the title, abstract, and keywords exactly as they appear in the manuscript.
Before submitting, please read the full Author Guidelines and the Peer Review Process, and complete the pre-submission checklist at the end of each template.
