Eduphoria-An International Multidisciplinary Magazine is published online quarterly (4 issues per year). ICERT make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (content) contained in our publications. However, ICERT make no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the accuracy, completeness, or suitability for any purpose of the content. Any opinions and views expressed in this publication are the opinions and views of the authors, and are not the views of or endorsed by ICERT. The accuracy of the content should not be relied upon and should be independently verified with primary sources of information. ICERT shall not be liable for any losses, actions, claims, proceedings, demands, costs, expenses, damages, and other liabilities whatsoever or howsoever caused arising directly or indirectly in connection with, in relation to, or arising out of the use of the content. This magazine offers masked peer review (where both the authors’ and reviewers’ identities are not known to the other). The style of the publication is “magazine style,” with less density of citations and more narratives about the concepts being highlighted. Do provide citations for all direct quotations, paraphrased statements, and borrowed ideas. Be sure to state clearly which ideas and language are yours and which ones are drawn from someone else. Authors should consider issues of readability, avoiding overuse of citations and using them only when appropriate. To make articles readable, we prefer to incorporate attributions into the article text whenever possible. It is recommended that prior to submission, you review your article very carefully. Often, it helps to have a colleague read over your article and, when possible, your article should be professionally edited. The editorial board will make the final decision on headlines, illustrations, and other supporting content, and on the placement of each article in the publication.
