  • The Microsoft Word template may be utilized to draft your text. This link leads to an example template.
  • Verify that the following concerns have been properly taken into account: data, figure formats, authorship, copyright, publishing ethics, and references format.

Publications Type

Manuscript length is not restricted by JOMSSI as long as the content is clear and thorough. To enable the replication of the results, all experimental information must be supplied. When feasible and necessary, writers must make complete datasets available, and they must publish all experimental controls according to JOMSSI guidelines. Submissions to JOMSSI should not have been published elsewhere or be pending publication in another journal. These are the primary categories of articles:

Articles: Submitted original research papers. All original research articles are accepted for consideration by the journal as long as they detail studies with high scientific rigor and contain a significant amount of fresh data. It is not necessary for authors to split up their work into many linked papers. Peer review will take the study's effect and quality into account.

Review articles: These offer succinct and accurate summaries of the most recent developments in a particular field of study. Standard guidelines that are often relevant should be followed in systematic reviews.

Conference papers, case reports, and preprints: Preprint case reports and conference proceedings are not accepted by or published in JOMSSI. Expanded and superior conference papers, however, may be regarded as articles if they meet the accompanying criteria:

  • The paper has been enlarged to a research article length.
  • On the first page of the article, the conference paper has to be referenced and noted.
  • Authors must disclose that their article is a conference paper in their cover letter and explain any changes made from the original conference paper.
  • If authors do not own the copyright to the published conference paper, they should obtain the necessary permission from the copyright holder.
  • Pilot projects and research with insufficient statistical power are not published in JOMSSI.

Procedure for Submission

Submissions of manuscripts for JOMSSI should be made online at http://mjjsi.com throughout the submission and peer-review phases, the paper is under the control of the submitting author, who is typically the corresponding author. The author submitting the work must make sure that all co-authors who meet the requirements have been included to the author list and have read and approved the submitted version of the paper. Create an account and log in to the OJS in order to submit your work. If each co-author registers and logs in with the email address they supplied when submitting the paper, they may all view the manuscript details in the submission system.

Guidelines for Preparing Manuscripts

Follow these guidelines for getting the manuscript prepared for submission:

General Guidelines:

  • Use Microsoft Word with single-line spacing, justified alignment, Times New Roman font size 12, and other settings.
  • The paper should not exceed 10,000 words, including indexes. Notify the editor if an expansion is required.

Title Page:

  • Provide a separate upload for the title page.
  • For the title, choose a 16-point Times New Roman typeface that is centered and capitalized.
  • Provide the email addresses, institutional affiliations, and complete names of all authors in a 12-point Times New Roman font.

Abstract:

  • Use an 11-point Times New Roman font and limit abstracts to 150–200 words.
  • Give a succinct summary of the article's goals, methods, and conclusions without using any acronyms or references.

Key words:

Give three to five keywords that best sum up the substance of the manuscript.

Headings:

  • Use appropriate headers and subheadings to structure the manuscript.
  • For headers, use formatting that is consistent, such as bold or italics.

Figures & Tables:

  • All of the paper's figures and tables should be numbered and cited.

  • Make sure your sources are properly cited.

Equations:

  • Give concise, numerical explanations of equations together with textual references.
  • References should be formatted in APA style, single-spaced, alphabetically, and without numbers.

The Structure of Manuscript

  • Introduction: Clearly describe the study's place within a larger context while highlighting its importance. Describe the main conclusions, hypotheses, aims, and applicability of the study.
  • Study Objective: Briefly describe the work's principal goal and emphasize its key results. Keep the introduction simple enough for scholars working on topics other than the one covered in the publication.
  • Literature Review: Include at least 10 current references in a succinct, pertinent evaluation.
  • Material and Methods: Provide a clear description of the procedures, subjects, study design, and statistical methods.
  • Research Design and Methodology: Provide enough depth in your documentation of methods to ensure repeatability.
  • Results: Clearly state the results of the experiment, together with any consequences or interpretations.
  • Discussion: Consider the findings in light of previous research, hypotheses, limits, and future directions.
  • Conclusions: Summarize lengthy discussion.
  • Patents: This part is optional, however it may be included if patents come from the work disclosed in this paper.
  • References: References must be in the most recent APA format and version. We recommend using a bibliography software program, such as EndNote, Reference Manager, or Zotero, to eliminate inputting errors and duplicating references.

Figures, schemes, and tables are being prepared.

  • Figures and schemes must be submitted in a single zip folder with a resolution of at least 1000 pixels width/height (or 300 dpi or higher). Common formats are acceptable, although JPEG, EPS, and PDF are preferred.
  • All Figures, Schemes, and Tables should be included into the main text near their initial reference and numbered according to their number of appearance (Figure 1, Scheme I, Figure 2, Scheme II, Table 1, etc.). However, at the time of publication, the editor has the right to resize or rearrange them to accommodate the length of the page.
  • All Figures, Schemes, and Tables should have a brief explanatory title and caption in accordance with APA guidelines.
  • Each table column should have an informative header. Smaller fonts, no smaller than 8 pt., may be utilized to make copy-editing of bigger tables easier.
  • Authors should utilize Microsoft Word's Table option to build tables.
  • Authors are welcome to create color figures and schemes (RGB with 8-bit channels). There is no additional charge for publishing full-color graphics.
