Part I – General Information & Policies

Aims & Scope

•  Before preparing your manuscript, please read the journal's Aims & Scope to ensure your work fits the scope of IJMERR.

Article Types

•  Article – original research presenting scientifically sound experiments and substantial new information.

•  Review – concise, up‑to‑date summaries of recent progress in a specific field.

Length

•  Research articles should be at least 5 pages (excluding references).

Ethics and Authorship

•  All authors must approve the submitted manuscript.

•  Ensure compliance with publication ethics, research ethics, and copyright policies.

•  The submitting (corresponding) author is responsible for the manuscript throughout the review process.

Part II – Submission Process

Step 1 – Prepare your files

•  Use the official Microsoft Word template.

•  Only .doc files are accepted at submission.

•  Insert figures and tables in the main text, close to their first citation, and number them sequentially.

Step 2 – Check all requirements (pre‑submission checklist)

•  Confirm that all co‑authors are listed and have read/approved the final version.

•   Verify that the abstract, keywords, and main text follow the formatting rules (see Part III).

•  Ensure that funding, conflict of interest, and author contribution statements are included.

Step 3 – Submit online

•  Use the OJS online submission system.

•  The corresponding author will receive an initial acknowledgement within a few days.

Step 4 – Peer review and decision

•  Manuscripts that pass the desk check are sent for peer review.

•  The academic editor makes the final decision based on reviewers' reports.

Part III – Manuscript Formatting Guidelines

A. Front Page

1. Title

•  Concise, specific, and relevant – no abbreviated or running titles.

•  It should clearly flag the paper's content.

2. Author List and Affiliations

•  Provide full first and last names (middle initials optional).

•  Separate names with commas.

•  Affiliations: use superscript numbers to link authors to institutions.

•  Format: Institute/Department, Faculty, University, City, State (only for USA/Canada/Australia), Country.

•  Designate the corresponding author and include their email and contact details at the end.

3. Abstract (150–250 words)

•  Self‑contained, no abbreviations, references, URLs, or undefined terms.

•  For research articles, we recommend a structured style (without headings) covering:

•  Background – context and purpose

•  Methods – main methods/treatments

•  Results – key findings

•  Conclusions – main interpretation

4. Keywords – 3 to 10 keywords.

B. Main Text

1. Introduction

•  Place the study in a broad context; explain why it is important.

•  Identify the gaps and state the study's purpose.

•  Organise as: what is known → what is missing → why filling the gap matters.

•  Keep background brief; detailed discussion goes to the Literature Review.

2. Literature Review

•  Provide comprehensive evidence for your hypothesis.

•  Elaborate on studies mentioned in the introduction and discuss current trends.

•  Organise thematically, and within each theme, present studies chronologically to show the evolution of the
field.

•  Highlight done work and future directions.

3. Materials and Methods

•  Describe in sufficient detail to allow replication.

•  New methods: full description; established ones: brief description with citations.

•  Specify software names/versions and indicate if code is available. Include pre‑registration codes if any.

4. Results and Discussion

•  Present experimental results concisely and precisely.

•  Interpret the findings and compare with previous studies and working hypotheses.

•  Discuss broader implications and acknowledge limitations.

4. Conclusions

•  Synthesise key points – not just a summary.

•  Complement the abstract and, if applicable, suggest future research directions.

C. Back Page

•  Acknowledgments – Recognise support not covered by author contributions or funding.

•  Funding – List all funding sources with grant numbers. Use the correct agency names (verify at
https://search.crossref.org/funding).

•  Conflict of Interest – Required for all papers. If none, use:

"The authors declare no conflicts of interest." (or for a single author: "The author declares no conflicts of interest.")

•  Author Contributions – For multi‑author papers, specify individual contributions using CRediT terms,
for example: Conceptualization, X.X. and Y.Y.; Methodology, X.X.; Software, X.X.; Validation, X.X., Y.Y. and Z.Z.;
Formal Analysis, X.X.;Investigation, X.X.; Resources, X.X.; Data Curation, X.X.; Writing – Original Draft Preparation,
X.X.; Writing – Review & Editing, X.X.; Visualization, X.X.; Supervision, X.X.; Project Administration, X.X.; Funding 

Acquisition, Y.Y.

•  References

Number references in order of appearance in the text (including tables and figures).

•  List them at the end.

Use bibliography software (e.g., EndNote) to avoid errors.

•  Author Biography

List educational background: degree, field, institution, city, state/country, and year.

The major field of study should be in lowercase.

Part IV – After Submission & Contact

•  The corresponding author will be notified of the initial decision within a few days.

•  All correspondence regarding the manuscript should be conducted through the OJS system.

•  For any additional queries, please contact the editorial office.

Summary of structural changes (for your reference):

•  Reorganised from 3 numbered sections into 4 thematic parts: General Policies → Submission Steps
→ Formatting (Front/Main/Back) → Post‑Submission.

•  Moved the checklist into the submission workflow (Step 2) rather than listing it separately.

•  Grouped all front‑page, main‑text, and back‑page items under clear subheadings for easier navigation.

•  Added a final "After Submission" part to complete the author journey.

If you prefer an even more compact layout (e.g., tables for author contributions or a graphical checklist),
I can provide that as well. Let me know how you would like to refine it further.
