IJAMS
For Authors
How to prepare and submit a manuscript to IJAMS. Please read these guidelines, together with the journal's publication ethics and peer review policy, before submitting.
Types of Contributions
IJAMS publishes original research papers within the journal's aims and scope. Practical reports and research notes are also eligible for publication where the academic background of the work can be provided.
Originality and Prior Publication
Papers submitted must not have been previously published or be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. IJAMS does not consider manuscripts that are simultaneously submitted to another journal, nor redundant publications.
Conference papers may only be submitted if they have been completely rewritten and, if copyrighted, the necessary permissions have been obtained from the copyright holder.
Manuscript Preparation
Manuscripts must be written in English and prepared using one of the following templates, which specify the required format in detail:
- Word template: ijams_guideline_for_word.docx
- LaTeX package: IJAMS_PACK_LATEX2e.zip
Because all submissions are evaluated through double-blind review, the manuscript submitted for review should be prepared so that the authors cannot be identified from the text or file properties.
How to Submit
Submissions should be made in the format specified above and sent by email to the editorial office:
By submitting a manuscript, all authors declare that they have read and agree with the journal's publication ethics.
