Basic Checklist for Authors
Dear Authors, for a smooth publishing process, please make sure that your submission is in line with the requirements specified below. Failure to do so will result in us not accepting your paper.
- Because of our limited processing/review time, we only consider papers submitted for evaluation according to the following editorial timeline:
|
Issues 1 and 2 |
||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||
|
Issues 3 and 4 |
||||||||||||
|
- Papers should be submitted to ijomam@incdmtm.ro.
- A paper can consist in an original research work (highly recommended), or it can be a review of literature or of the state of the art in the field (which must be as exhaustive as possible). In the first scenario, the contents of the paper must be new and original, and the paper should address an important research problem or question. Moreover, all conclusions must be valid, appropriate, and properly supported by evidence presented throughout the paper.
- The same paper accepted for publishing in IJOMAM cannot be sent for publication and/or consideration for publishing elsewhere, as per the current general ethical standards.
- A paper should have at least 8 pages (references included), and, preferably, no more than 12 pages. Larger papers will be broken in two parts.
- A paper must comply with the journal’s template.
- It is highly recommended for the authors’ ORCID ID to be included in the papers. Creating an ORCID profile is free of charge, therefore, we warmly invite the authors who do not already possess one to create it for themselves before submitting a paper for consideration for publishing in IJOMAM.
- It is recommended that papers be written in British English. However, papers in Americal English are accepted as well. General grammar, syntax, and semantic rules must be complied with. The organization of the paper must be clear. All ideas must be presented in a logical sequence, while the general idea of the paper must be conveyed in a proper way. Make sure to use the service of a specialized certified translator or a language proof-reading service.
- Should a paper be sent for review and then, regardless of the reason, retracted by an author, the new papers submitted by the same author will be subject to a one-year embargo before next consideration for publication, automatically.
- Please make sure that your work is consistent with the following list of criteria:
- Title and abstract:
- The title must be clear and informative, resuming the contents of the paper (it should not be misleading).
- The abstract must be thorough, and essential details must be presented.
- There must be no inconsistencies between the abstract and the paper text.
- All the information given in the abstract must be present in the text.
- General content:
- The tables and figures in the papers must be used effectively and referred to in the paper text.
- Reference citations must be complete (Author name(s), Name of publication, Publisher, Year of publication, and date when accessing a website, if applicable).
- Graphics:
- All graphics must have a proper resolution (300 DPI or higher), and must not be embedded in tables, boxes, and/or frames.
- Graphics must be wrapped with the ‘in line with text’ option.
- Coverage of the relevant existing literature:
- The literature review must be up-to-date.
- The number of references and their selection must be appropriate.
- The review of the literature must be well integrated in the paper text.
- References must consist mainly in primary sources.
- Please be informed that:
- Papers whose contents are outside the topics of the journal will not be considered.
- Papers with a plagiarism percent exceeding 5% will not be accepted.
