Guidelines for preparing and submitting manuscripts to the International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research Field (IJMRF).
Authors are requested to carefully read these guidelines before submitting a manuscript to the International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research Field (IJMRF). These guidelines are intended to help authors prepare manuscripts in a clear, consistent, and academically appropriate format.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submission is original, accurate, properly referenced, ethically conducted where applicable, and suitable for the scope of the journal.
IJMRF welcomes original scholarly contributions from different academic and professional disciplines. The journal may consider research articles, review articles, conceptual studies, methodological papers, case studies, and other suitable scholarly contributions according to its editorial scope.
Authors should ensure that their manuscript has a clear academic purpose and is relevant to the multidisciplinary nature of the journal.
Original research presenting a clearly defined research problem, methodology, results, analysis, and conclusions.
A structured and critical discussion of previously published research on a defined subject.
Detailed examination of a particular case, event, organization, process, or practical situation.
Scholarly work presenting theoretical perspectives, frameworks, models, or research methodologies.
Manuscripts submitted to IJMRF should contain original academic work and should not have been published previously in substantially the same form.
Authors should not submit the same manuscript simultaneously to multiple journals while it is under active consideration.
Where previously published material is used, appropriate acknowledgement and permission should be obtained where required.
Authors should organize their manuscript in a logical academic sequence. A typical research manuscript may include the following sections:
| Section | Recommended Content |
|---|---|
| Title | A concise and informative title describing the subject of the study. |
| Author Information | Author names, affiliations, and corresponding-author information. |
| Abstract | A brief summary of the purpose, methodology, major findings, and conclusion. |
| Keywords | Relevant terms that accurately represent the subject of the manuscript. |
| Introduction | Background, research problem, objectives, and relevant context. |
| Literature Review | Relevant previous research and the academic context of the study. |
| Methodology | Research design, methods, materials, participants, procedures, or analytical approach as applicable. |
| Results | Findings presented clearly using appropriate text, tables, or figures. |
| Discussion | Interpretation of findings and their relationship to previous research. |
| Conclusion | Main conclusions, implications, limitations, and possible future directions. |
| References | Complete bibliographic information for sources cited in the manuscript. |
The title should be specific, informative, and relevant to the research presented. Authors should avoid unnecessary abbreviations and excessively long titles.
The abstract should provide a concise overview of the research. Depending on the nature of the manuscript, it may describe the research objective, methodology, major findings, and conclusion.
Authors should provide relevant keywords that accurately describe the subject of the manuscript. Keywords should be useful for identifying and discovering the article in academic searches.
Manuscripts should be prepared in a clear and readable format. Authors should follow the latest formatting requirements provided by the journal at the time of submission.
Tables and figures should be relevant to the manuscript and should improve the presentation or understanding of the research.
Authors should cite sources accurately and consistently. Every source cited in the manuscript should be included in the reference list, and references should not be included merely to increase the number of citations.
Authors should verify author names, article titles, journal names, publication details, page numbers, and DOI information where applicable.
References should be relevant to the research and should represent the literature actually consulted or cited by the authors.
Manuscripts should be written in clear academic language. Authors should ensure that the manuscript is understandable and free from avoidable grammatical, spelling, and typographical errors.
Authors whose manuscript requires substantial language improvement are encouraged to have it carefully edited before submission.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that research involving human participants, animals, personal information, or other sensitive material complies with applicable ethical requirements.
Where applicable, authors should provide information regarding ethical approval, informed consent, permissions, or other relevant safeguards.
Ethical requirements may vary according to the discipline and nature of the research.
Authorship should be limited to individuals who have made a meaningful contribution to the research and manuscript in accordance with accepted scholarly authorship practices.
All listed authors should have reviewed and approved the final manuscript and should agree with its submission.
Changes to authorship after submission may require justification and approval from the relevant authors and editorial team.
Authors should disclose any financial, professional, personal, or institutional relationship that could reasonably be perceived as influencing the research or its interpretation.
If no relevant conflict exists, authors may provide an appropriate declaration stating that there are no conflicts of interest to disclose.
Authors should disclose relevant sources of financial or institutional support for the research where applicable.
Individuals or organizations that provided meaningful assistance but do not qualify for authorship may be acknowledged appropriately, subject to their consent where necessary.
Manuscripts should be original and should properly acknowledge the work of other researchers. Plagiarism includes presenting another person's ideas, words, data, results, or other intellectual work as one's own without appropriate acknowledgement.
The journal may use appropriate screening or editorial checks where necessary. Concerns regarding plagiarism, duplicate publication, fabricated data, falsified results, manipulated citations, or other research-integrity issues may result in further investigation.
Authors who use artificial intelligence or automated tools during manuscript preparation remain responsible for the accuracy, originality, references, interpretation, and final content of the submitted manuscript.
AI tools should not be treated as authors. Where the use of such tools materially contributes to the preparation or analysis of the manuscript, authors should disclose the use where required by the journal or applicable research-ethics standards.
Authors should carefully verify AI-generated text, references, facts, data, and citations before submission.
Before submitting a manuscript, authors should confirm the following:
Authors should submit their manuscript through the journal's designated submission method and provide all information requested during the submission process.
The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with the editorial office and ensuring that all co-authors are informed about the submission and subsequent editorial communications.
Submitted manuscripts may undergo editorial screening followed by peer review where appropriate. Reviewers assess manuscripts on relevant academic and research criteria.
Possible editorial decisions may include acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. A request for revision does not constitute a guarantee of acceptance.
For complete information about the evaluation process, authors should refer to the journal's Peer Review Process .
Where a publication or processing fee applies, authors should review the applicable charges before proceeding with payment.
Authors should also review the journal's withdrawal and refund provisions before making any applicable payment.
If an author needs to withdraw a manuscript, the corresponding author should contact the editorial office through the official journal communication channel.
Authors should not submit the same manuscript to another journal while it remains under active consideration unless the withdrawal has been formally confirmed.
Authors should review the journal's Peer Review and Withdrawal Policy for applicable withdrawal and fee provisions.
Submission of a manuscript indicates that the authors have reviewed the journal's requirements and accept responsibility for the accuracy, originality, ethical compliance, and authenticity of the submitted work.
