Author Guidelines

Editorial Procedure

Papers must present scientific results that are essentially new. They have to be written in English using either American or British spelling throughout. Authors who have difficulty with English should obtain the assistance of colleagues more proficient in the language in writing their manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to peer review. Authors should submit their manuscripts to the Editorial Office online to facilitate quicker and more efficient processing. Manuscripts that are returned to the authors for revision should be sent back within the deadlines; otherwise, they will be considered withdrawn. Rejected manuscripts will not be returned to the authors. Papers that do not conform to the journal norms may be returned to the authors for revision before being considered for publication. The author is responsible for the accuracy of the references.

Suggested Reviewers

To accelerate the review process, authors should include the names, departments, institutions, and email addresses of four potential reviewers who should be Ph.D. holders and have the appropriate expertise to judge the submission. Potential reviewers should belong to different institutions and countries and with whom authors have no conflict of interest and no joint research activities during the last two years. Only international reviewers with institutional email addresses should be suggested. Suggested international reviewers should be from different institutions and countries than the authors’ countries.

Types of Papers

MJMF publishes original research articles, invited review articles, technical notes, and technical reports that add significantly to the body of knowledge concerning science and engineering.

Research Articles

Full-length Original Articles should include an Abstract (specifying the purpose, methods, results, and conclusion), Introduction, Experimental Methods, Results and Discussion, Acknowledgments, References, Figure Captions, and Tables. Graphics, images, and diagrams should be submitted separately in a high-quality original format.

Review Articles

Review articles are intended to provide an updated perspective on a certain subject that could be relevant to the readership of the journal. Review articles should include an abstract. Review articles are by invitation only.

Manuscript Submission

Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described has not been published before, that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else, and that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.

Permissions

Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.

Online Submission

Please follow the hyperlink “Submit a manuscript” and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.

Source Files

Please ensure you provide all relevant editable source files at every submission and revision. Failing to submit a complete set of editable source files will result in your article not being considered for review. For manuscript submissions, please ensure the text is provided in common word processing formats, such as .docx.

Title Page

Please make sure your title page contains the following information:

Title

The title should be concise and informative.

Author Information

- The name(s) of the author(s)
- The affiliation(s) of the author(s), i.e. institution, (department), city, (state), country
- A clear indication and an active e-mail address of the corresponding author
- If available, the 16-digit ORCID of the author(s)

If the address information is provided with the affiliation(s), it will also be published. For authors that are (temporarily) unaffiliated, we will only capture their city and country of residence, not their e-mail address unless specifically requested.

Abstract

Please provide an abstract of 150 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references.

Keywords

Please provide 4 to 6 keywords that can be used for indexing purposes.

Statements and Declarations

The following statements should be included under the heading "Statements and Declarations" for inclusion in the published paper. Please note that submissions that do not include relevant declarations will be returned as incomplete.

Competing Interests:

Authors are required to disclose financial or non-financial interests that are directly or indirectly related to the work submitted for publication. Please refer to “Competing Interests and Funding” below for more information on how to complete this section.

Text

Please ensure you provide all relevant editable source files at every submission and revision.

Text Formatting

Before submission, please make sure that your manuscript is prepared using the journal paper template. The authors must refer to MJMF for writing format and style (Please download and use as a template for initial manuscript submission).

Headings

Please use the decimal system of headings with no more than three levels.

Abbreviations

Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.

Footnotes

Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section on the title page. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.

References

Citation

Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets. Some examples:

  1. Negotiation research spans many disciplines [3].
  2. This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman [5].
  3. This effect has been widely studied [5]–[7]

Reference list

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text.

The entries in the list should be numbered consecutively.

If available, please always include DOIs as full DOI links in your reference list (e.g. “https://doi.org/abc”).
