Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The authors confirm that they wrote the manuscript themselves, without any ghostwriting services. The JEMDS journal does not allow the use of AI software for text production, and manuscripts that use such tools will be rejected. The editorial board has the right to reject manuscripts for these reasons at any point in the review or publication process.
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Research paper or article and refers to the inclusion of URLs for the references cited in the paper. If the URLs are available, they will be provided to allow readers to easily access the sources and verify the information presented in the paper.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

Scientific Writing

  • Authors are therefore requested to submit the following:
    • A blinded manuscript with at least 3000 words that does not include the names or affiliations of the authors either in the text or on the title page. In the article text, self-identifying citations and references should be avoided.
    • A separate title page with the title, all authors' names, affiliations, and contact details. This page needs to contain any acknowledgments, disclosures, or funding details.
  • The work described has never been published before, is not currently being considered for publication elsewhere, and has received the implicit or explicit approval of all co-authors and responsible authorities at the institute where the work was conducted. Should there be any demands for compensation, the publisher shall not be liable.
  • Furthermore, Authors are obliged to participate in the peer review process;
  • The authors confirm that they wrote the manuscript without AI software for text production, and manuscripts that use such tools will be rejected.
  • If it turns out that a manuscript has significant issues with its scientific content or that our publishing guidelines have been broken, the Team reserves the right to reject it even after it has been accepted.
