NJMS Policies: Essential Guidelines for Authors
The NJMS policies uphold high standards in research publishing. As a prestigious journal, NJMS ensures that all submissions meet ethical and quality benchmarks in line with global best practices. These guidelines are regularly updated to reflect changes in research standards, helping authors submit manuscripts that are both credible and impactful.
Understanding these policies is critical for authors preparing to submit their work. They provide clear guidance on every step, from submission formats to ethical declarations, ensuring transparency and integrity in each publication.
Core NJMS Policies
Research Ethics and Integrity
NJMS requires all authors to follow strict ethical guidelines. This includes obtaining ethical approval for research involving human or animal subjects and ensuring data accuracy and transparency. Authors must comply with standards for informed consent and proper data handling to maintain research integrity.
Manuscript Submission Requirements
Before submitting a manuscript, authors must follow the formatting and structural guidelines laid out in the NJMS policies. These cover aspects like manuscript length, citation style, and conflict of interest declarations. Following these rules ensures a smooth review process and increases the chances of acceptance.
The Peer Review Process
NJMS uses a double-blind peer review system. This ensures impartiality by keeping both the authors’ and reviewers’ identities anonymous. Objectivity is key in this process, as reviewers focus solely on the research’s quality without bias.
