  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.

Editorial & Publication Policies

Plagiarism (reproducing another work with at least 20% similarity without proper citation) is a serious violation. If evidence of plagiarism is found, the author may offer a rebuttal. If unsatisfactory, the manuscript will be rejected/retracted, and the author will be sanctioned from future publication in MJPAS.
