Ready to submit
In order to submit a manuscript, authors must have an account with JMRO. If you do not have an account yet, please sign up to create one, or if you already have an account, please log in and upload your manuscript documents here.
Please ensure that the submitted manuscript has adhered to the following recommendations:
- The manuscript, including figures, tables, and references, have been formatted according to the manuscript preparation guidelines.
- All ethical, copyright, and authorship approvals are in place.
- The manuscript has not been previously published, nor is it under consideration for publication elsewhere.
- A cover letter is provided (optional, but strongly encouraged).
-
Post-Submission
Upon successful submission, you will receive a tracking number for your manuscript, and a confirmation email will be sent to acknowledge receipt.
Your manuscript will then undergo an initial assessment and decision, and if successful, it will enter the peer review process. Further details on the peer-review process can be found on our Editorial Process page.
-
After Acceptance
The manuscript will be returned to the corresponding author for final proofreading and approval by all authors. All authors must complete an Authorship Form and Publishing Agreement before publication.
After proofreading, the manuscript will then be published in both the online and print versions of the journal.
-
Post Publication
Authors are encouraged to share their work after publication (or prior to publication if posting on reputable preprint servers).
However, we recommend waiting until the manuscript is officially published before promoting the final version, because manuscripts may undergo revisions during peer review and production, and sharing earlier versions can lead to confusion and inconsistencies in the academic record, especially when citing the article.
