How to Submit Your Research Paper to IJMSRT

Welcome to the International Journal of Modern Science and Technology Research (IJMSRT). We have designed our manuscript submission process to be simple, transparent, and author-friendly. Whether you are a first-time researcher or an experienced academic, our editorial team is committed to guiding you through every stage of publication.

IJMSRT is an international, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, and open access journal that welcomes original research from authors around the world. Our submission process ensures that every manuscript is handled professionally, reviewed fairly, and evaluated according to established editorial and ethical standards.

This page explains each step involved in submitting and publishing your research paper with IJMSRT.

Step 1: Prepare Your Manuscript

Before submitting your manuscript, ensure that it is complete, well-organized, and follows the journal's formatting requirements.

Your manuscript should include:

• Title of the research paper
• Full names of all authors
• Institutional affiliations
• Corresponding author's email address
• Abstract
• Keywords
• Introduction
• Literature Review (if applicable)
• Research Methodology
• Results and Discussion
• Conclusion
• Acknowledgements (if applicable)
• References

Authors are encouraged to carefully proofread their manuscripts before submission. Well-prepared manuscripts help facilitate a faster editorial evaluation and peer review process.

Step 2: Verify Originality and Ethical Compliance

IJMSRT accepts only original scholarly work.

Before submission, authors should confirm that:

• The manuscript has not been published elsewhere.
• The manuscript is not under review by another journal.
• All listed authors have approved the submission.
• All data presented are accurate and authentic.
• Proper citations and references have been included.
• Necessary ethical approvals have been obtained where required.

Maintaining publication ethics is essential for preserving the integrity of scholarly communication.

Step 3: Submit Your Manuscript

Authors can submit their manuscripts through the official manuscript submission system available on the IJMSRT website.

During submission, authors may be asked to provide:

• Author details
• Corresponding author information
• Manuscript title
• Abstract
• Keywords
• Subject area
• Manuscript file
• Supplementary files (if applicable)

Please ensure that all information entered during submission is accurate.

After successful submission, the editorial office acknowledges receipt of the manuscript.

Step 4: Initial Editorial Screening

Once your manuscript is received, it undergoes an initial editorial assessment.

During this stage, the editorial team evaluates:

• Whether the manuscript fits the journal's scope.
• Completeness of the submission.
• Overall manuscript structure.
• Language quality.
• Compliance with submission guidelines.
• Ethical considerations.

The purpose of this screening is to ensure that only suitable manuscripts proceed to peer review.

Step 5: Double Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts that successfully pass the initial editorial screening are sent for Double Blind Peer Review.

In this process:

• Reviewers do not know the identity of the authors.
• Authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

Independent experts evaluate the manuscript based on:

• Originality
• Research quality
• Methodology
• Scientific or academic contribution
• Clarity of presentation
• Interpretation of results
• References and supporting literature
• Overall significance

Reviewer comments help improve the quality of accepted manuscripts.

Step 6: Editorial Decision

After peer review, the editorial team carefully considers the reviewers' recommendations and makes one of the following decisions:

Accepted

The manuscript is accepted for publication.

Minor Revision

The manuscript requires small corrections before acceptance.

Major Revision

Substantial improvements are requested before the manuscript can be reconsidered.

Rejected

The manuscript does not meet the journal's editorial or academic standards.

Authors receive the editorial decision along with reviewer comments, where applicable.

Step 7: Revise the Manuscript (If Required)

If revisions are requested, authors should carefully address all reviewer comments.

When submitting the revised version:

• Respond to each reviewer comment clearly.
• Highlight changes made in the manuscript where appropriate.
• Ensure that all requested corrections have been completed.

Prompt and thorough revisions help accelerate the publication process.

Step 8: Acceptance Notification

Once the revised manuscript satisfies the editorial and peer review requirements, the corresponding author receives an official Acceptance Letter from IJMSRT.

The acceptance notification confirms that the manuscript has been approved for publication, subject to completion of the remaining publication formalities.

Step 9: Copyright Agreement and Publication Requirements

After acceptance, authors may be requested to complete the required publication documentation, including the Copyright Agreement or any other forms required by the journal.

The corresponding author should ensure that all requested documents are completed accurately and submitted within the specified time.

Step 10: Article Processing Charge (If Applicable)

If an Article Processing Charge (APC) applies, payment instructions are shared after the manuscript has been accepted.

The editorial office provides secure payment details and confirms receipt once the payment process is completed.

Any applicable publication charges are communicated transparently before publication.

Step 11: Production and Final Proofreading

Before publication, accepted manuscripts undergo final production.

This stage may include:

• Copyediting
• Formatting
• Layout preparation
• Metadata preparation
• DOI registration
• Final quality check

Authors may be contacted if minor clarifications are required during production.

Step 12: Online Publication

After completing all editorial and production processes, the article is published online in the appropriate issue of IJMSRT.

Published articles receive:

• Online publication
• Crossref DOI assignment
• Permanent article webpage
• Citation information
• Global accessibility through the journal website

Once published, articles become freely available to readers under the journal's Open Access policy.’
