For Authors

All manuscripts are submitted through OJS at ojs.jemur.org, but authors should prepare their work according to the full requirements below before opening the submission form.

Who May Submit

  • At least one author must be an active undergraduate or graduate student.
  • Co-authored work is welcome when contribution and authorship are represented clearly.
  • The corresponding author must ensure that every listed author approves the final submitted version.

Manuscript Preparation

  • The manuscript must be written in English.

  • The submission must remain at or below a 20% similarity rate.

Content Expectations

  • Research articles should define a clear problem, method, source base, and conclusion.
  • Literature reviews should offer analytical synthesis rather than descriptive summary alone.

  • Figures, tables, appendices, and interview materials must be accurate, legible, and properly attributed.

AI and Disclosure

  • AI tools cannot be listed as authors.

Before Uploading to OJS

  • Prepare the manuscript file, title, abstract, keywords, author details, and any required supplementary files in final form.
  • Check permissions for images, figures, interview material, or third-party content.
  • Ensure that the manuscript reflects the final author-approved version.
  • Use OJS for submission, metadata entry, revision upload, and editorial communication only after these requirements are met.

Submission Checklist

  • Confirm that the manuscript is written in English and fits JEMUR's undergraduate, graduate, and interdisciplinary scope.
  • Format the manuscript in Times New Roman, 12 pt, prepare a 250-400 word abstract, and provide at least 5 keywords.
