Publication Policy

All submissions to JEMUR are evaluated according to the journal's publication standards before and during peer review. Manuscripts that do not meet the requirements below may be returned without review or rejected during editorial screening.

Language and Basic Eligibility

• JEMUR accepts manuscripts only in English.
• At least one listed author must be an active undergraduate or graduate student at the time of submission.
• All listed authors must be real human contributors who can take public responsibility for the manuscript.
• Submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under review elsewhere unless formally disclosed and approved by the editorial office.

Formatting and Citation Standards

• The manuscript must be prepared in Times New Roman, 12-point font.
• The abstract must be written in English and contain a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 400 words.
• Each manuscript must include at least 5 keywords.
• References, in-text citations, quotations, tables, figures, and headings must follow APA 7 consistently.
• Manuscripts with a similarity rate above 20% are not accepted.

AI, Authorship, and Editorial Responsibility

• Artificial intelligence tools cannot be listed as authors, co-authors, corresponding authors, or contributors with authorship status.
• AI may not replace human intellectual responsibility, scholarly judgment, source evaluation, argument construction, or editorial accountability.
• AI-based language polishing, copyediting, editorial rewriting, or automated authorship-style editing is not accepted as a substitute for authorial or editorial work.
• If any AI-assisted tool was used at any stage of drafting, analysis support, transcription support, or limited technical assistance, that use must be disclosed transparently in the manuscript.
• Such disclosure should explain which tool was used, for what purpose, and how the human authors verified and revised the output.

Rights and Research Integrity

• All intellectual and creative rights in the submitted work belong to the author or authors.
• The authors are fully responsible for permissions, third-party material, image rights, interview consent, and ethical approval where applicable.
• Accurate citation, source transparency, and avoidance of plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, and misleading representation are mandatory.
• Human-subject, animal-subject, archival, fieldwork, or institutional approval requirements must be met and reported when relevant.

JEMUR may request clarification, documentation, correction, or disclosure at any stage of editorial review if authorship, ethics, originality, AI use, or rights ownership require verification.
