• Author Guidelines

Instruction for Author Guidelines:

The submitted manuscripts should have minimum basic standards to be able to read and interpret the content by the Editorial team. The submissions which do not meet these criteria will be sent back to the authors.

Article Types & Format

Original/Research articles These are the articles which deal with unpublished data providing a detailed explanation of the Methods, Methodology and the results of an investigation supported by evidence. These articles, in general, can be divided into sections:

Introduction:

Identifies the aim of the research

Methods:

Describes the methods applied, study design and the all the details regarding the selection and of the participants of the study

Results:

Provides information regarding the results of the research

Conclusions:

Addressing relevant implications for clinical practice or health policy

Review

Deals with reporting of the literature review of already published data, providing a detailed and in-depth discussion of significant research topics and their development over time.

Case Reports

Articles describing the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of clinical cases—usually novel cases. These may also include a literature review of reported cases.

Editorial

Short articles written by the Editors or editorial staff of the journal.

Commentaries

Discuss various aspects of a focused research topic, offering critiques, solutions, or enhancements.

Corrigendum

Rectifications or adjustments made in an article due to author errors.

Expert Opinion

Articles written by experts to promote research or support knowledge advancement in specific areas.

Letter to Editor

Articles addressed to the Editor-in-Chief that comment, agree, or disagree with content in published articles. They can also correct or critique perceived errors.

Perspective

Expresses the author's individual viewpoint on a topic of interest. Basic manuscript structure includes: Cover Letter, Title page, Abstract and keywords, Main Content, Acknowledgments, References, Tables, and Figure legends.

Cover Letter

Should state article type, confirm exclusivity, summarize main points, and optionally name five referees with contact details.

Title Page

Max 15 words; should describe the work clearly. Use Times New Roman Bold, Title Case, and indicate corresponding author.

Abstract

Briefly states objectives, work done, significance, and findings. Should not exceed 300 words and must not contain citations.

Keywords

Include 7–10 key terms relevant to the study.

Abbreviations

Define all abbreviations at first use. If many, include a list under keywords.

Manuscript Text

No fixed structure; authors may divide as per study type. Cite references in superscript, number tables/figures in citation order, and place tables at the end with figures as separate files.

Conflicts of Interest

Declare any author conflicts to maintain transparency post-publication.

Acknowledgments

Mention contributors who don’t qualify for authorship. Include funding, assistance, and prior conference presentations. Obtain consent before naming individuals.

References

Follow Vancouver style. Include at least one online link (preferably PubMed). Format: Author(s). Title. Journal Abbr. Year;Volume:Pages.

Tables

• Place after references

• Use Word table tools, not figures

• Number in order of citation

• Do not duplicate data in the text

• References within tables must be listed properly

Figure Legends

• Include at manuscript end

• Define symbols/parts clearly

• Follow citation order

• Get permission for reused figures

• Figures must be .jpg/.tif and high resolution

• Do not submit figures as Word, PPT, or PDF

• Mask identifiable clinical photos or provide consent

Article Processing Charges

Materials Science and Engineering Journal operates on an open-access model to ensure that all published content is freely accessible to readers worldwide. To support the publication process and maintain high editorial standards, an article processing charge (APC) applies to accepted manuscripts.

Details regarding the APC will be shared with authors upon acceptance of the manuscript. Authors are encouraged to contact the editorial office if they require additional information or support regarding publication fees.

Withdraw Policy: 

If, due to certain circumstances, the author wishes to withdraw the article after submission, a withdrawal fee will be applicable.

Copyright

Copyright protects article content and findings. Academixs defends author work and responds seriously to claims of plagiarism, ethics breaches, or fraud. Contact us if you become aware of any such issues.
