GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

Submission of manuscripts on subjects with relevance to the journal is welcomed but not limited to the two issues per year (June and December). Upon request to the editorial team members, the journal may publish issues that will complement the two issues each year. The submission should adhere to our guidelines in the template. Download manuscript template here.

The manuscripts are preferably written in English but when written in another language (Eg: Malay), provision of the English title, abstract and keywords are compulsory.

Manuscripts are accepted on the understanding that they have not been and will not be published elsewhere. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. The editors have the final decision on publication. Accepted manuscripts become the copyright of the journal. The journal published all manuscripts with an e-ISSN number.


Peer Review Guidelines

All submitted articles are subject to assessment and peer review to ensure editorial appropriateness and technical correctness. In order for an article to be accepted for publication, the assigned Editor will first consider if the manuscript meets minimum editorial standards and fits within the scope of the journal. If an article is within scope, then the Editor will ideally solicit at least two external peer reviewers (whose identities will remain anonymous to the authors) to assess the article before confirming a decision to accept. Decisions to reject are at the discretion of the Editor.

Our Research Integrity team will occasionally seek advice outside standard peer review, for example, on submissions with serious ethical, security, biosecurity, or societal implications. We may consult experts and the academic editor before deciding on appropriate actions, including but not limited to: recruiting reviewers with specific expertise, assessment by additional editors, and declining to further consider a submission.

Referees

Please read the requirements for submitting reviewers thoroughly and completely before preparing an appropriate list of referees to submit online with your manuscript. Failure to meet the requirements will result in the rejection of your article.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUBMITTING REVIEWERS

(1) Please prepare a list of 3 (three) proposed reviewers. You MUST include Full Names, Department, University, Country and Email Addresses for each proposed reviewer. It should be a globally geographically diverse list of potential reviewers; there should be no more than two suggested referees from any particular area/region/country. If you, or any of your co-authors, have submitted to our offices previously, to any of our journals, please note that you must have a different list of reviewers for each manuscript submitted. All proposed reviewers MUST be fluent in English to ensure the integrity of each review and the correct processing of all manuscripts.

(2) Author(s) may download suggested potential reviewers form here. Fill in and submit together with your manuscript.

(3) Proposed reviewers MUST BE knowledgeable in your area of research and these reviewers should not be persons with whom any of the authors have in the past or currently have a personal/working/professional relationship (i.e., instructors, co-workers, advisors, students, former co-authors, etc.).

(4) Reviewers MUST NOT be a member of our Journals’ Journal of Mathematical Sciences and Informatics Editorial Boards.


Article Processing Charges

There are no Article Processing Charges (APC) for publication in JMSI. The journal is Open Access that allows the publisher to make articles immediately available online to anyone to read and reuse upon publication.     


Preparation of Manuscripts

JMSI accepts research/original article and review articles. All manuscripts should adhere to the scope and policy of JMSI and should relate to mathematical sciences, computer sciences and informatics.

Manuscripts should be typed (with a wide margin and 1.5 lines spacing, Calibri (Font 12) on one side of A4 (30 x 21 cm) paper. A full-length research paper is between 8,000 to 15,000 words, a review paper may range between 8,000 to 20,000 words. For special purposes, such as distinguishing source code text or Mathematical equation, please use a 12-point italic Cambria Math font. Right margins should be justified, not ragged.

In the text, scientific names should be italicised.

Author(s) from discipline of mathematics are encourage to write 2020 Mathematics Subject Classification in the first page of manuscripts. Refer link  https://mathscinet.ams.org/mathscinet/msc/msc2020.html

In general, manuscripts should be organized in the following order:

Research/Original Article

Reference Style

Kindly format the references according to the following examples:

Indicate references by adding a number within square brackets in the text. You can refer to author names within your text, but you must always give the reference number, e.g., "in various mathematical and physical contexts [3,6]. Salleh et al. [5] obtained a different result ....".

Number references in the order they appear in your article.
