Manuscript Templates

To help authors prepare their work, MyJMS provides a one-column, APA 7th-edition manuscript template in two formats: Microsoft Word (.docx) and LaTeX (.tex). All manuscripts should be submitted as a single PDF file. Please see the Author Guidelines for full details.

Use of Generative AI

MyJMS permits the responsible use of generative-AI and AI-assisted tools in the preparation of manuscripts, provided that authors take full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their work and disclose any substantive use of such tools. AI cannot be listed as an author. Please read our full policy on the Publication Ethics page.

USE OF AI: If generative-AI or AI-assisted tools were used in preparing the manuscript, include a brief AI-use declaration before the reference list, naming the tool and its purpose. Authors remain fully responsible for the content. See the Publication Ethics page for the full policy.

SUBMISSION FORMAT

All manuscripts must be submitted as a SINGLE PDF FILE — one file containing the full text, tables, figures, and references. Prepare your manuscript using the official MyJMS template (available in Microsoft Word and LaTeX from the journal's "About the Journal" page and homepage), then export it to PDF before submitting.

Formatting: Length 3,000-8,000 words excluding references, typed using the official manuscript template. Referencing style: APA 7th Edition for all disciplines. Figures and tables must be numbered sequentially, referenced in-text, with captions and source attribution where applicable. Language: English (British or American spelling accepted, used consistently).

Submission Requirements: The manuscript must not be published or under review elsewhere. A signed authorship/originality declaration is required at submission. All authors must be listed with institutional affiliation and at least one contact email.
