Information For Authors

Note to the Authors and Contributors:

  1. All manuscripts should be submitted online through http://errc.ctu.edu.ph/ojs/index.php/magister.
  2. Articles submitted will undergo a double-blind peer review process.
  3. Ensure that manuscripts submitted to M-JER have not been previously published and are not simultaneously under consideration with any other form of publication.
  4. Contributions should be in American English. Technical writing formats, including in-text citations and references, must adhere to APA 7th Edition guidelines.
  5. Use the standard symbol font to create special characters or Greek letters. Avoid using graphics or objects embedded in the text.
  6. Adhere to general standards and mechanics in writing, including spelling, punctuation, and capitalization.
  7. Upon submission, the corresponding author must prepare the following documents for upload to the M-JER online journal system:
    • Blinded Manuscript: This document should contain the manuscript without any author details. All identifying information that could reveal the authors' identities must be removed. If authors cite their work, use "(Author/s, 2024)" for in-text citations. In the References section, format all in-text citations by the authors as "Author/s. 2024." and place them before the alphabetical order of other references.
    • Manuscript with Author Details: This document should include the title page with author information. List authors with their given names and surnames. Indicate affiliations with labels (a, b, c, etc.), and use an asterisk (*) to denote the corresponding author. Deceased authors who qualify for co-authorship should be marked with a † symbol.
  8. The corresponding author must have an ORCID identifier. All co-authors are also encouraged to provide an ORCID. ORCID is a non-profit registry that provides unique digital identifiers for researchers. Registration is free at https://orcid.org/signin.
  9. For multiple authorship, specify each author's contributions under the side heading "Authors' Contributions" before the references.
  10. If there is a conflict of interest declaration, add a side heading, "Conflicts of Interest," before the "Authors' Contributions" section.
  11. The M-JER editorial board is not responsible for lost articles and reserves the right to decide which articles to publish.
  12. Unpublished articles will not be returned; authors should keep a secure copy of their papers.
  13. Comply with peer-reviewed comments within the specified period.
  14. M-JER is an open-access journal that permits unrestricted use and sharing of the content, provided that the original work is properly cited.
  15. For preprints, ensure that the research article is not communicated with any media prior to publication.
