Manuscript Preparation

Manuscripts should be written in clear, concise, and grammatically correct English. The structure may vary according to article type, but a standard research manuscript should normally include:

• Title
• Author Information
• Abstract
• Keywords
• Introduction
• Literature Review
• Materials and Methods
• Results or Analysis
• Discussion
• Conclusion
• Acknowledgements
• Funding Statement
• Competing Interests
• Data Availability
• Ethical Approval

Tables, figures, appendices, datasets, and supplementary material should be clearly numbered, appropriately titled, cited in the manuscript, and accompanied by source or permission information where applicable.

Submission Files

Authors should provide all files required for editorial assessment and double-blind peer review. These may include:

• Cover Letter
• Separate Title Page
• Anonymized Manuscript
• Figures and Tables
• Supplementary Files
• Ethical Approval Documents
• Copyright Permissions
• Conflict-of-Interest Statement
• Author Contribution Statement
Title Page Requirements

The separate title page should contain:

  • • Complete manuscript title
  • • Full names of all authors
  • • Departments and institutional affiliations
  • • City and country information
  • • Corresponding author’s contact details
  • • ORCID identifiers, where available
  • • Funding and competing-interest statements
  • • Author contribution information
Anonymized Manuscript

To support double-blind peer review, the main manuscript should not contain information that directly identifies the authors. Authors should remove:

  • • Author names and contact details
  • • Institutional affiliations
  • • Personal acknowledgements
  • • Identifying document properties
  • • Direct references revealing authorship
  • • Identifying information in file names or supplementary files
Ethical Compliance

Every submission must comply with applicable standards of research ethics, publication ethics, and responsible scholarly conduct. Authors are expected to:

• Submit original and unpublished work.
• Avoid plagiarism and redundant publication.
• Report data and findings accurately.
• Avoid fabrication and falsification.
• Disclose competing interests.
• Identify all funding sources.
• Obtain ethical approval where required.
• Obtain informed consent where applicable.
• Protect confidential participant information.

Failure to comply with ethical requirements may result in clarification requests, suspension of review, manuscript rejection, withdrawal of acceptance, correction, retraction, or another proportionate editorial action.

Authorship and Contributions

Authorship should be limited to individuals who made substantial contributions to the conception, design, conduct, analysis, interpretation, or preparation of the research.

Every listed author must approve the submitted manuscript and accept responsibility for their contribution. Individuals who provided limited administrative, technical, financial, or language support should normally be acknowledged rather than listed as authors.

Requests to add, remove, or rearrange authors after submission must include a clear explanation and written agreement from all affected authors.

Originality and Similarity Assessment

Submitted manuscripts may be examined through similarity-detection software and editorial checks. Similarity reports are evaluated by editors and are not treated as automatic proof of plagiarism.

The source, extent, context, attribution, and nature of textual overlap are considered before an editorial decision is made.

Substantial unattributed copying, duplicate publication, misleading paraphrasing, or concealed text recycling may result in rejection or further investigation.

Peer Review Process

Manuscripts passing preliminary editorial screening are normally evaluated through double-blind peer review by at least two independent subject experts. Assessment may consider:

Originality and novelty
Scholarly contribution
Methodological rigor
Accuracy of analysis
Relevance to journal scope
Ethical compliance
Literature engagement
Clarity and organization
Validity of conclusions

Reviewer recommendations inform the editorial decision, but final responsibility for acceptance or rejection rests with the Editor-in-Chief or an authorized handling editor.

Editorial Decision Categories
Accept Suitable for publication subject to final checks.
Minor Revision Limited corrections or clarifications are required.
Major Revision Substantial revision and further assessment are required.
Reject The manuscript does not sufficiently meet journal requirements.

A revision request does not constitute acceptance. Revised manuscripts remain subject to further editorial assessment and peer review where required.

Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence

Authors who use generative artificial intelligence tools during manuscript preparation should disclose their use in an appropriate section of the manuscript or accompanying declaration.

The disclosure should identify:

  • • The name and version of the AI tool, where available
  • • The purpose for which it was used
  • • The extent of the assistance provided

AI tools must not be listed as authors because they cannot accept responsibility, approve publication, disclose competing interests, or be accountable for the work.

Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, citations, confidentiality, legality, and integrity of all submitted content.

Copyright and Licensing

Authors retain copyright and ownership of their original scholarly work. By agreeing to publication, authors grant MMRR a non-exclusive right to publish, distribute, preserve, and identify itself as the original publisher of the article.

Unless otherwise stated on an individual article, published content is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licence (CC BY 4.0).

The licence permits sharing, redistribution, adaptation, and reuse in any medium or format, including commercial reuse, provided that appropriate attribution is given, the licence is identified, and modifications are clearly indicated.

Research Data and Supporting Evidence

Authors should preserve research records, data, instruments, analytical materials, and supporting documentation for a period appropriate to the discipline and applicable institutional requirements.

A data-availability statement should explain whether supporting data are publicly accessible, available upon reasonable request, restricted for ethical or legal reasons, or not applicable.

Editors may request supporting evidence when reasonably necessary to assess research quality, reproducibility, or integrity.

Copyrighted and Third-Party Material

Authors are responsible for obtaining written permission to reproduce copyrighted tables, figures, photographs, questionnaires, instruments, maps, extensive quotations, or other protected material.

Permission documentation should clearly identify the material, copyright holder, permitted use, and any required credit line.

Third-party material excluded from the article’s open licence must carry a separate rights or credit statement.

Publication Charges

Any manuscript submission, processing, publication, or other author charges applicable to MMRR must be transparently disclosed through the journal’s official Article Processing Charges policy.

Authors should consult the current charges policy before submission. No payment should be interpreted as guaranteeing editorial review, acceptance, or publication.

Communication with Authors

The Editorial Office communicates with authors regarding manuscript receipt, screening, reviewer comments, revision requests, editorial decisions, production requirements, proofs, and publication status.

The corresponding author is responsible for maintaining communication with the journal and keeping all co-authors appropriately informed.

Editorial Office Contact

Authors may contact the Editorial Office regarding manuscript submission, journal scope, peer review, publication procedures, corrections, complaints, appeals, ethical concerns, or other publication-related matters through the official contact information displayed on the journal website.

Revised Manuscript Submission

When revision is requested, authors should submit:

  • • A revised and clearly marked manuscript
  • • A clean version of the revised manuscript, where requested
  • • A point-by-point response to reviewer and editorial comments
  • • A clear explanation for recommendations not followed
  • • Updated declarations, data, figures, or permissions where applicable

Authors should respond professionally and substantively to all comments. Failure to submit a revision within the specified period may result in closure of the manuscript record.

Author Responsibility

Authors are responsible for the originality, accuracy, authenticity, completeness, ethical compliance, permissions, citations, data integrity, and scholarly reliability of their submitted work.

Submission of a manuscript confirms that all listed authors have reviewed and approved the submission, accept responsibility for their contributions, and agree to comply with the editorial, ethical, copyright, licensing, correction, and publication policies of Modern Multidisciplinary Research Review.
