Author Guidelines & Submission

Everything you need to know before submitting your manuscript to JEMS

Transparency and Preliminary Assessment

JEMS is committed to ensuring transparency, fairness, and academic integrity. All manuscripts are submitted exclusively through the ASJP platform. The editorial office conducts an initial screening to ensure compliance with formatting, ethical, and scientific requirements. Manuscripts that fail to meet these conditions are administratively rejected before peer review.
