Authors submitting manuscripts to Jurnal Ilmiah Mappadising (JIM) must ensure that their manuscripts are original, relevant to the journal's focus and scope, and have not been published or submitted simultaneously to another journal.
Research manuscripts should generally contain:
The Methods section must describe the research design, setting, participants or data sources, sampling procedures, instruments, data collection, and analysis in sufficient detail to allow readers to assess the study. Authors should explain how sample size was determined and report the validity and reliability of measurement instruments where relevant.
Results must be reported accurately and consistently across the text, tables, and figures. Conclusions must be supported by the findings and account for the study's limitations. Observational studies should avoid causal claims that are not supported by their design.
Research involving human participants must report approval from the appropriate research ethics committee, including the committee name and approval reference number where available. Where a formal exemption applies, authors must explain its basis and identify the authority that granted it.
Authors must describe the informed consent procedures applicable to their study and the measures taken to protect participants' privacy and confidentiality. Identifiable patient information or images require appropriate consent for publication. Ethical approval and consent information must be reported accurately and must not be fabricated.
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the JIM online submission system. Authors must complete all required submission metadata accurately, including the title, abstract, keywords, author names, affiliations, and corresponding author details.
Before submission, authors should check that all required files are included and that the manuscript follows the journal's template and these guidelines.
