Author guidelines

1. Authors should prepare three main documents for submission:

   • List of Contributors,
   • Cover Letter,
   • Manuscript.

   All these documents should be submitted electronically using the PMR online submission system.

   List of Contributors: Authors are asked to provide List of Contributors that should include the following:

   1. Author names (please clearly indicate the given name(s) and family name(s) of each author and check that all names are accurately spelled.
   2. Affiliations (please include the author’s current institution, city, and country). Each author on the list must have an affiliation (if an author has multiple affiliations, enter all affiliations).
   3. E-mail addresses (please indicate the e-mail address of each author).

   Cover Letter: Authors are asked to provide Cover Letter that should include the following:

   1. Introduction of the authors' work to the Editor and an explanation of why the manuscript will be of interest to the journal's readers.
   2. Assurance to the Editor that the manuscript is original (relevance and novelty of the manuscript content should be emphasized) and that there are no conflicts of interest that would affect the decision to publish it.
   3. Notification to the Editor that the manuscript has been reviewed and certified by editing and proofreading services (if applicable)."

   Manuscript:

   1. Manuscripts submitted to PMR will go through a double-blind peer-review process.
   2. Typically, the acceptance of manuscripts by the PMR journal takes anywhere between three to six months (peer review and production processes).
   3. The manuscript should fall within the scope of PMR (see link: Scope of Journal), and the motivation and relevance of the research must be clearly emphasized in the introduction section.
   4. Authors are asked to write the text in good English.
   5. Authors who feel their English language manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors should consider using an editing and proofreading service.
   6. The submission may be rejected if written in poor English or not written according to the Instructions for Authors.
   7. The length of the manuscript should be appropriate for sufficient interest for the space required.
   8. The manuscript should be strictly in accordance with the prescribed format of PMR (see link: Instructions for Authors).
   9. The manuscript text should be divided into the following sections:
   • Introduction
     • Provide a brief context for the readers.
     • Define the problem.
     • Highlight existing solutions found in other authors' publications and their limitations.
     • Emphasize the anticipated contributions and objectives of your research, underlining its relevance and novelty.
   • Methods (Experimental, Case Study, etc.):
     • Explain how you approached and studied the problem.
     • Provide comprehensive details about the methods employed, ensuring there is enough information for others to replicate your work.
     • When referring to previously published solutions, briefly mention them without going into extensive detail, as the focus should be on your own methods and contributions.
   • Results
     • Ensure that the presentation of results is clear and easily comprehensible.
     • Highlight the key findings derived from your research.
     • Give special attention to any unexpected or noteworthy findings.
     • Utilize visual aids such as illustrations and figures to enhance the presentation of results.
   • Discussion (may be combined with Results if necessary):
     • Analyze the significance and implications of the obtained results.
     • Ensure that the discussion directly relates to the presented results.
     • Provide a comparative analysis between your results and those published by other researchers.
   • Conclusions:
     • List only the key findings (not experimental observations) of the study, following the presentation and discussion of observations.
     • Clearly and precisely state what you have accomplished in the context of the study's objectives.
     • Mention any potential future research directions related to the topic.
   • References:
     • Limit the number of references to no more than 30, with a preference for around 20.
     • Carefully select references based on their relevance to the content and purpose of your paper, rather than as a mere list of publications you've read.
       • Ensure that the references you cite provide clear and meaningful support for the statements attributed to them.
       • Only include references from original publications, not from previously published reference lists.
       • Ensure that all cited publications are readily accessible to the public through reputable sources like Mendeley, Scopus, Web of Science, etc. Do not cite publications that are unavailable and avoid citing uncontrolled sources like Wikipedia.
     • Avoid grouping multiple citations into a single reference note like [1-4] or [10, 13, 17], and others. Instead, summarize the main contribution of each referenced paper in separate sentences.
     • Minimize self-citations, aiming for no more than two self-citations.
     • Avoid excessive citations from the same region, especially from your own university and country.
     • Refrain from citing publications in languages other than English. When source is in a different language than English, include a translation of the source title in square brackets [English translation of article title].
