A PEER-REVIEWED QUARTERLY

Guidelines for authors

Authors are encouraged to submit complete, original and previously un-published scientific or technical research works, which are not under reviews in any other journals and/or conferences. Significantly expand-ed and updated versions of conference presentations may also be con-sidered for publication. In addition, the Journal will publish reviews as well as opinions and reflections in a special section.Submissions for the journal are accepted at any time. If meeting the gen-eral criteria and ethical standards of the scientific publication, they will be rapidly forwarded to peer-review by experts of high scientific compe-tence, carefully evaluated, and considered for selection. Once accepted by the Editorial Board, the papers will be edited and published as soon as possible.When preparing a manuscript for JPMTR, please strictly comply with the journal guidelines. The Editorial Board retains the right to reject with-out comment or explanation manuscripts that are not prepared in ac-cordance with these guidelines and/or if the appropriate level required for scientific publishing cannot be attained.A – GeneralThe text should be cohesive, logically organized, and thus easy to fol-low by someone with common knowledge in the field. Do not include information that is not relevant to your research question(s) stated in the introduction.Only contributions submitted in English will be considered for publica-tion. If English is not your native language, please arrange for the text to be reviewed by a technical editor with skills in English and scientif-ic communications. Maintain a consistent style with regard to spelling (either UK or US English, but never both), punctuation, nomenclature, symbols etc. Make sure that you are using proper English scientific terms. Literal translations are often wrong. Terms that do not have a commonly known English translation should be explicitly defined in the manuscript. Acronyms and abbreviations used must also be explicitly defined. Generally, sentences should not be very long and their structure should be relatively simple, with the subject located close to its verb. Do not overuse passive constructions.Do not copy substantial parts of your previous publications and do not submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at a time. Clearly distinguish your original results and ideas from those of other authors and from your earlier publications – provide citations whenever relevant.For more details on ethics in scientific publication consult Guidelines, published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE):<https://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines>If it is necessary to use an illustration, diagram, etc. from an earlier pub-lication, it is the author’s responsibility to ensure that permission to reproduce such an illustration, diagram, etc. is obtained from the copy-right holder. If a figure is copied, adapted or redrawn, the original source must be acknowledged.Submitting the contribution to JPMTR, the author(s) confirm that it has not been published previously, that it is not under consideration for pub-lication elsewhere and – once accepted and published – it will not be published under the same title and in the same form, in English or in any other language. The published paper may, however, be republished as part of an academic thesis to be defended by the author. The publisher retains the right to publish the printed paper online in the electronic form and to distribute and market the Journal containing the respective paper without any limitations.B – Structure of the manuscriptPreliminaryTitle: Should be concise and unambiguous, and must reflect the con-tents of the article. Information given in the title does not need to be repeated in the abstract (as they are always published jointly), although some overlap is unavoidable.List of authors: I.e. all persons who contributed substantially to study planning, experimental work, data collection or interpretation of results and wrote or critically revised the manuscript and approved its final ver-sion. Enter full names (first and last), followed by the present address, as well as the E-mail addresses. Separately enter complete details of the corresponding author – full mailing address, telephone number, and E-mail. Editors will communicate only with the corresponding author.Abstract: Should not exceed 500 words. Briefly explain why you con-ducted the research (background), what question(s) you answer (ob-jectives), how you performed the research (methods), what you found (results: major data, relationships), and your interpretation and main consequences of your findings (discussion, conclusions). The abstract must reflect the content of the article, including all keywords, as for most readers it will be the major source of information about your research. Make sure that all the information given in the abstract also appears in the main body of the article.Keywords: Include three to five relevant scientific terms that are not mentioned in the title. Keep the keywords specific. Avoid more general and/or descriptive terms, unless your research has strong interdiscipli-nary significance.

Scientific contentIntroduction and background: Explain why it was necessary to carry out the research and the specific research question(s) you will answer. Start from more general issues and gradually focus on your research question(s). Describe relevant earlier research in the area and how your work is related to this.Methods: Describe in detail how the research was carried out (e.g. study area, data collection, criteria, origin of analyzed material, sample size, number of measurements, equipment, data analysis, statistical methods and software used). All factors that could have affected the results need to be considered. Make sure that you comply with the ethical standards, with respect to the environmental protection, other authors and their published works, etc.Results: Present the new results of your research (previously published data should not be included in this section). All tables and figures must be mentioned in the main body of the article, in the order in which they appear. Make sure that the statistical analysis is appropriate. Do not fab-ricate or distort any data, and do not exclude any important data; simi-larly, do not manipulate images to make a false impression on readers.Discussion: Answer your research questions (stated at the end of the introduction) and compare your new results with published data, as ob-jectively as possible. Discuss their limitations and highlight your main findings. At the end of Discussion or in a separate section, emphasize your major conclusions, pointing out scientific contribution and the practical significance of your study.Conclusions: The main conclusions emerging from the study should be briefly presented or listed in this section, with the reference to the aims of the research and/or questions mentioned in the Introduction and elaborated in the Discussion.Note: Some papers might require different structure of the scientif-ic content. In such cases, however, it is necessary to clearly name and mark the appropriate sections, or to consult the editors. Sections from Introduction until the end of Conclusions must be numbered. Number the section titles consecutively as 1., 2., 3., ... while subsections should be hierarchically numbered as 2.1, 2.3, 3.4 etc. Only Arabic numerals will be accepted.Acknowledgments: Place any acknowledgements at the end of your manuscript, after conclusions and before the list of literature references.References: The list of sources referred to in the text should be collect-ed in alphabetical order on at the end of the paper. Make sure that you have provided sources for all important information extracted from oth-er publications. References should be given only to documents which any reader can reasonably be expected to be able to find in the open literature or on the web, and the reference should be complete, so that it is possible for the reader to locate the source without difficulty. The number of cited works should not be excessive - do not give many sim-ilar examples.Responsibility for the accuracy of bibliographic citations lies entirely with the authors. Please use exclusively the Harvard Referencing System. For more information consult the Guide to Harvard style of Referencing, 6th edition, 2019, used with consent of Anglia Ruskin University, available at:<https://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/files/Harvard_referencing_201718.pdf>C – Technical requirements for text processingFor technical requirement related to your submission, i.e. page layout, formatting of the text, as well of graphic objects (images, charts, ta-bles etc.) please see detailed instructions at:<http://www.iarigai.org/publications/journals/>D – Submission of the paper and further procedureBefore sending your paper, check once again that it corresponds to the requirements explicated above, with special regard to the ethical issues, structure of the paper as well as formatting.Once completed, send your paper as an attachment to:[email protected] necessary, compress the file before sending it. You will be acknowl-edged on the receipt within 48 hours, along with the code under which your submission will be processed.The editors will check the manuscript and inform you whether it has to be updated regarding the structure and formatting. The corrected man-uscript is expected within 15 days.Your paper will be forwarded for anonymous evaluation by two experts of international reputation in your specific field. Their comments and remarks will be in due time disclosed to the author(s), with the request for changes, explanations or corrections (if any) as demanded by the referees.After the updated version is approved by the reviewers, the Editorial Board will decide on the publishing of the paper. However, the Board retains the right to ask for a third independent opinion, or to definitely reject the contribution.Printing and publishing of papers, once accepted by the Editorial Board, will be carried out at the earliest possible convenience.
