IJMSOR requires all manuscripts to meet reporting standards that ensure methodological rigor, transparency, reproducibility, and clarity.

Authors must provide sufficient detail to enable critical evaluation and, where possible, replication.

 

Mandatory requirements

Manuscripts must explicitly report:

• Research objectives and questions
• Theoretical framework
• Study design and methodology
• Data sources and characteristics
• Sample/corpus description
• Variables and measurements
• Analytical procedures and models
• Software and tools used (with versions, if applicable)
• Model assumptions and validation criteria
• Complete results with uncertainty measures
• Critical discussion and limitations

 

Transparency and reproducibility

• Authors should provide access to data, code, and materials, or specify access conditions.
• Restrictions must be clearly justified.
• Computational studies must include sufficient detail for analytical replication.

 

Study-specific standards

• Quantitative: sample size, statistical tests, confidence intervals
• Qualitative: data collection, coding, validation
• Modeling/simulation: parameters, scenarios, assumptions
• AI/ML: datasets, splits, metrics, validation

 

Required statements

• Data Availability Statement
• Funding Statement
• Conflict of Interest
• Author Contributions (CRediT)

Non-compliance may result in editorial rejection.
