Why Publish With IJMESS

The following strengths of IJMESS make it the best choice of researchers/ scientists to publish their valuable work for international exposure:

Open access:

Research material published in IJMESS is freely available online, so anyone can read your article without paying any fee or any other barrier to access.

Double Blind Peer Review:

Easy online submission of articles, initial desk review, double blind peer review (one internal and two external reviewers) and production quality makes the publishing process simple, effective and efficient. Articles are published after several revisions and final acceptance. We do not accept any article on "as it is" basis. Normally, the review and mentoring process may take three or more months. After successful online submission of article, the Editor checks the manuscript if it lies under scope of the journal and it follows the instructions for the authors. If Editor finds it suitable then forwards it to Associate Editor for initial desk review. At this point, Associate Editor checks the structure and research design of article and verifies that the article is plagiarism free. If Associate Editor finds a structural/design problem or plagiarism at this stage, he immediately asks corresponding author to correct the issues and resubmit to the journal. If found issues are severe or article is plagiarized, Associate Editor will reject the article. After rectified article is received, it is forwarded for full double blind peer review. IJMESS maintains a database of reviewers and sends article to two to three reviewers for review who are clear experts in subject area. If reviewers find article suitable and technically correct and highlight issues and suggest a major/minor revision, editorial office directs corresponding author to submit a revision. Otherwise reviewers reject the article. After receiving revised article, editors/reviewers again check the article and highlight remaining issues need to be addressed. Lastly, editorial office checks the formatting, citation and references style of accepted article and apply standard quality control procedures to ensure a high quality article publication.

Mentoring Services:

Research shows that the most difficult part of a research project is "reporting the research". IJMESS mentor authors in transforming their non publishable content to publishable quality information, free of cost. The reason of this service is to publish a high quality research, building long lasting relations with research community and to protect our reputation.

Advanced web technologies:

Publishing online means plenty of space for figures and schemes, which can be uploaded in numerous file formats through the journal’s publication platform. IJMESS works on semi-automatic submission and review management control panel, this makes review and publication purely transparent and efficient.
