Editorial and Publishing Policies

IJMSA publishes four issues per year, and the volume number is incremented annually. Articles are identified by volume, issue, and a six-digit article number, for example: Int. J. Microgravity Sci. Appl. 39(1), 390102 (2022).

Manuscripts submitted to IJMSA must not be under consideration by another journal simultaneously. Furthermore, manuscripts that have already been published or are currently under review elsewhere should not be submitted to IJMSA as original research articles.

Publication Ethics

IJMSA upholds the highest standards of publication ethics. Authors are required to comply with the ethical principles set forth in the JASMA Code of Conduct and must ensure that their submissions are free from any form of research misconduct or inappropriate practices.

In the event that the publisher or editor becomes aware of, or receives a formal complaint regarding, research misconduct associated with an article published in the journal, the matter will be addressed in strict accordance with the guidelines established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). For detailed information, please refer to the official COPE guidelines: https://publicationethics.org.

IJMSA is committed to maintaining integrity, transparency, and accountability throughout the publication process.
