Original Articles: It usually needs to be broken down into an abstract, Introduction/background, methods, results/discussion, conclusion, (recommendation, where applicable), and references. The abstract should contain a maximum of 250 words and minimum of 150 words. At least four keywords are required. Paper length should have at least 1500 words and not more than 3,500 words. Write using Times News Roman (font size of 12, line spacing 1.5). A maximum of 8 authors is permitted, and additional authors should be listed in an ad hoc appendix.

Review Articles: MAJAE template must be strictly adhered to for all the accepted papers. Authors should have an informative, structured abstract of about 200 words. Reviews may also include meta-analyses, annotated bibliography, guidelines, and consensus papers by professional societies or working groups. These studies must be conducted following proper, widely accepted procedures.

Letters to the editor: should be from 250 to 1,000 words in length. Authors of letters to the editor should provide a short title for their letter.

Original Articles:

The manuscript should be organized according to the below mentioned sections. MAJAE template will also guide you:

Title page

• The title must be relevant to the research and should be appealing. It should not exceed 15 words.
• Author list, his/her contributions (not necessary) and affiliation. Complete names (first, middle, and last name) of all the authors along with the name, phone number, email of the corresponding author must be mentioned.
• Affiliations of the author and co-authors should be included in this section.

Abstract

• Abstract should be managed in 150-250 words, briefly describing the background, objective(s), methodology, major finding(s), conclusions, recommendations and implications where applicable.

Keywords

• Appropriate words need to be selected as keywords at the bottom of abstract.
• It is better if these keywords are different from the words of the title.
• 4-6 words are enough to characterize the keywords.

Background:

• The purpose of background is to provide a clear explanation of the problem under investigation. In the background, the author(s) should try to follow these moves suggested by Swale:

1. Move one, Establishing a Territory. In this move, the author sets the context for his or her research, providing necessary background on the topic. This includes the use of one or more of the following steps:
2. Claiming Centrality
3. Making Topic Generalizations
4. Reviewing Previous Items of Research
5. Move two, Establishing a Niche. In the second move, the author argues that there is an open “niche” in the existing research, a space that needs to be filled through additional research. The author can establish a niche in one of four ways:
6. Counter-claiming
7. Indicating Gap
8. Question-raising
9. Continuing a Tradition
10. Move three, Occupying a Niche. In the third move, the author turns the niche established in Move 2 into the research space that he or she will fill; that is, the author should demonstrate how he or she will substantiate the counter-claim made, fill the gap identified, answer the question(s) asked, or continue the research tradition. The author makes this move using either A or B.
11. Outlining Purposes
12. Announcing Present Research

While making these moves, the author(s) must review some Relevant literatures (pointing at different arguments and positions on the issue under study).

Methods:

• This section should include the details of materials and methods, enough for the reproduction of the findings. Give an explicit description of the procedure followed in conducting the research for possible replication.

Results and Discussion:

• The results need to be clearly presented and supported with relevant literatures. Clarity and brevity are encouraged, as such, a comprehensive discussion on results is needed so as to bring out a reasonable conclusion. Only major findings are reported.

Conclusion:

• It should include the major findings and position of the writer(s). Your conclusion must tally with the objective of the research.

Conflict of Interest:

• The authors are required to declare any conflict of interest, either financial or non-financial. These conflicts should be included at the end of the manuscript, before the references, under the heading of “Conflict of Interest”. This is for a sponsored researchs.
• The authors should disclose any past and present affiliations, funding sources, financial and personal interests related to the reported research that might raise questions about possible sources of bias.
• The mention of such interests does not make the manuscripts unethical but they should be acknowledged as the editor must know about any competing interests that the author might have. In case of no conflict, the authors are required to include this in their manuscripts as well.

Acknowledgements

• Often a paper acquires its final shape through ideas generated by a number of people. In such cases, it is important to mention all those names that have participated in execution of the paper.
• Even a minor participation requires acknowledgement so as to take care of grievances that may occur later on.

References

• References must be listed in APA style. The authors are encouraged to use a recent version of EndNote Reference Manager (version 5 and above) or Mendele Reference Manager (version 10), when formatting their reference list, as this allows references to be automatically extracted.
