Instructions to Authors

Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively through the online submission and peer review platform at https://www.editorialsystem.com/ijame
Submissions sent by e-mail to the Editorial Office or individual Editors will not be processed.
The online system guides authors step-by-step through the submission process, requiring the upload of the main manuscript file (editable MS Word .docx format), separate high-resolution figure files, and optional Supplementary Materials. All submitted manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review procedure. Submissions must be original and not previously published or currently under consideration in any other journal or book.
Manuscript style
The manuscript should be written in English. Please type double-spaced throughout, on one side of the page on A4 size good quality paper.
The first page of the manuscript must contain a clear and concise title. The author's name should be typed on the line below the title. The affiliation and address should follow on the next line. In the case of co-authors, respective addresses should be clearly indicated, as well as which author is to receive correspondence and proofs for correction.The body of the manuscript should be preceded by: a short running title (not to exceed 70 characters), a structured abstract of 150–250 words (clearly outlining the research objective, methodology, key results, and major conclusions), 4–6 relevant keywords, and nomenclature (if applicable). Headings and subheadings for different sections of the paper should be clearly indicated and numbered in arabic numerals. Place numbers of equations referred to in the text in parentheses on the right-hand side of the page.
Tables
Each table should be typed on a separate sheet as the author(s) expect it to appear in print. Each table must be numbered and contain a brief title, and each column should contain a heading and units. Tables should be referred to in the text.
Figures
All illustrations are to be referred to as figures and must be suitable for high-quality reproduction. Vector artwork (EPS, PDF) is preferred for plots and diagrams. Raster graphics (TIFF or high-quality JPG) must have a minimum resolution of 300 DPI for photographs and 600 DPI for line graphs and diagrams. Each image file should be clearly named with the figure number and the first author's surname (e.g., Fig1_AuthorName). Scanned images or low-resolution screen captures are not accepted. Figure legends should be typed on a separate sheet or placed clearly within the manuscript.
References
Only publications cited in the text should be included in the reference list. In the text, the references should appear with the name of the author(s) and the number of publication in square parentheses. Up to two authors can be mentioned in text references; more than two authors should be shortened to the first author’s name with et al. Publications such as papers [1], books [2] or others [3] should be listed as shown below, preferably in the order of citation.

Article Processing Charge (APC) and Page Limits
Full-length Original Research Papers typically range from 8 to 15 printed pages (A4 format). Manuscripts shorter than 6 printed pages are generally not accepted for review, as they do not provide sufficient depth for a comprehensive research investigation.
Papers formally accepted for publication in IJAME are subject to a mandatory publication fee (APC) of €250, which covers up to 15 printed pages.
Extended manuscripts between 16 and 20 pages are subject to an additional mandatory charge of €25 per page over 15 pages.
The maximum allowable length for any submitted manuscript is strictly 20 printed pages. Manuscripts exceeding 20 pages will not be processed or sent for peer review and will be returned to the authors for shortening. Authors are encouraged to place extensive data, extended mathematical derivations, and secondary figures into a separate Supplementary Materials file.
The total amount will be invoiced to the corresponding author (or their institution/agency) strictly upon formal acceptance following positive peer review. No submission, processing, or rejection fees are charged under any circumstances. There are no hidden or additional charges for color figures, tables, or supplementary files. Editorial decisions are based entirely on scientific merit, and editors and reviewers have no access to payment information during evaluation.
