Author Guidelines

Welcome to the Journal of Computers, Mechanical and Management (JCMM), where we strive to disseminate significant, novel findings across Basic Sciences, Engineering Disciplines, and Humanities and Management. We aim to foster academic discourse and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in a diverse range of fields.

Editorial Policy and Scope

JCMM is dedicated to publishing original research that significantly advances its field, offering fresh insights and novel findings. We embrace diversity in academic inquiry and accept a variety of manuscript types, including original articles, short communications, reviews, case reports, and letters to the editor. Our scope spans across a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines, reflecting our commitment to innovation and the expansion of knowledge.

Manuscript Submission and Review Process

The submission and review process at JCMM begins with a preliminary assessment, where submissions are screened for adherence to our journal’s scope and style. Manuscripts not meeting these criteria are promptly returned to authors for correction. Qualified manuscripts proceed to peer review, conducted by 2-4 independent experts over 2-3 months, ensuring thorough and unbiased evaluation. We place a high value on ethical considerations, excluding editors or reviewers with potential conflicts of interest from the review process to maintain the integrity of our evaluations.

Permissions

Authors are required to secure permission for any previously published material (figures, tables, text) included in their submissions. Proof of such permissions must be provided at the time of submission, ensuring compliance with copyright laws and the integrity of intellectual property rights.

Ethics and Responsibility

The content published in JCMM reflects the views and findings of its authors. While we strive for accuracy in all published materials, JCMM, its editorial board, and its publisher cannot be held liable for the consequences of any misleading or inaccurate data. Authors are expected to adhere to high standards of academic integrity and ethics in their submissions.

Declarations of Funding and Conflicts of Interest

JCMM places a high emphasis on transparency and integrity in the academic publishing process. As part of this commitment, we require authors to provide comprehensive disclosures regarding the financial support and any potential conflicts of interest related to their submitted work.

Funding Disclosure: Authors must transparently disclose all sources of financial support that have contributed to their research. This includes identifying the funding organization(s) and grant number(s) where applicable. The role of the funding body in the research must be described, covering aspects such as study design, data collection, analysis, interpretation of data, writing of the report, and the decision to submit the article for publication. Should the research not have received specific funding, authors are required to include the following statement within their manuscript: "This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors." This ensures that readers are fully aware of the financial context in which the research was conducted, allowing them to assess the work with an understanding of potential influences or biases.

Conflict of Interest Disclosure: In addition to funding information, authors are required to disclose any circumstances or relationships that could be perceived as potential conflicts of interest. Conflicts of interest can arise from financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, and patents) or personal relationships that could influence (or appear to influence) the work. This includes any aspect of the research where personal advantage could be seen to compromise or bias professional judgments and objectivity. If no potential conflict of interest exists, authors should include the following statement to ensure transparency: "The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper."

These disclosures are not only vital for maintaining the trust of the scientific community and the public but also serve to uphold the integrity of the research itself. By providing a clear and honest declaration, authors contribute to a transparent scholarly environment where research can be evaluated on its merits, free from undue influence. JCMM appreciates the cooperation of its authors in adhering to these guidelines, which are designed to support the ethical dissemination of knowledge and foster trust in the academic publishing process.

Author Contributions

We adopt the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) for detailing individual author contributions to the manuscript, ensuring transparent acknowledgment of authorship. This taxonomy covers roles from conceptualization and methodology to writing and funding acquisition.

Use of Generative AI

Authors are encouraged to disclose any use of generative AI in the manuscript writing process. While AI can enhance the quality of submissions, authors must maintain oversight and responsibility for the content, ensuring it meets JCMM's standards of accuracy and integrity.
