• Articles exceeding 7,000 words may be considered based on academic merit.
• Articles under 4,000 words will not be considered.

Title, Abstract, Keywords, Author Information:

• Abstract (100–150 words): Structured in five components:
  • Objective

File Submission Requirements

Submit the following two files:

1. Title Page (separate file):
   • Article title
   • All authors' names, affiliations, email addresses
   • Biographical notes (optional)
2. Blind Manuscript:

Referencing Style

• SEIJOM follows APA (6th Edition) or APA (7th Edition) referencing style. But it should not be mixed of both referencing sytles.
• Ensure consistency between in-text citations and references.
• Use citation software like EndNote or Mendeley to manage references.

Review and Editorial Process

• Acknowledgment: A confirmation email is sent upon submission.
• Review Timeframe: Editorial decisions are typically communicated within 8 weeks.
• Peer Review: Double-blind peer review by at least two independent reviewers.
• Revisions: If requested, authors receive detailed comments. Revision window: 2–3 weeks.

Authorship Changes

Changes to Authorship After Submission
SEIJOM follows ethical authorship practices in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines.

Requests to add or remove an author after submission must be accompanied by a letter signed by all co-authors, clearly stating the reason for the change and confirming agreement. The letter should be uploaded as a supplementary file during submission or revision.

All authorship changes are assessed carefully, and SEIJOM reserves the right to deny such requests if ethical standards are not met.
