• Once accepted, works are abstracted and indexed through recognised online services, enhancing discoverability.

Before You Submit

• Ensure your manuscript is original and has not been published or under review elsewhere.
• All authors must confirm they own the copyright of the submitted work, or have obtained proper permissions for any reused content.
• If your research involves human participants, animals or sensitive ethical issues, ensure that appropriate ethical clearance/consent has been obtained and is documented in your manuscript.
• Conflict of interest declarations must be included: authors should disclose any commercial or financial relationships that might influence their work.

Manuscript Preparation -- Structure & Formatting

1. Title Page

• Provide a concise yet descriptive title that accurately summarizes your work.
• List all authors' full names, affiliations (institution, city, country), and contact details (email).
• Clearly identify the corresponding author with full contact details.
• Include a running head (short title) of no more than50 characters if required.

2. Abstract & Keywords

• The abstract should be approximately 300 words, clearly stating the objective, methods, key findings, and conclusion. Avoid abbreviations and references in the abstract.
• Provide 4 to 10 keywords relevant for indexing and search-engine retrieval.

3. Main Text

• Use a standard, readable font (e.g., Times New Roman), size 12 pt.
• Double-spacing is preferred; set margins of at least 1 inch (or equivalent) on all sides.
• Do not use more than three levels of headings (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2 and Heading 3).
• At first occurrence, provide the full form of any abbreviation, followed by the abbreviated form in parentheses.
• Use the word-processing application's table function rather than embedding spreadsheets; table numbering should use Arabic numerals (Table 1, Table 2, ...).
• Figures/images should carry appropriate captions and legends.
• All additional or supplementary files (if applicable) may be supplied in common formats such as PDF, MOV, XLS, or SWF.

4. Acknowledgements

• In a separate Acknowledgement section, recognise individuals/institutions who contributed to the manuscript preparation (e.g., editorial help, technical assistance), but who did not qualify for authorship.

5. References

• Ensure all cited material is properly referenced; do not reproduce text/data from other works without permission.
• Use a consistent reference style throughout.
• If you reuse images, tables or other copyrighted material, secure permission and acknowledge accordingly.

Article Types & Word-Limits (suggested)

• To help you choose the appropriate manuscript type, we recommend the following general word-limits:
• Original Research Article: up to 6000 words (including abstract, figures/tables, and references)
• Review Article: up to 9000 words
• Short Communication/Case Report: up to 2000 words
• Letter to the Editor/Commentary: up to 1000 words

(These are guidelines; specific journals under Globalmeetx may set their own limits.)

Submission Process

• Manuscripts must be submitted via our online submission platform (details provided on the journal's website).
• On submission, you'll be asked to upload:
  • Title page (separate file with author details)
  • Main manuscript (without author details if blind review is required)
  • Figures, tables and supplementary files if any
• A cover-letter should accompany your submission, stating that the work is original, not under review elsewhere, and that all authors agree to its submission.

Review & Publication Workflow

• After initial editorial screening (scope, novelty, formatting), your manuscript will be sent for single-blind peer review.
• Based on reviewers' feedback, you may be invited to revise and resubmit. Authors should provide a detailed response to reviewers' comments.
• Once accepted, the manuscript will undergo copy-editing, proofing, and final layout.
• On publication, the article will be released under an open access licence, and will be indexed and archived online for maximum visibility.

Licensing & Copyright

• Authors retain copyright of their work and grant Globalmeetx Publishing the right to publish it under a suitable Creative Commons licence (for example, CC BY).
• If you include third-party material in your article, obtain and submit permissions from the original rights holder.

Ethical Standards

• Research involving human or animal subjects must include a statement confirming that the study was approved by the appropriate ethics committee.
• Authors must ensure honesty in reporting data (no fabrication, falsification or plagiarism).
• Any potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed.

Note: Finalizing all funding information is an essential prerequisite prior to invoice generation and the payment of the Article Processing Charge (APC). Once the APC payment has been completed, the manuscript officially advances into its final production stage; at this critical point, funding details are permanently locked and cannot be modified as a matter of standard editorial policy.

After Publication

• Correcting errors: If you discover an error after publication, contact the editorial office promptly.
• Archiving: The article will be deposited in a long-term repository and indexed with standard services to ensure discoverability and stability.

Note: These guidelines apply generally for all journals published under Globalmeetx Publishing. You should always check the specific journal's webpage (under Globalmeetx) for any additional or modified requirements.
