Author Guidelines


Submissions:
We strongly encourage that manuscripts be submitted to MAJ Authors are required to create an account and submit the manuscripts online. For submission inquiries, please address to [email protected]. Contributors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce any materials, including photographs and illustrations, for which they do not hold the copyright and for ensuring that the appropriate acknowledgments are included in the manuscript.


All contributions in the periodical are peer-reviewed:
Authors will be asked, upon acceptance of a manuscript, to transfer copyright of the manuscript to the Publisher. This will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under copyright laws. It is the responsibility of the author to obtain written permission for a quotation from unpublished material, or for all quotations in excess of 250 words in one extract or 500 words in total from any work still in copyright, and for the reprinting of figures, tables or poems from unpublished or copyrighted material.
