Frequently Asked Questions
What file formats do you accept?
We accept manuscripts in Microsoft Word (.docx) or LaTeX format. Figures should be submitted as separate high-resolution files (TIFF, EPS, or PNG at 300 DPI minimum). For LaTeX submissions, include all source files, bibliography files (.bib), and compiled PDF.
Do you require code submission?
We strongly encourage code availability to support reproducibility. Code can be deposited in public repositories (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) or institutional repositories (Zenodo, Figshare). Proprietary code should be made available to reviewers under confidentiality agreements.
What about data availability?
Authors should provide access to data used for model validation and analysis. Synthetic datasets, simulation parameters, or links to public databases are acceptable. For proprietary or sensitive data, provide detailed descriptions enabling independent replication.
Are there page or word limits?
Word limits vary by article type (see Article Types section). These are guidelines, not strict limits. Comprehensive methodological details and thorough validation studies may justify longer manuscripts. Contact the editorial office for pre-submission inquiries about length.
How are reviewers selected?
Reviewers are selected based on expertise in the specific modeling domain, quantitative methodology, and publication record. We prioritize reviewers with demonstrated competence in mathematical analysis, computational methods, and statistical evaluation relevant to your submission.
Can I suggest reviewers?
Yes, you may suggest potential reviewers during submission. Provide names, affiliations, email addresses, and brief justification of their expertise. You may also request exclusion of specific reviewers with appropriate justification. Final reviewer selection remains at editorial discretion.
What is your policy on preprints?
We encourage preprint posting on arXiv, bioRxiv, or other recognized preprint servers. Preprint posting does not affect consideration for publication. Include preprint DOI in your submission for transparency.
Do you charge Article Processing Charges (APCs)?
Yes, JMBR operates on an open access model with APCs to cover publication costs. APC waivers are available for authors from low-income countries and for unfunded research. Financial constraints should never prevent publication of quality research.
How do I track my submission?
ManuscriptZone portal provides real-time status tracking. You receive email notifications at each stage: submission confirmation, editor assignment, reviewer invitation, reviews received, editorial decision, and publication. Log in anytime to check current status.
What happens if my manuscript is rejected?
Rejection decisions include detailed feedback from reviewers and editors. This feedback often helps improve the manuscript for submission elsewhere. We provide constructive guidance on strengthening the work, even when it's not suitable for JMBR.
