Instruction to Authors

International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR)

Welcome to the International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR). We are committed to the publication of original, high-quality research across a broad range of academic disciplines. This guide outlines our editorial policies, submission procedures, and author responsibilities. We encourage all prospective contributors to read it carefully before submitting their work.

Editorial Policy

Authors submitting to IJAR must ensure the following:

• The manuscript is original and not under consideration elsewhere.
• The manuscript has not been published previously in any form.
• The submission is exclusive to IJAR during the review process.

Only one corresponding author should be designated to communicate with the journal. All submissions undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their relevance, quality, and compliance with IJAR standards. Manuscripts not meeting the basic criteria may be declined without peer review.

Peer Review Process

Eligible manuscripts are sent for double-blind peer review by at least two qualified experts in the field. While authors may suggest potential reviewers (not affiliated with the same institution), the final choice rests with the editorial board.

Authors may be required to revise their manuscripts based on reviewer comments. In such cases, they must submit:

• A detailed, point-by-point reply to reviewers.
• A revised version of the manuscript with changes highlighted (color-coded if possible).

Revisions are to be submitted through the journal’s official submission system https://www.journalijar.com/upload-articles/ . This process may be repeated until the editorial team deems the manuscript suitable for publication.

 Appeals and Complaints

Authors may appeal editorial decisions by contacting the editorial office via email journalijar@gmail.com . Appeals should provide a clear justification. All appeals are reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief, and the decision on the appeal is final.

Authorship & Contributions

All listed authors should have contributed meaningfully to the submitted work, including involvement in the research and/or writing process. By submitting the paper to IJAR, authors confirm their consent to be listed and acknowledge their participation in the research.

The order of authorship must be mutually decided by all authors prior to submission. Any post-submission changes to authorship require written consent from all authors.

Conflicts of Interest

Authors must disclose any financial or personal relationships that could influence the submitted work. Any disputes, changes, or withdrawal requests after submission will be addressed solely through the corresponding author, whose decision will be considered final and binding in all such matters, regardless of claims from co-authors.

All manuscripts must be submitted through our online submission portal:
