The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an important building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of work of the author and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of projected ethical behavior. Following is the Information for authors about how to publish ethically.Ethics topics to consider when publishing:
- Authorship of the paper: Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study.

TJMS does not view the following uses of a work as prior publication: publication in the form of an abstract; publication as an academic thesis; publication as an electronic preprint.
- Acknowledgement of sources: Proper acknowledgment.
- Disclosure and conflicts of interest: All submissions must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest.

TJMS has established itself as a professional and notable venue for publishing high quality research papers. It guarantees a maximum exposure of all its published articles in various indexing sites.
Yes, all the papers published by TJMS will be available for download for free. We are here to support the Open Access Publication policy.
Like most journals, TJMS try to ensure publishing high quality papers, that have a significant contribution, worth for sharing an idea, a concept, a technique or a result, are considered for publication as determined by our reviewers.
Yes, you may request an extension provided you give us a valid reason. Typically an extension for paper submission varies from 5-7 days.
First, we highly recommend authors to use the TJMS paper template to format their papers according to TJMS style. Then use the Paper Submission Form to submit.
Paper submissions are normally acknowledged within 1-3 days. Please be patient, do not resubmit or send us any email concerning this issue. Wait for at least 72 hours, and if you do not receive an acknowledgment email, then contact us.
Papers not accepted on the first review round are sent back to authors either for major revisions or subject to complete rejection. In case a paper is not accepted (major revision required), we highly recommend authors revise and implement the reviewer’s recommendations and re-submit. Each submitted paper has a maximum of 5 review rounds.
Revised papers are sent to the reviewers concerned to ensure continued evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the papers. Authors are informed about the publication decision once we receive the reviewer’s feedback and recommendations.
Information about paper registration will be provided to you through the registration form once your paper is accepted for publication. Currently, we accept registration fees through bank wire transfers, Western Union, or MoneyGram.
All published papers are normally indexed within 5 days from the date of publication and thereafter should normally be visible on the Web within 4-5 days.
As a recognition of the author’s contribution to TJMS proceedings, TJMS will issue an e-Publication Certificate. The certificates are normally sent (via email) within 14 days from the date of publication. All certificates will be sent to the corresponding authors only. Co-authors need to contact the corresponding author.
We promise that access to the research published in TJMS journal will remain free. However, as there is no charge to access the research, there is an article-processing charge for all published articles. As a scientific publisher, TJMS obviously has to be profitable to survive as a service for the scientific community. We believe that if we add value to raw data, we are entitled to charge for access to it. If a journal commissions topical or thematic reviews, and so helps individuals orientate themselves amidst the complexity of available research, it may have a subscription charge. However, once again, we promise that access to all research will remain free.
Publishing with open access is not without costs. IJCSMS defrays those costs from article-processing charges, because there is no charge to access its research content, believing instead that immediate, world-wide, barrier-free, open access to the full text of research articles is in the best interests of the scientific community.
Publication fees are used to pay for several expenses:
- Manuscript handling from submission to publication
- Electronic composition and production
- Server and website update and maintenance
- Electronic archiving
- e-Publication Certificate
- Administrative expenses and other overheads
We invite all academics and researchers to join our group on Facebook and to participate in active discussion threads. The TJMS group is an ideal place to meet researchers and try to collaborate on new projects, share thoughts, experiences, and ideas, and of course socialize.
We welcome applications to join the Editorial Board. Write to us and send us your complete CV. Please kindly allow 3-4 weeks for processing your application.
You will have to fill in the Reviewers Registration Form. Please kindly allow 10-14 days for processing your application.
