Online Submission

 

Thank you for choosing NYIMAK: Journal of Communication as the venue for your scholarly work. To guarantee a seamless, transparent, and efficient digital submission process via our Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, please closely follow the structural protocols detailed below.

Mandatory Pre-Submission Checklist

Before initiating the online submission portal, authors must ensure that the following requirements are fully met. Submissions lacking these components will be subject to immediate desk return:

  • Fully Anonymized Manuscript: The main file must be completely devoid of author names, institutional affiliations, contact emails, and explicit ORCID iDs to preserve the integrity of our Double-Blind Peer Review.
  • Template Alignment: The manuscript layout must strictly follow the official NYIMAK layout parameters (Calibri, 12 pt, 1.5 line spacing, maximum 15 pages).
  • Reference Software Compliance: All citations must be dynamically managed using Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote, formatted in strict APA Style, and include active DOI links.

Step-by-Step Submission Workflow

Authors can execute their submission smoothly by following these five sequential steps within our OJS ecosystem:

  1. Step 1 (Account Access): If you are a prospective author, click [Register] to establish your credentials. Ensure you check the "Author" box to enable submission privileges. If you are a registered user, simply click [Login].
  2. Step 2 (Initiate Submission): Once inside your Publisher Dashboard, navigate to the Submissions tab and click [New Submission]. Select the "Articles" section and formally acknowledge compliance by checking all the journal's foundational requirements.
  3. Step 3 (Upload Files): Upload your anonymized Microsoft Word file (`.doc` or `.docx`). Categorize the file component precisely as "Article Text". Supplementary files (such as a Cover Letter or Proofreading Certificate) should be uploaded subsequently and designated as "Other".
  4. Step 4 (Populate Metadata): Input the full structural title, abstract text, and precise index keywords. Crucial Requirement: Authors must click "Add Contributor" to insert the names, institutional affiliations, countries, and email addresses of all co-authors. Metadata accuracy determines indexing reliability.
  5. Step 5 (Final Confirmation): Thoroughly audit your uploaded files and metadata records, then click [Finish Submission]. An automated confirmation notification will be immediately dispatched to the corresponding author's email.
