IJSEM Paper

The paper begins with a title page that is to the point in stating the contents of the paper, and it includes any new names that are proposed in the paper. Next is the summary/abstract. It is a clear and comprehensive summary of the contents of the paper. All new names are included with some specifics, but not full detailed descriptions. Then there is a brief introduction of about three hundred and fifty words that does not contain any detailed summaries of the results. The methods section follows. In this section, only important novel details are described, not standard methods, and the supplies of the chemicals and equipments should be mentioned. Next is the results and discussion, where the proposed name and formal description should appear. The final section is the references in which they are given the IJSEM format: Author (if more than three authors write et al after the first one), then year in parenthesis, followed by the title of the paper, and then abbreviated title of the journal .To write this type of paper can be very time consuming, but helps in comparing information between other papers by keeping a specific format. This paper appears professional and gives specific guide lines to help authors remain consistent.

  1. I like that IJSEM papers are clear and concise. They don't give irrevalent information which can be confusing.
