Supply chain & logistics, retailing & consumer services. It is essential that authors prepare their manuscripts according to established specifications.
Failure to follow them may result in papers being delayed or rejected. Therefore, contributors are strongly encouraged to read these instructions carefully
before preparing a manuscript for submission. The manuscripts should be checked carefully for grammatical errors.The IJMRR will be published monthly
(one volume per year) and all articles are peer-reviewed.
Electronic submission of manuscripts is strongly encouraged, provided that the text, tables, and figures are included in a single Microsoft Word file
(preferably in Time new Roman).
Submit manuscripts as e-mail attachment to the Editorial Office at: submission@ijmrr.com , info@ijmrr.com
The cover letter should include the corresponding author's full address and telephone/fax numbers and should be in an e-mail message sent to the Editor,
with the file, whose name should begin with the first author's surname, as an attachment. The authors may also suggest two to four reviewers for the
manuscript (IJMRR may designate other reviewers).
The International Journal of Management Research & Reviews will only accept manuscripts submitted as e-mail attachments.
Types of manuscripts:
Three types of manuscripts may be submitted:
Research articles: These should describe new and carefully confirmed findings, and research methods should be given in sufficient detail for others
to verify the work. The length of a full paper should be the minimum required to describe and interpret the work clearly.
Short Communications: A Short Communication is suitable for recording the results of complete small investigations or giving details of new models,
innovative methods or techniques. The style of main sections need not conform to that of full-length papers. Short communications are 2 to 4 printed pages
(about 6 to 12 manuscript pages) in length.
Reviews: Submissions of reviews and perspectives covering topics of current interest are welcome and encouraged.
Reviews should be concise and no longer than 4-6 printed pages (about 12 to 18 manuscript pages). Reviews manuscripts are also peer-reviewed
Review Process
All manuscripts are reviewed by an editor and members of the Editorial Board or qualified outside reviewers.
Decisions will be made as rapidly as possible. The editorial board will re-review manuscripts that are accepted pending revision.
It is the goal of the IJMRR to publish manuscripts within 8 weeks after submission.
Manuscripts preparations
Type-written manuscripts prepared using MS Word should be sent as a MS word document to submission@ijmrr.com . Prepare the manuscript in Times new roman font using
a font size of 12. Title shall be in a font size 14, bold face capitals. All section titles in the manuscript shall be in font size 12, bold face capitals.
Subtitles in each section shall be in font size 12, bold face lower case. Standard International Units could be used throughout the text.
Pages should not be numbered, manuscript should be starting with the title page and the text should be arranged in the following order:
Title page, Abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion or Results and Discussion (Figure and Table titles and legends), Acknowledgement, References.
TitlePage
The title must be as brief as possible, comprehensive and descriptive. Each author must provide their full name including their forenames and surname
followed by their address in normal face lower case. The Corresponding Author of the manuscript must be marked with an asterisk, and should be listed first.
In addition the corresponding author must include telephone, fax and E-mail address at the bottom left corner of the title page.
If any of the co-authors are from different organizations, their addresses too should be mentioned and indicated using numbers after their names.
Abstract:
Should start on a new page after the title page and should present the reason of the study, the main findings, and principal conclusions,
not more than 250 words. All the three categories, Review Articles, Research papers and Short Communications should have an Abstract.
Keywords: 3-6 keywords are to be provided by the authors.
>
Introduction:
Should start on a new page and should clearly indicate the aim of the study.The Introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem,
the relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or solution. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of disciplines.
Materials and methods should be complete enough to allow possible replication of the research. However, only truly new research methods should be described
in detail; previously published methods should be cited, and important modifications of published methods should be mentioned briefly.
Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer's name and address. Subheadings should be used. Methods in general use need not be described in detail.
Results should be presented with clarity and precision. The results should be written in the past tense when describing author's findings. Previously published findings should be
written in the present tense. Results should be explained, but largely without referring to the literature. Discussion, speculation and detailed interpretation
of data should not be included in the Results but should be put into the Discussion section.
The Discussion should interpret the findings in view of the results obtained in this and in past studies on the topic.
State the conclusions in a few sentences at the end of the paper. The Results and Discussion sections can include subheadings, and when appropriate,
both sections can be combined.
The Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc should be brief.
Tables should be kept to a minimum and be designed to be as simple as possible. Tables are to be typed double-spaced throughout, including headings and
footnotes. Each table should be on a separate page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied with a heading and a legend. Tables should be
self-explanatory without reference to the text. The details of the research methods should preferably be described in the legend instead of in the text.
The same data should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text.
Figure legends should be typed in numerical order on a separate sheet. Graphics should be prepared using applications capable of generating high resolution GIF,
TIFF, JPEG or PowerPoint before pasting in the Microsoft Word manuscript file. Tables should be prepared in Microsoft Word. Use Arabic numerals to designate
figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Begin each legend with a title and include sufficient description so that the figure is
understandable without reading the text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text.
References: In the text, a reference identified by means of an author’s name should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses.
When there are more than two authors, only the first author’s name should be mentioned, followed by ‘et al’. In the event that an author cited has had two
or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like ‘a’
and ‘b’ after the date to distinguish the works.
Examples:
Smith (2000), Wang et al. (2003), (Kelebeni, 1983), (Singh and Chandra, 1992), (Chege, 1998; Bill, 1987a,b; Cohen, 1993, 1995), (Bauer et al., 2001)
References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order. Articles in preparation or articles submitted for publication,
unpublished observations, personal communications, etc. should not be included in the reference list but should only be mentioned in the article text
(e.g., A. Kingori, University of Nairobi, Kenya, personal communication). Journal names are abbreviated according to Chemical Abstracts. Authors are fully
responsible for the accuracy of the references.

Short Communications
Short Communications are limited to a maximum of two figures and one table. They should present a complete study that is more limited in scope
than is found in full-length papers. The items of manuscript preparation listed above apply to Short Communications with the following differences:
(1) Abstracts are limited to 100 words; (2) instead of a separate Materials and Methods section, research methods may be incorporated into Figure Legends
and Table footnotes; (3) Results and Discussion should be combined into a single section.
Proofs and Reprints: Electronic proofs will be sent (e-mail attachment) to the corresponding author as a PDF file.
Page proofs are considered to be the final version of the manuscript. With the exception of typographical or minor clerical errors, no changes will
be made in the manuscript at the proof stage. Because AJBM will be published online without access restrictions, authors will have electronic access to
the full text (PDF) of the article. Authors can download the PDF file from which they can print unlimited copies of their articles.
