The
P-Edu International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies (P-EIJMS) is a
biannually published, peer-reviewed, open-access online journal that publishes
innovative and original research articles, review papers, short communications,
case studies, and scholarly notes across a wide range of multidisciplinary and
interdisciplinary fields. The journal covers disciplines including education,
social sciences, management, commerce, economics, agriculture and allied
agricultural sciences, nursing and allied health sciences, medical and health
sciences, pharmaceutical and life sciences, engineering and technology,
environmental sciences, law and legal studies, humanities, arts, and other
emerging interdisciplinary areas.
All
submitted manuscripts are subject to peer review. Manuscripts of high
scientific quality, which have not been previously published and are not under
consideration elsewhere, are considered for publication without undue delay.
Manuscript Format
The
preferred format for manuscript submission is MS Word. All illustrations
(tables, figures, and images) must be inserted within the manuscript at
appropriate positions where they should appear in the published article.
Preparation of Manuscript
The
language of the manuscript must be English. Each manuscript should be typed
single-spaced on A4 (8.5″ × 11″) paper size with 1-inch margins on all sides.
Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order:
Title
Page, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods / Methodology,
Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement (if any), and References.
Title Page
The
title page should contain the title of the paper in bold face, title case (font
size 14), followed by the names of the authors in normal face, upper case (font
size 12) and their affiliations in lower case. The corresponding author should
be identified with an asterisk (*).
The
title should be concise and clearly indicate the nature of the research. Author
names should appear as initials followed by surnames. At the bottom left corner
of the title page, mention “*Address for Correspondence” and provide a valid
and functional e-mail address. If the correspondence address differs from the
author affiliation, it should be clearly stated.
Abstract
The
abstract should begin on a new page after the title page and be typed in single
spacing. It should briefly summarize the objectives, methodology, key findings,
and conclusions of the study. Abstracts should be 150–250 words, as they are
primarily used for indexing and database searches.
Keywords
Provide
four to six relevant keywords immediately after the abstract.
Introduction
The
introduction should present a concise background of the research problem,
include a brief review of relevant literature, and clearly state the objectives
of the study.
Materials and Methods / Methodology
This
section should describe the materials used, study area or site (if applicable),
year of experimentation, and methods adopted for data collection and analysis
in a clear and reproducible manner.
Results and Discussion
This
section should focus on the fulfillment of the stated objectives. Results
should be clearly presented using tables, figures, and photographs where
appropriate, followed by logical interpretation and discussion.
References
References
should be numbered consecutively in the order of their first appearance in the
text (not alphabetically). References cited in the text, tables, and figure
legends should be indicated using Arabic numerals in superscript.

Illustrations
All
tables and figures should be placed within the text at appropriate positions.
Only MS Word table format should be used for tables. Tables should include
horizontal lines separating rows but no vertical lines between columns. Tables
must be numbered consecutively using Arabic numerals and carry a brief title in
capital letters. Tables should not exceed one A4-sized page.

Standard
scientific abbreviations, symbols, and units should be used consistently.

not contain separate subheadings such as Introduction, Materials and Methods,
Results, and Discussion. A maximum of 3–4 illustrations is recommended.
Review Articles
Review
articles should be 15–30 pages in length and provide a comprehensive and
up-to-date overview of the literature. They should preferably be written by
authors with demonstrated expertise in the subject area. Formatting requirements
are the same as those for full research articles.
