6. Language and Writing Quality

Authors must prepare manuscripts in clear, accurate, and professional language consistent with the journal's accepted submission languages and current editorial requirements.

Technical terminology, abbreviations, symbols, units, and engineering expressions should be used consistently throughout the manuscript. Abbreviations should be defined at first use, and all figures, tables, and equations should be explained in the main text.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts are sufficiently clear and readable for the journal's intended audience of engineers, researchers, academics, and professional practitioners.

7. Tables, Figures, Equations, and Units

Tables and figures must be numbered consecutively and cited in the manuscript text. Each table and figure must have a clear title or caption and provide sufficient information for readers to understand its contents.

Figures should be legible and of adequate resolution. Authors must ensure that images, diagrams, photographs, and other visual materials are original or used with the necessary permissions and acknowledgments.

Equations should be clearly presented, numbered where appropriate, and accompanied by explanations of relevant symbols and variables.

Engineering quantities and units should be reported consistently, preferably using the International System of Units (SI), unless another convention is justified by the subject matter or applicable technical standards.

8. References and Citations

Authors must cite all sources that materially support their arguments, methods, data, and conclusions. References should be relevant, accurate, and sufficiently complete to allow readers to identify the original sources.

All in-text citations must correspond to entries in the reference list, and all listed references must be cited in the manuscript, unless otherwise specified by the journal's template.

Authors must follow the citation and reference style prescribed in the official JPII manuscript template. They should verify the accuracy of author names, publication titles, publication years, page numbers, and DOI information where available.

Authors must not include fabricated references, irrelevant citations, or references intended primarily to manipulate citation metrics.

9. Originality, Plagiarism, and Duplicate Submission

Manuscripts submitted to JPII must be original and must not be under consideration for publication by another journal at the same time.

Authors must properly acknowledge and cite all material derived from the work of others, including text, data, images, tables, methods, and previously published findings.

Plagiarism, inappropriate reuse of previously published material, data fabrication, data falsification, and duplicate or redundant publication are unacceptable.

JPII may use plagiarism detection software or other appropriate screening methods to assess manuscript originality. If the journal applies a similarity threshold, manuscripts must comply with the applicable policy. A similarity score alone does not establish plagiarism; the editorial team must assess the nature, source, and context of the overlap.

If a manuscript substantially develops an earlier conference paper, report, or publication, authors must disclose the relationship and explain the additional contribution of the submitted manuscript. Acceptance of such work is subject to the journal's editorial policies and applicable copyright requirements.

10. Authorship and Author Contributions

Only individuals who have made substantial intellectual or professional contributions to the work should be listed as authors.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that:

  • All eligible authors are included in the author list.

  • All listed authors have approved the submitted manuscript and agreed to its submission to JPII.

  • Author names, affiliations, and contact information are accurate.

  • Contributions and acknowledgments are appropriately identified.

  • Any proposed changes to authorship are disclosed to and approved by the editor, with the agreement of all affected authors.

All manuscripts are subject to initial editorial screening and, when considered suitable, peer review in accordance with JPII's Review Policy and Review Guidelines.

Each manuscript is reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers appointed by the editor, in accordance with the journal's stated review procedures. The editor may request revisions, additional assessments, or clarification before making a final decision.

Authors must respond to reviewer comments professionally and address the requested revisions clearly. If authors disagree with a reviewer's recommendation, they should provide a reasoned explanation supported by relevant evidence.

Submission of a manuscript does not guarantee acceptance or publication. Final decisions are made by the editor based on the manuscript's quality, originality, relevance, ethical compliance, and the available review reports.

16. Copyright, Licensing, and Open Access

JPII provides open access to its published articles so that readers can access scholarly content without subscription barriers.

Authors must review the journal's current copyright, licensing, and open access terms before submission. They must ensure that they have the rights and permissions necessary to publish any third-party material included in their manuscripts.

The specific copyright ownership arrangements, reuse permissions, and applicable Creative Commons license, if any, are governed by the journal's official copyright and licensing statements. Authors should consult those statements rather than assume that all reuse is automatically permitted.

17. Post-Publication Corrections and Retractions

Authors are responsible for the accuracy and integrity of their published work. If they discover a significant error or inaccuracy after publication, they must promptly notify the Editor-in-Chief or editorial office and cooperate in evaluating and correcting the problem.
