Author Guidelines

Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts to the Multi-Disciplinary Aviation Journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they align with the aims and scope of the journal. Submissions considered a good fit will be sent for peer review before a final decision is made regarding acceptance or rejection.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any materials included with the manuscript, such as photos, documents, and datasets. All authors listed on the submission must consent to be identified as authors. Where appropriate, research should be approved by a relevant ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study’s country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are properly structured and clearly articulated. The title should be concise, and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This increases the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review your paper.

When you're confident your submission meets these standards, please follow the guidelines and checklist below to prepare your manuscript.
