Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.

Author Guidelines

Journal of Applied Research and Innovation (JARI) aims to meet the maximum standards required. 

  • The manuscript must be written in English or Khmer with no plagiarism. It has never been published before or is currently being submitted for publication elsewhere.
  • The manuscripts require a minimum of 3000 words for book reviews, 4000–6000 words for literature or article reviews, 3000–4000 words for short articles, and 5000–7000 words for full-length articles, including everything. 
  • Manuscripts, except for article/book reviews, must include an English abstract of no more than 300 words, followed by five keywords. 
  • Use a reference management and formatting program, such as Mendeley, EndNote, or Zotero. Authors can also do citations and references manually, but they must ensure the consistency between in-text citations and references. The reference list needs to follow APA style (7th Edition), and the citation needs to follow principles of in-text citations.
  • Authors who are not native English speakers are recommended to have their manuscripts proofread and edited before submission, since we do not accept manuscripts with an English language below the JARI journal standard. We recommend English language proofreading and editing services. 
  • Make sure to prepare your manuscript using the paper template and format provided by JARI.

Proofing and typesetting

Once JARI has received your completed publication consent form, the article will pass directly into the production process. JARI will carry out editorial checks, copyediting, and typesetting, and then return proofs to you (if you are the corresponding author) for review. This is your opportunity to correct any typographical errors, grammatical errors, and/or incorrect author details. We can’t accept requests to rewrite texts at this stage.
