Keywords: Not more than eight keywords in alphabetical order must be provided to describe the contents of the manuscript.

 

Content

Content must be in 2 columns with prepared according to IMRAD (Introduction, Methods, Results, And Discussion) along with Conclusion, References, and Supplementary data (if available). The Introduction explains the scope and objective of the study in the light of current knowledge on the subject; the Materials and Methods describes how the study was conducted; the Results section reports what was found in the study; and the Discussion section explains meaning and significance of the results and provides suggestions for future directions of research. The manuscript must be prepared according to the Journal’s instructions to authors.

 

Table, Figure, and Image

All tables should be prepared in a form consistent with recent issues of Mammesa Journal of English Studies (MJES) and should be numbered consecutively with Roman numerals. The explanatory material should be given in the table legends and footnotes. Each table should be prepared on a new page, embedded in the manuscript.

Note: When a manuscript is submitted for publication, tables must also be submitted separately as data - .doc, .rtf, Excel or PowerPoint files- because tables submitted as image data cannot be edited for publication and are usually in low-resolution.

Submit an original figure or photograph. Line drawings must be clear, with high black and white contrast. Each figure or photograph should be prepared on a new page, embedded in the manuscript for reviewing to keep the file of the manuscript under 5 MB. These should be numbered consecutively with Roman numerals.

Figures or photographs must also be submitted separately as TIFF, JPEG, or Excel files- because figures or photographs submitted in low-resolution embedded in the manuscript cannot be accepted for publication. For electronic figures, create your figures using applications that are capable of preparing high-resolution TIFF files. In general, we require 300 dpi or higher resolution for colored and half-tone artwork, and 1200 dpi or higher for line drawings are required.

 

NOTE: Failure to comply with these specifications will require new figures and delay in publication.

 

General rules on Figures and Tables

• All Figures and Tables should be numbered sequentially (e.g. Table 1, Table 2 etc.) and cite each one in your writing as Table 1 or Figure 1.
• All tables should be referenced in the text of the paper and in the reference list.
• Each table should have an individual title. Each word in the title should be italicized and capitalized except with, of, in, and, etc.

Ensure that in-text (Citation) references are quoted as per the APA in-text citation style. All references should be in 11-point font and double-spaced. We strongly suggest the writer uses reference manager, such as Mendeley.
