Paper Submissions
NMAS adheres to the following International Standards for Authors: 
  • The research being reported should have been conducted in an ethical and responsible manner and should comply with all relevant legislation.
  • Researchers should present their results clearly, honestly, and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation.
  • Researchers should strive to describe their methods clearly and unambiguously so that their findings can be confirmed by others.
  • Researchers should adhere to publication requirements that submitted work is original, is not plagiarized, and has not been published elsewhere.
  • Authors should take collective responsibility for submitted and published work.
  • The authorship of research publications should accurately reflect individuals’ contributions to the work and its reporting.
  • The author should report funding sources and relevant conflicts of interest.
NMJS Author Submission Guidelines 
To the right is a guide to be used to prepare manuscripts for publication in the New Mexico Journal of Science (NMJS). Manuscripts should be 4,500 words or less and must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. The guide is broken into the following sections: 
  1. Manuscript Components 
  2. Component Descriptions 
  3. Specific Formatting Requirements: word styles; units and numbers; equations and chemical reactions; references

All submitted manuscripts will go through a peer review process, which is the standard process for any scientific journal publication. See, for example, here, especially the video under What Authors Need To Know.
