Article Types

IJPR accepts original research articles, review articles, short communications, technical notes, and relevant case studies. The manuscript should fit the journal’s scope and present a clear physical motivation and scholarly contribution.

Manuscript Structure

Research manuscripts normally include a title, author names and affiliations, corresponding-author details, abstract, four to six keywords, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusions, acknowledgements where applicable, data-availability statement where relevant, and references.

Title Page, Abstract, and Keywords

Provide the full title, names and institutional affiliations of all authors, the corresponding author’s email address, and ORCID iDs where available. The abstract should normally not exceed 250 words and should state the purpose, methods, principal findings, and conclusions.

Figures, Tables, Equations, and References

Cite and number figures, tables, and referenced equations consecutively and provide clear captions. Define symbols and mathematical notation when first used. Cite references numerically in square brackets, list them in order of citation, and include DOI identifiers when available.

Ethics, Authorship, and Competing Interests

Submissions must be original, must not be under consideration elsewhere, and must comply with applicable research-ethics requirements. Every author must approve the submission. Disclose relationships that could reasonably be perceived to influence the work; a separate no-conflict statement is optional when no relevant conflict exists.

Data and AI-Assisted Tools

Include a data-availability statement when data support the findings. AI tools cannot be authors. Authors remain responsible for accuracy, originality, citations, confidentiality, and integrity, and should disclose substantive use of generative AI. Routine spelling and grammar assistance does not require a separate declaration.

Fees, Revisions, and Author Support

IJPR charges no submission fee and no article processing charge. When revisions are requested, provide a revised manuscript and a clear response to reviewer and editor comments. Accepted manuscripts receive a proof for final checking. Technical assistance is available without adding unnecessary submission requirements.
