Call for Papers

A vast area of research inclines the journal to publish bilingually (English and Urdu) every month since the decision taken by the RMR Administration on March 06, 2023. However, some important dates for each edition are as follows;

• Paper submission starts from the 2^nd to the 15^th of each month.
• The review process continues between the 16^th to 20^th of each month.
• Revision Considers between the 21^st to 24^th of each month.
• Acceptance Decision till the 25^th of each month.
• Final Version till the 28^th of each month.
• Publish Online on the 1^st of every following month.

Note: Late receiving of revised papers will be reconsidered for coming editions. Author(s) will be intimated regarding the paper status via email.

Remember: You can also submit book reviews, content analysis, conversation analysis, conference or seminar proceedings and/or travelogue. However, the nature of your work must be academic where citations must be in APA style, incorporated via the automatic insert citation mechanism of MS Word. Likewise, similar to the academic research paper, your submission must also contain an Abstract, Keywords, Introduction of your work, history of your work (if any), gaps in previously published literature (if any), your findings, your recommendations, and/or conclusion.

The Reason why the Frequency of the Journal has been Revised:

Initially, IMSTS was published bimonthly. However, the unavailability of the option for “bimonthly” publication in HEC’s RGMS urged the Administration of Rehmat and Maryam Researches to consult with the Research & Innovation Division of Higher Education Commission via hjrs@hec.gov.pk. And, in accordance with the advice of the concerned officer, the frequency of journal has been converted from bimonthly to monthly.

(Copies of the RMR Administration’s Decision and HEC’s email-based advice are displayed below)

 

Hence, IMSTS will be published on monthly bases from April 01, 2023.
