A strong study can still bounce at Journal of Metaverse before review if the manuscript ignores the journal’s formatting requirements. This template is built around JMV’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, APA (7th edition) references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the JMV author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to JMV’s specifications for metaverse technologies — virtual and augmented reality, digital worlds, and their applications. Journal of Metaverse is published by Izmir Akademi Dernegi. The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) order, and a reference list in APA (7th edition) style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a concise abstract of about 150–250 words. The body follows Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD), and the reference list uses APA (7th edition). Close with the declarations block: conflict of interest, funding, ethics where applicable, and data availability.
Beyond that, match your article type’s specific limits rather than assuming the defaults apply, keep APA (7th edition) formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through the journal's online submission system — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what JMV’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, APA (7th edition) reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the JMV journal home page. Journal of Metaverse is open access with no author charges. Manuscripts go in through the journal's online submission system, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | JMV requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | a concise abstract of about 150–250 words |
| Main text | Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion (IMRaD) |
| Declarations | Conflict of interest, funding, ethics where applicable, and data availability |
| Figures / tables | Captioned, cited in order; check format and resolution rules in the guide |
| Supplemental | Large datasets, extra tables, code — uploaded separately and cited in text |
| Submission | the journal's online submission system |
Read the JMV author guidelines once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set APA (7th edition) as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in.
Skim two or three recent JMV papers to calibrate depth, structure, and figure style. State your contribution in the first two paragraphs, not on page ten. Write a data-availability statement that names a real repository rather than a placeholder, and disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in your cover letter. Confirm current open-access pricing and any institutional agreement before committing to a fee.
Do one focused pass against the JMV author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, APA (7th edition) references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's online submission system.
