As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
The JMRI accepts Seven article types. To be considered for publication, each article type must include the following sections. Only original articles may include abstract subheadings.
Articles should be submitted by the author. The listed article submitter will be considered the submitting and corresponding author, and will assume all responsibility throughout the article’s peer review and publication. JMRI does not distinguish between submitting and corresponding authors in order to keep this process simple and efficient.
Submitting on behalf of an author: If an administrator wishes to submit an article on behalf of an author, the administrator must do so while signed in with the author’s JMRI account. Additionally, all JMRI email notifications sent during the submission process will be sent to the submitting author (not the administrator). For these reasons, we strongly recommend that authors submit their own work.
Naming Order for Contributors
The order of naming the contributors should be based on the relative contribution of the contributor towards the study and the writing of the manuscript. Once submitted, the order cannot be changed without the written consent of all the contributors.
Authorship
No addition of author(s) will be entertained post submission. Exception to this will be made only with proper justification supported by institution/university head.
Number of Contributors
In the event of a study carried out in a single institute, the number of contributors should not exceed eight. For case-reports, images, letters to the editor, and review articles, the number of contributors should not exceed five. There should be a written justification if the number of contributors exceeds five. If the JMRI feels necessary it may ask for description of the contribution of authors towards the manuscript.

Articles in Journals
Books and Other Monographs
Journal abbreviations source
Journal names should be abbreviated according to CAS Source Index (CASSI) Search Tool abbreviations: http://cassi.cas.org/search.jsp
References should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text (not in alphabetic order). Identify references in text, tables, and legends by Arabic numerals in parenthesis/bracket like- [1]. References cited only in tables or figure legends should be numbered in accordance with the sequence established by the first identification in the text of the particular table or figure. Use the style of the examples below. Use complete name of the journal for non-indexed journals. Avoid using abstracts as references. Information from manuscripts submitted but not accepted should be cited in the text as “unpublished observations” with written permission from the source. Avoid citing a “personal communication” unless it provides essential information not available from a public source, in which case the name of the person and date of communication should be cited in parentheses in the text. For scientific articles, contributors should obtain written permission and confirmation of accuracy from the source of a personal communication.
The commonly cited types of references are shown here, for other types of references such as electronic media, newspaper items, etc. please refer to ICMJE Guidelines (http://www.icmje.org).
Short Communication
The journal publishes exciting findings, preliminary data or studies that did not yield enough information to make a full paper as short communications. These have the same format requirements as full papers but are only up to 5 pages in length. Short Communications should not have subtitles such as Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion - all these have to be merged into the running text. Short Communications preferably should have only 3-4 illustrations.
Case Study
It should be divided in Title page, Abstract (non structured), Keywords, Introduction, Case Report, Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement, References.
Review Articles
Should be about 18 pages long, contain up-to-date information, comprehensively cover relevant literature and preferably be written by scientists who have in-depth knowledge on the topic. All format requirements are same as those applicable to full papers. Review articles need not be divided into sections such as Materials and Methods and Results and Discussion, but should definitely have an Abstract and Introduction, if necessary.
Conflict of Interest statement
It must be declared by authors.
Author contributions
Contribution of each author should be given in the manuscript immediate after acknowledgment/conclusion.
Copyrights: Author holds the copyright post publication in case of open access. The publisher holds the rights in case of subscription based articles.

Editorial Policies
JMRI expect the highest ethical standards from their authors, reviewers and editors while conducting research, submitting papers and throughout the peer-review process. JMRI follows double-blind peer review process.
Redundant or duplicate publication
A publication that overlaps or relates substantially with any article that is already published, in press, or under consideration/submission it is considered as Duplicate or redundant publication. (International Committee of the Medical Editors http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishing-and-editorial-issues/overlapping-publications.html).
Duplicate or redundant submission is identical manuscript (or having the similar data) that is submitted to various journals at the same time. International copyright laws, ethical conducts, and cost effective use of resourceensure originality of the manuscript submitted. (International Council of the Medical Editors. http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishing-and-editorial-issues/overlapping-publications.html)
Material submitted must be original and should not have published or submitted elsewhere while under consideration for publication. According to the APA code of ethics (APA Publication Manual, 2010) duplicate publication is violation and will lead to prompt rejection of the submitted manuscript.
In case of any doubts, author should seek advice from the editorial board member in handling their manuscript. If author is re-using a figure published elsewhere or that has been copyrighted then the author must get prior approval from the previous publisher or the copyright holder for the figure to be re-published. In case, author is unaware of the copyright issues and the material has been published, the author must submit a duplicate material for submission by acknowledging the source of the information, so that the ethical violation can be corrected.
Conflicts of interest
In order to maintain transparency and help readers to form their own judgements of potential bias, authors should declare any competing financial interests related to the work that has been described or presented.
During the submission, every author should reveal the financial interests or collaborations if any, that may raise conflict or bias directly or indirectly in the submitted work including conclusions, opinions given or implications, or any other sources of funding for related direct or indirect academic competition.
However, in case of manuscript acceptance, the information related to Conflict of Interest should be mentioned in a published statement.
Permissions to reproduce previously published material
Permission is essential to reproduce material from the copyright holder. Articles cannot be directly published without these permissions.
For authors who submit the article and vanishes
Authors, when disappear after submitting the article, the journal holds the right to either publish or not. Sometimes the journal will publish the article and will only retract if the authors sends an appology letter to the journal for wasting its time. Instead of vanishing, please send us a mail, that you do not wish to publish in the journal, it will save our time and resources. We will try to mail the authors multiple times before acknowledging the fact that the author has vanished. If we receive an apology post-publication, we would retract the paper. This even applies to the back dated papers and even those who has been sent a rejection mail due to no reply from authors.
Withdrawal of articles
The journal is vowed to ensure the originality and authenticity of all articles published in it. In cases where the editorial team observes any technical or ethical discrepancy in an article viz. multiple submissions of the data, plagiarism, deceitful manipulation of data, spurious authorship claims, it may be withdrawn. The option of withdrawal mainly pertains to the articles that are currently in Press. Such articles are yet to be published formally and thus lack volume/issue/page information. Immediately after the article is withdrawn, the entire content of the article is removed from the journal website and a withdrawal notice is placed instead.
Retraction of published articles
Articles published in the journal may be retracted by the author(s), University or institute the authors are affiliated to, funding agency of the publishedwork, editor-in-chief or publisher; if any ethical infringement or data manipulation is observed or notified by third party. Other situations that may lead to retraction of published articles include duplicate submissions, presentation of falsified data, unscrupulous authorship claims and detection of plagiarism.
Before retracting any of the published articles, the journal confers with the respective author(s) regarding the same. A retraction note duly signed by the author(s) and/or editor(s) is published in the paginated part of the subsequent issue of the journal.
Patient consent forms
It is very essential to protect the patient’s right to privacy. Kindly collect and preserve copies of patient’s consent forms that mention patient’s or’ your experiment details clearly, including the grant permission for the publication of photographs or any other material that may recognise them. Yet, if the consent form did not comprise these details it is essential to obtain it or remove the identified material from the document. However, the obtained statement must be included in the ‘Methods’ section of your manuscript. If required, the Editors may request a copy of any consent form.
Ethics committee approval
All the manuscripts dealing with the original human or animal data should include a statement on ethics approval at the commencement of the Methods section. It should information on the name and the address of the responsible ethics committee, the protocol number, along with the date of approval that is attributed by the ethics committee.
For the studies carried on human participants, it is necessary to state evidently that you obtained the written and informed consent from the participants involved. Kindly, refer the latest version of the Declaration of Helsinki for this purpose. Similarly, experiments that involve animals must provide the state of animal care and licensing guidelines under which the study was performed and is reported.This should be provided inaccordance with the ARRIVE statement(Animals in Research: Reporting In Vivo Experiments). In any case, if ethics clearance was not obligatory or if there was any deviation or change from the standard of ethical requests, it is required to state the specified reason. Please note that the editors might ask you to provide evidence of ethical approval. Besides, If you have approval from a National Drug Agency (or similar), please state it by providing details.
