An article written by professors and researchers who have done a lot of research and studies in the field of one of the topics of the journal and have authored numerous works in that field. The purpose of such articles is not to present new results, but to acquaint the scientific community with the latest developments in that particular subject. Review articles clarify current knowledge of researchers in the field and pave the way for future research. The text of such articles has a maximum of 18,000 words (approximately 24 pages of the magazine including figures and tables). A review article is usually published in response to the editor's invitation to a prominent scholar. However, eligible researchers can submit the title of the proposed review articles along with their list of authors for review to the journal office.
The Journal of Multi-Particle Systems Research invites all professors, researchers and experts of Persian language inside and outside the country to help this journal in achieving its goals and helping to develop the frontiers of knowledge by sending valuable articles.
2- The main text of the article along with the full name and address of the author or authors should be typed on an A4 page with a line spacing of 1 cm and a margin of 3 cm on both sides of the page and a distance of 4 cm from the top of the page according to the article template.
3- Attach the letter of commitment signed by the Corresponding author, whose name is indicated by the symbol (star*) in the article. If the author is in charge of the student, it is necessary to send the approval of his / her supervisor. The responsible author must enter the information and organizational affiliations of his fellow authors correctly in accordance with the journal standard in the system.
4- The abstract of the article in both Persian and English languages should be entered up to 200 words in the designated place of the article submission website.
5. The article should be arranged in such a way that the introduction and purpose, experimental methods or theoretical principles, discussion and interpretation of the results as well as references are separated in order and the details of each of them are mentioned. Figures must provide accurate scientific results.
6- Tables, charts and figures should be of high quality, editable and in bold and printable in the journal, and be marked in the place indicated in the text of the article and with the numbers referred to in the text of the article. Tables (1 to ...) and figures (1 to ...) should be numbered consecutively in the text. The title of each table should explain the content of the table and include the definition of the symbols. Column and unit titles and very simple and concise table contents without numbers and subtitles appear in the text.
The width of the shapes should be 7 cm the width of a columnar manuscript. Use 2 columns for more details of this width. Authors are also required to submit all figures electronically. Preferred formats are: .ps, .eps, .pdf, .jpg, and .png. List the numbers and figures in the order of reference in the text of the numbers
Shape descriptions should be written below the figure to clearly summarize the contents of the figure. Define shape symbols and curves in the shape itself or in the subtitle: Label the following shapes (a), (b), etc., and include descriptions for each page provided in the subtitle.
Do not send photos of scanned images as the resolution may not be sufficient. If you need to use scanned images, do high-resolution scans (preferably 600 dpi or higher) and then scale the shape to its final size. If settings are made on images, such as changing its brightness, specify this setting in the caption of the figure.
7- Harvard Format Citation Guide (Updated date on: February 1, 2023)
A reference list is a complete list of all the sources used when creating a piece of work. This list includes information about the sources like the author, date of publication, title of the source and more. A Harvard reference list must:
In-text references must be included following the use of a quote or paraphrase taken from another piece of work.
In-text references are references written within the main body of text and refer to a quote or paraphrase. They are much shorter than full references. The full reference of in-text citations appears in the reference list. In Harvard referencing, in-text citations contain the author(s)’s or editor(s)’s surname, year of publication and page number(s). Using an example author James Mitchell, this takes the form:
Mitchell (2017, p. 189) states. Or (Mitchell, 2017, p. 189)
(Note: p. refers to a single page, pp. refers to a range of pages)
Two or Three Authors:
When citing a source with two or three authors, state all surnames like so:
Mitchell, Smith and Thomson (2017, p. 189) states… Or
(Mitchell, Coyne and Thomson, 2017, p. 189)
Four or More Authors:
In this case, the first author’s surname should be stated followed by ‘et al’:
Mitchell et al (2017, p. 189) states… Or (Mitchell et al, 2017, p, 189)
No Author:
If possible, use the organisation responsible for the post in place of the author. If not, use the title in italics:
(A guide to citation, 2017, pp. 189-201)
Multiple Works From the Same Author in the Same Year:
If referencing multiple works from one author released in the same year, the works are allocated a letter (a, b, c etc) after the year. This allocation is done in the reference list so is done alphabetically according to the author's surname and source title:
(Mitchell, 2017a, p. 189) or Mitchell (2017b, p. 189)
Citing Multiple Works in One Parentheses:
List the in-text citations in the normal way but with semicolons between different references:
(Mitchell, 2017, p. 189; Smith, 200; Andrews, 1989, pp. 165-176)
Citing Different Editions of the Same Work in One Parentheses:
Include the author(s)’s name only once followed by all the appropriate dates separated by semicolons:
Mitchell (2010; 2017) states… Or (Mitchell, 2010; 2017)
Citing a Reference With No Date:
In this case simply state ‘no date’ in place of the year: (Mitchell, no date, p. 189).
Citing a Secondary Source:
In this case, state the reference you used first followed by ‘cited in’ and the original author:
Smith 2000 (cited in Mitchell, 2017, p. 189) or (Smith, 2000, cited in Mitchell, 2017, p. 189)
How to Cite a Book in Harvard Format
Book referencing is the simplest format in Harvard referencing style. The basic format is as follows:
Book Referencing Example:
Mitchell, J.A. and Thomson, M. (2017) A guide to citation.3rd edn. London: London Publishings.
How to Cite an Edited Book in Harvard Format
Edited books are collations of chapters written by different authors. Their reference format is very similar to the book reference except instead of the author name, the editor name is used followed by (eds.) to distinguish them as an editor. The basic format is:
Editor surname(s), initial(s). (eds.) (Year Published). Title. Edition. Place of publication: publishers
Edited Book Example:
William, S.T. (eds.) (2015) Referencing: a guide to citation rules. New York: My Publisher
How to Cite a Chapter in an Edited Book in Harvard Format
For citing chapters, you need to add the chapter author and chapter title to the reference. The basic format is as follows:
Chapter in an Edited Book Example:
Troy B.N. (2015) ‘Harvard citation rules’ in Williams, S.T. (ed.) A guide to citation rules. New York: NY Publishers, pp. 34-89.
In-Text Citations: Chapter in an Edited Book
Use the chapter author surname, not the editor.
How to Cite an E-Book in Harvard Format
To reference an e-book, information about its collection, location online and the date it was accessed are needed as well as author name, title and year of publishing:
f the e-book is accessed via an e-book reader the reference format changes slightly:
Author surname(s), initial(s). (Year Published). Title. Edition. E-book format [e-book reader]. Available at URL or DOI (Accessed: day month year)
This includes information about the e-book format and reader, for instance this could be ‘Kindle e-book [e-book reader]’.
Mitchell, J.A., Thomson, M. and Coyne, R.P. (2017) A guide to citation. E-book library [online]. Available at: https://www.mendeley.com/reference-management/reference-manager (Accessed: 10 September 2016)
The basic format to cite a journal article is:
Mitchell, J.A. ‘How citation changed the research world’, The Mendeley, 62(9), p70-81.
Mitchell, J.A. ‘How citation changed the research world’, The Mendeley, 62(9) [online]. Available at: https://www.mendeley.com/reference-management/reference-manager (Accessed: 15 November 2016)
To cite an online journal, the page numbers section from the print journal reference is swapped with the URL or DOI the article can be accessed from and when it was accessed. So the reference for an online journal article is:
Author surname(s), initial(s). (Year) ‘Title of article’, Title of journal, volume(issue/season) [online]. Available at: URL or DOI (Accessed: day month year)
How to Cite a Website in Harvard Format
The basic format to cite a website is:
Author surname(s), initial(s). (Year of publishing) Title of page/site [Online]. Available at: URL (Accessed: day month year)
Website Example:
Mitchell, J.A. (2017) How and when to reference [Online]. Available at: https://www.howandwhentoreference.com/ (Accessed: 27 May 2017)
8- In writing the article, the use of Latin words and terms should be avoided and their acceptable and new Persian equivalents should be used as much as possible.
9- The number of pages of the article should be adjusted based on the type of article defined in the definitions section of preparing and arranging the types of articles.
10. The responsible author must mention the name and surname, e-mail address and name of the university where the three proposed referees related to the subject of the article are located in the appropriate place on the website
11- The complete file of the article in two formats pdf and word and registered in English letters along with the request file of the responsible author should be sent through the website jrmb.scu.ac.ir
12- The editorial board of the journal intends to send the result of judging the article to the author within 6 months if the article is approved in the initial review. After the final acceptance of the article and publication in the journal, each author will be sent a copy of the relevant journal free of charge.
Printable material will be accepted as article, short article, article review and review article.
