Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to the Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials (EJPFM) through the journal's online submission system.

EJPFM accepts two types of manuscripts: Original Research Articles and Review Articles. All manuscripts must be written in English and fall within the journal's Aims & Scope.

Before submission, authors must carefully read the journal's Information for Authors and Editorial Policies, which provide detailed requirements for manuscript preparation, formatting, research ethics, authorship, and the editorial process.

The journal follows a double-blind peer-review process. Authors must upload an anonymized manuscript and a separate title page containing the authors' names, affiliations, and contact information.

All submissions undergo an initial editorial assessment and similarity screening using iThenticate. Manuscripts that meet the journal's requirements may be sent for independent peer review.

Authors must provide all required declarations, obtain the necessary permissions for third-party materials, and download, complete, and submit the signed Author Agreement and Publication License Form. The agreement must be signed by all authors and uploaded as a separate file during submission.

For manuscripts initially submitted on or after January 1, 2027, the maximum number of authors is 10, and an Author Contributions statement is mandatory. These requirements do not apply retrospectively to manuscripts initially submitted before that date.

EJPFM does not charge submission fees or article processing charges (APCs).

For complete instructions, please consult the journal's Information for Authors page before starting a submission.
