Malaysian Journal of Science (MJS) welcomes submission of original articles, review articles, case report and short communications in the field of life & physical sciences. Manuscripts and reviews dealing with engineering and pure computer simulation without any parallel comparison with experimental data are discouraged. 

    2. As MJS is an open access journal, the submitted manuscript need to score low similarity index (SI) by Turnitin screening. The standard SI score for MJS is 15%, hence any submission with SI exceeding 15% will be automatically declined. 

    3. Upon submission, author must nominate minimum two (2) potential reviewers. Kindly submit the nominations list with their name, institutional email address and research interests.

    5. MJS follows a double-blind peer review policy where reviewer will be anonymous to author and vice versa. Thus, author will need to submit the followings:
