☰ The Two Types at a Glance

Type	Length	What it does
★ Original Research Article	12–15 pages	Reports original empirical research using primary or secondary data collected and analysed by the authors themselves.
▤ Systematic Literature Review	15–20 pages	Synthesises evidence from a body of prior studies through a transparent and replicable protocol for searching, screening, and coding.

The word count and page count include the whole manuscript: all sections, tables, figures, and the reference list.

1· Original Research Article

Definition. An article reporting original empirical research with primary or secondary data collected and analysed by the authors themselves. Length: 12–15 pages.

Section	What it must contain
Background	Topic relevance, the research gap, the objective, and the contribution claimed.
Literature Review and Hypotheses Development	Conceptual definitions of each variable, prior findings, the underpinning theory, and each hypothesis with its reasoning.
Research Methodology	Design, population and sample, instruments and measurement, data collection, and the analytical technique.
Results	Findings presented in order, supported by tables and figures, without interpretation.
Discussions	Interpretation of the findings against theory and prior studies, and the novelty of the study.
Conclusions and Recommendations	Answers to the research questions, drawn from the evidence presented. Limitations of the study, together with its theoretical and managerial implications.

2· Systematic Literature Review

Definition. An article synthesising evidence from a body of prior studies through a transparent and replicable protocol for searching, screening, and coding. Length: 15–20 pages.

Section	What it must contain
Background	Relevance of the topic, previous reviews and their limitations, the review gap, and the review questions.
Theoretical Review	The concepts and theoretical lens used to organise and interpret the body of evidence.
Methodology Review	The protocol: databases and search strings, the period covered, inclusion and exclusion criteria, screening, the coding scheme, and quality appraisal.
Findings	The synthesis itself: descriptive profile of the corpus and the thematic or construct-level results.
Discussion and Future Research Agenda	What the synthesis adds, and an explicit agenda of researchable questions arising from it.
Conclusion and Recommendations	Answers to the review questions. Limitations of the protocol and corpus, with theoretical and managerial implications.

⚠ Note. Narrative literature reviews without an explicit, reproducible protocol are not accepted.

3· Requirements Common to All Types

4· Two Files for Every Submission

JMP uses blind peer review, so each type of manuscript has two versions of its template. Both files are uploaded at submission.

⚠ Types Not Accepted

Narrative literature reviews without a systematic, reproducible protocol.
Purely descriptive reports with no theoretical framing or analytical contribution.
Opinion pieces, teaching notes, book reviews, and policy commentary without original analysis.
Student coursework submitted without substantive development into a research article.
Work already published elsewhere, or under review at another journal.

See also the Focus and Scope, the Author Guidelines, the Peer Review Process, and use the appropriate manuscript template. A manuscript submitted in the wrong template, or in a template that does not match its type, is returned to the author at the initial screening stage.
