Manuscript Submission: The Kings and Queens Medical Research Journal (KQMRJ) invites submissions from all areas of medical and clinical research. However, it is essential that the manuscript has not been previously accepted for publication in any other journal or platform. Authors must ensure that their work is original, and if referencing the work of others, appropriate citations and quotations must be provided in accordance with academic standards.
Please submit your paper to editor@kqmucpub.com
Language: All submissions must be written in English.
File Format: Manuscripts must be submitted in MS Word format.
Page Layout: Single-column format is required for submission.
Font Style: Use the "Bookman Old Style" font.
Font Size: Title/Main Heading - 12 points, bold; Body Text - 10 points, regular (except for headings which should also be bold).
Submission Length: Authors should limit their manuscript to a maximum of 15 pages to ensure clarity and to minimize editing time. The document must be submitted as an email attachment. Files exceeding this page limit will not be considered due to submission size constraints.
The submitted manuscript should include the following sections (additional subsections can be added as relevant to the paper's topic):
Abstract: The abstract should succinctly summarize the research problem, methodology, key findings, and conclusion, all in one paragraph. The length should be between 100 and 250 words. It should be written in the past tense, using complete sentences, active voice, and the third person. Avoid using abbreviations, diagrams, or references in the abstract.
Keywords: Authors must provide between 4 to 10 keywords that reflect the key themes of the paper. These keywords should be placed at the end of the abstract. Any non-standard abbreviations should be defined at their first mention. Only standard SI units should be used, and abbreviations such as ATP and DNA need not be expanded.
Introduction: The introduction should present the context of the study, highlighting the significance of the research, and the gap it aims to fill within the medical field. It should provide a concise review of the existing literature and clearly outline the research objectives and hypotheses. The introduction should engage the medical community, using abbreviations where necessary, and relate the study to previous research. Only the most relevant information should be included to support the study's purpose and significance.
Methods and Materials: This section should offer a comprehensive description of the study design, including detailed information on the materials, participants, comparisons, interventions, and the type of analysis conducted. Only novel methods should be explained in detail; previously published methods should be cited, and any modifications to existing procedures should be briefly discussed. Trade names should be capitalized, and the manufacturer’s name and location should be included. This section must allow other researchers to replicate the study, and permission must be obtained for any borrowed, adapted, or modified tables, with credit provided in the footnote. Results and Discussions should be clearly presented with the use of tables and figures to aid in data comprehension. Tables, graphs, and figures should be numbered, titled, and accompanied by explanatory captions. Color images should be of high quality, and any reproduction costs should be communicated with the acceptance letter.
Discussion: The discussion should interpret the results in the context of the current study and other related research in the medical field. The conclusions should be briefly stated at the end of the paper. The Results and Discussion sections may include subheadings and, when appropriate, can be merged to ensure clarity.
Results: Results should be presented clearly and concisely. Findings from the author's own research should be written in the past tense, while previously published findings should be described in the present tense. Results should be reported without referencing the literature. Any discussion or interpretation of the data should be reserved for the discussion section, not the results section.
Acknowledgements (if applicable): This section, placed at the end of the manuscript before the references, is for recognizing individuals who contributed to the research but do not qualify for authorship, as well as acknowledging funding sources, donated resources, or significant assistance received during the research process.
References: (APA Style) Citations for the manuscript should be numbered sequentially as they appear in the text. References should follow this format:
Tables: Tables should be kept to a minimum and designed to be as simple and clear as possible. They must be double-spaced, including headings and footnotes, and numbered sequentially. Each table should have a clear heading and legend and should be self-explanatory. Any experimental methods should preferably be described in the legend rather than in the table itself. Data should not be repeated in both table and graph forms or in the text.
Figures: Legends for figures should be typed separately in numerical order. Graphics should be high resolution, preferably created in GIF, TIFF, JPEG, or PowerPoint formats before insertion into the manuscript. Figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals, and their parts should be labeled with capital letters (e.g., Figure 1). Each legend should include a descriptive title and enough information to understand the figure independently of the manuscript text.
Equations: All equations must be numbered sequentially, and the notations used in the equations should be explained in the abstract or immediately following it. Standard notations and the SI unit system should be used, although adherence to these conventions is encouraged but not mandatory.
Images: Images should not be inserted within tables or surrounded by borders. They can be copied and pasted directly into the required space. Ideally, place images on the last page of the manuscript. Image quality and size should be suitable for clear reproduction.
Copyright: Authors must ensure that their submitted papers do not violate copyright laws to avoid any legal issues. KQMRJ will provide a copyright transfer form upon manuscript acceptance. Authors must sign the form to transfer copyright of the publication to KQMRJ.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction: The terms and conditions will be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which KQMRJ operates. By submitting a paper, authors agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any disputes arising from these terms shall be the courts in the designated location.

Publication does not imply endorsement by the journal. Neither the journal nor any parties involved in the creation, production, or delivery of the KQMRJ, nor the materials within it, assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of the information provided.
