Author Guidelines

Prepare your manuscript using the official AMMR template. Research articles must include the following components, in order:

1. 1Title — descriptive, in sentence case or title case, left-aligned.
2. 2Authors & affiliations — mark affiliations with superscript letters and the corresponding author with an asterisk (*).
3. 3Highlights — 3 to 5 bullet points conveying the core findings and novelty; each highlight is a maximum of 85 characters (including spaces).
4. 4Abstract — a self-contained summary of at most 200–250 words (background, objectives, methods, key results, conclusion); no citations or undefined abbreviations.
5. 5Keywords — a maximum of 6, separated by semicolons; use US English spelling and avoid plurals and overly general terms.
6. 61. Introduction — background, state of the art, and research gap; state the objective clearly in the last paragraph.
7. 72. Materials and Methods — enough detail to allow reproduction; sub-headings (2.1, 2.2) in bold italic sentence case.
8. 83. Results and Discussion — present results clearly and discuss their significance (may be split into separate Results and Discussion sections).
9. 94. Conclusion — a single narrative paragraph (no bullets or numbering) with no citations.
10. 10CRediT authorship contribution statement — using the standard CRediT taxonomy.
11. 11Acknowledgements — placed before the References; name funding agencies with grant/contract numbers.
12. 12References — in Vancouver style (see below).

• Submit in Microsoft Word (.docx) using the official manuscript template.
• Use SI units throughout; define each abbreviation at first use.
• Provide equations with the Equation Editor or MathType (not as images or plain text); number them consecutively in parentheses, right-aligned.
• Italicize mathematical variables in the running text so they match the equations.

AMMR uses the Vancouver style (numeric) for engineering. Cite references in the text with numbers in square brackets — [1] or [1,2] — in order of first appearance. Every in-text citation must appear in the reference list and vice versa.

Use reference-management software (Mendeley, Zotero, or EndNote) set to the Vancouver style. Each reference lists the authors, article title, abbreviated journal name, volume, year (in parentheses), and page range, and includes the DOI where available. Example:

• A.B. Author, C.D. Author, Title of the article, J. Mater. Process. Technol. 12 (2021) 123–130. https://doi.org/10.xxxx/yyyy
• E.F. Author, Title of the Book, second ed., Publisher Name, City, 2020.
• G.H. Author, Title of the conference paper, in: Proc. Int. Conf. Mech. Eng., City, Country, 2022: pp. 45–50.

• Cite every figure and table in the text (e.g., 'as shown in Table 1', 'Figure 1 illustrates…').
• Tables: submitted as editable text (not images); the table title is placed above the table and does not end with a period.
• Figures: the caption is placed below the figure; resolution must be at least 300 DPI for photographs/microstructures (e.g., SEM) and 1000 DPI for line-art graphs.

• The work is original, unpublished, and not under consideration by another journal.
• The manuscript follows the official template and formatting rules above.
• Highlights are included; the abstract is within 200–250 words; there are at most 6 keywords.
• References are in Vancouver style with DOIs where available.
• A CRediT authorship contribution statement is provided.
• Any use of generative AI is disclosed (see the Generative AI Policy).
• All figures and tables are numbered and cited in the text.
