notes Abstract Guidelines
The abstract serves as the portal window into your paper and is indexed separately by academic databases. It must be structured, concise (150–300 words), and written in the third person. Avoid citations or raw mathematical equations.
Recommended Abstract Layout
Background: Provide a 1-2 sentence introduction stating the context and significance of the scientific question.
Objectives: State the primary hypothesis, objectives, or scope of the investigation.
Methods: Summarize the research design, model systems, experimental setups, sample size, or analytical techniques.
Results: Report the key findings and statistical significance (provide raw data/P-values where applicable).
Conclusions: Explain the scientific implications and potential applications of the findings.
tag Keywords Guidelines
Keywords optimize the indexability of your research. Provide 4 to 8 keywords that reflect the core topic of the research. Choose terms that are common in academic search engines (MeSH terms, IEEE keywords, ACM index keywords) and avoid overly broad terms or sentences.
Discoverability Tip: Do not repeat words already used in the paper's title. Using different index terms in keywords doubles the search query vectors where your paper will display.
insert_photo Figures & Tables Guidelines
High-quality graphics ensure readability. Embed figures and tables in the body of the manuscript near their first citation, and supply high-resolution source files during upload.
Resolution
Minimum 300 DPI for photographs, 600 DPI for graphs, charts, and line art diagrams.
Formats
TIFF, JPEG, EPS, or PDF. Ensure text layers in vector graphics remain editable.
Captions & Labels
Number sequentially (e.g. Figure 1). Include descriptive titles and specify source credits.
library_add Reference Guidelines
All citations in the text must be matched by a corresponding bibliographic record. Authors must guarantee citation accuracy, ensure consistency across the citation style (APA 7th or Harvard), and supply active Digital Object Identifier (DOI) hyperlinks for all online references.

gavel Research Ethics Policies
Researchium is dedicated to preserving the absolute integrity of scientific literature. We strictly adhere to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). violations of these policies will result in immediate rejection, investigation, and warning alerts to institutional boards.
Plagiarism Policy
Every submission is scanned using similarity check systems (iThenticate). Re-using text block-by-block without attribution or exceeding a 15% similarity limit is classified as plagiarism.
Duplicate Submission
Submitting a manuscript simultaneously to more than one journal is unethical. Previously published papers cannot be considered.
Data Fabrication
Manipulating graphs, fabricating datasets, falsifying calculations, or copying imagery to construct results is scientific misconduct.
Authorship Requirements
All listed authors must confirm they made significant design, empirical, or drafting contributions. Guest or ghost authors are prohibited.
Human Subject Research
Studies involving human subjects require ethical approval from an institutional review board and informed consent from all participants.
Animal Research
Experiments involving animals must confirm compliance with local, national, and international guidelines for animal welfare.
smart_toy AI Usage Policy
As generative AI technology matures, Researchium outlines clear rules regarding its use in manuscript preparation and peer review workflows.
warning Responsible AI Usage Framework
Researchium permits the responsible use of AI-assisted technologies (such as grammar check applications, spell checkers, or translation tools) to improve manuscript language and readability. However, authors must understand:
• No Co-Authorship: AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude) cannot be listed as authors. They lack the capacity to take legal responsibility for scientific findings.
• Scientific Responsibility: Authors are fully accountable for all content, including the accuracy of AI-generated literature reviews, references, or data tables.
• Disclosure: If AI was utilized to draft or generate segments of text or figures, its use must be declared in the Acknowledgements section.
• Zero Peer-Review Use: Reviewers are strictly prohibited from uploading submitted manuscripts to AI engines, as this breaches author confidentiality laws.
input Submission Process Flow
