Frequently Asked Questions

The Singapore Research Journal accepts high-quality scientific papers across all domains of science, technology, and engineering. We welcome both experimental and theoretical research and interdisciplinary studies. You may submit papers under one of the following categories: Mathematics & Computing, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Engineering. If your research does not clearly align with these areas, our editorial team will assist in determining the most appropriate category.

Manuscripts should not exceed eight (8) pages, excluding the title page, 250-word abstract, references, and appendices. All submissions must be formatted in a clear, academic style with properly labeled tables and figures. Citations should follow APA 7th Edition formatting standards. If your research requires additional pages to maintain scientific integrity, you may request an extension and such requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

After submission, papers undergo an initial editorial screening to verify suitability and adherence to formatting guidelines. Authors can expect to receive an update within 1–2 weeks regarding whether their manuscript has been forwarded for peer review. Following review, accepted manuscripts are typically published within 1–2 months, and authors will be notified at each stage of the process.

The Singapore Research Journal publishes four issues annually, aligned with academic terms. Each issue showcases papers from multiple categories: Mathematics & Computing, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering.

Yes, generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly, or image generators) may be used to assist in drafting or editing manuscripts, provided that their usage is explicitly declared in the submission. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and ethical integrity of the final work.

No, there is no age restriction. The journal evaluates all submissions based solely on originality, research impact and scientific communication. We actively support young researchers and will work with first-time authors to refine manuscripts to a publishable standard.

All accepted manuscripts undergo a peer review process by minimally two qualified reviewers in the relevant field. Reviewers assess submissions for originality, technical soundness, clarity, and contribution to existing literature. Reviewer feedback is intended to guide authors in improving research quality and academic writing.

Papers previously presented at conferences, competitions, or hosted on preprint repositories may be submitted. Please disclose any prior dissemination at submission so the editorial office can evaluate eligibility with transparency.

Yes, co-authorship is permitted and encouraged for collaborative research. The corresponding author bears responsibility for communication with the editorial office and for ensuring adherence to publication ethics, including confirming that all authors approve the final manuscript before submission.

Authors retain full copyright of their work under an open-access license, granting the Singapore Research Journal the right to distribute and archive the paper online. This ensures your research remains freely accessible to readers worldwide, with proper attribution required for all citations.

If you need to withdraw your paper after submission, please inform the editorial office by email with a formal request. Withdrawal requests can be honoured at any stage of review, and published papers can be withdrawn on a case-by-case basis.
