Abstract: should be factual and precise and less than 100-300 words.  

It needs to briefly cover the aim of your research, the methodologies used and what you concluded.

Avoid including references. If essential, then cite the author and year.

Avoid using uncommon abbreviations. If unavoidable, then define at the first mention in the abstract.

Use any relevant keywords to improve the findability of your paper in online search engines and indexes.

A well-constructed abstract is important as it will attract readers to your paper.


Keywords: approximately 3-5 words or phrases. Keywords are important for online searching.


Address*: position, department, name of institution, full postal address and email address for each author.

Figure and table requirement:

All figures or photographs must be submitted as jpg or tif files with distinct characters and symbols at 500 dpi (dots per inch). Test your figures by printing them from a personal computer. The online version should look relatively similar to the personal-printer copy. Tables and equations should be in an editable rather than image version. Tables must be edited with Word/Excel. Equations must be edited with Equation Editor. Figures, tables and equations should be numbered and cited as Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, etc. in sequence.


References format

All works cited in the text with square brackets must be included in the References section at the end of the article.

Footnotes should be avoided, but any short, succinct notes makin a specific point may be placed in number order following the list of references.

References should be made only to works that are published, accepted for publication (not merely "submitted"), or available through libraries or institutions. Any other source should be qualified by a note regarding availability.

All reference sources must be written in English.


The full reference should include: 

All authors' names and initials

Date of publication

Title of article

Title of publication

Volume and issue number (of a journal)

Page numbers

DOI (Digital Object Identifier), if available.


For websites or internet-based resources, also add accessed day month year (the date you last viewed the article), URL or internet address.

Authors must ensure that any URLs included in references are valid, and should provide a shortened version of the URL if the original is longer than 90 characters.

To shorten, include the main site (domain name) details only. Do not use a link shortener.

e.g. https://www.semanticscholar.org/ instead of https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Analysis-of-oncogenic-signaling-networks-in-ASPM-as-Horvath-Zhang/ad3d83fad8605bddbae8ea7948e54f792eff1b55

More examples of references may be found in sample articles available from all journal homepages.

Please use the Numeric Referencing System which uses numerals in the text with a detailed numerical list at the end of the paper. For example, '...Horvath's [1] research supported the earlier findings of Hert [2] highlighting the probability of the results in this area to be true...'


Translated Works

Difficulty often arises in translating acronyms, so it is best to spell out an acronym in English.

Similarly, labels and suffixes need careful attention where the letters refer to words which have been translated.

The names of mathematical functions may change in translation - check against an English or American mathematical reference text. 

Peer review is the major quality maintenance measure for any academic journal. In this process, experts in the relevant fields analyze the scholarly work from every perspective, including its writing, the accuracy of its technical content, its documentation, and its impact on and significance to the discipline.

Reviewers play a pivotal role in scholarly publishing, and their valuable opinions certify the quality of the article under consideration. Peer review helps to ratify research, establishing a standard for evaluation within research communities.

Aims & Scope

World Journal of Management Science (WMS) Print ISSN: 2959-9628 Online ISSN: 2959-9636 is a scholarly journal that publishes scientific research on the theory and practice of management. The journal includes within its scope all aspects of management related to strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, and organizations as well as all functional areas of business, such as accounting, finance, information systems, marketing, and operations. The journal includes studies on organizational, managerial, group and individual decision making, from both normative and descriptive perspectives. The articles are primarily based on the foundational disciplines of computer science, economics, mathematics, psychology, sociology, and statistics, but cross-functional, multidisciplinary research that reflects the diversity of the management science professions is also encouraged. The journal interest extends to managerial issues in diverse organizational forms, such as for-profit and nonprofit firms, private and public sector institutions, and formal and informal networks of individuals. We welcome theoretical, experimental (field or lab) and empirical contributions. The unifying thread of all WMS articles is an analytical focus on improving the understanding of management. An acceptable manuscript must be relevant to the theory or practice of management, must meet high standards of rigor, and must be of broad interest to the community of management science scholars.
