Submitted manuscripts are reviewed by external experts or members of the editorial board of the Computational Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences. This journal employs a double-blind review process, meaning that the identities of both the reviewers and the authors are concealed from each other throughout the review process.

Submission Checklist
Before submitting your manuscript, please:

• Review the Aims & Scope section to determine if your manuscript aligns with the journal's focus and suitability.
• Prepare your manuscript using the provided LaTeX template.
• Address all relevant aspects, including publication ethics, research ethics, copyright, authorship, figure formatting, data presentation, and reference APA formatting.
• Confirm that all authors have approved the final content of the manuscript and have read the Instructions for Authors.

Types of Publications
The CJMSS accepts manuscripts of any length, as long as they are concise and thorough. Full experimental details must be provided to ensure reproducibility, and authors are required to publish all experimental controls and share full datasets whenever possible. Submissions must be original and not under review elsewhere.

Main Article Types:

1. Article: Original research reporting scientifically sound experiments with significant new information. The structure includes Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and optionally Conclusions.
2. Review: Critical analyses of existing literature, highlighting gaps and offering future research recommendations. These should not include new data and typically include Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Relevant Sections, Discussion, Conclusions, and Future Directions.

Accepted File Formats
Authors are advised to use the LaTeX templates to prepare their manuscripts, as this significantly reduces copy-editing and publication time. The total file size must not exceed 120 MB; for issues, contact the Editorial Office at cjmss@scientificassociation.org or journal.sasar1@gmail.com.

• LaTeX: Submissions should be zipped with all source files and images included, using the CJMSS LaTeX template.
• The journal accepts files in latex format by uploading the compressed zip. file in the "supplementary Files" option in file type (with all information about paper), However, also a file in Word format must be attached that includes the title, full authors information, .., and keywords in "File Type: Manuscript Main File".
• Supplementary Files: Any format is acceptable, but common, non-proprietary formats are recommended.

Note: Templates are strictly for journal submissions and cannot be used for preprint servers or other websites.

Cover Letter
Each manuscript submission must include a concise cover letter explaining the significance of the paper and its relevance to the journal's scope. Reviewer suggestions and exclusions must also be submitted through the system, not in the cover letter. The cover letter must include the following statements:

• The manuscript, or any part of its content, is not under consideration or published elsewhere.
• All authors have approved the manuscript and consent to its submission to CJMSS.

Author Identification

• Full name (Education name) and current position.
• Educational background (institution, degree, and graduation year).
• Work experience.
• Research interests (current and previous).
• Professional memberships and awards.

If the manuscript is accepted, a link to the author’s ORCID profile will be added to the published paper.

Summary of Submission Guidelines

1. Author Affiliation: List current affiliations and the institution where most research was conducted. Independent researchers should indicate this if unaffiliated. Ensure accurate details to avoid attribution or citation issues, as updates may not be allowed post-publication.

2. Manuscript Preparation:

   • Research Manuscripts: Include Title, Author List, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and optional Conclusion.
   • Review Manuscripts: Organized literature review with Title, Author List, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Relevant Sections, and References.
   • Use the provided templates for front/back matter and structured reviews adhering to PRISMA guidelines.

3. Graphical Abstract: Must be unique, high-quality, and attention-grabbing (PNG, JPEG, or TIFF, min size: 560×1100 pixels). Avoid duplication of figures from the main text.

4. Acronyms and Units:

   • Define acronyms/abbreviations upon first use in abstract, main text, and figures/tables.
   • Use SI units; convert other units where possible.

5. Equations and Data:

   • Use Microsoft Equation Editor or MathType for editable equations.
   • Ensure all materials, data, and protocols are available to readers, disclosing any restrictions at submission.

6. Abstract and Keywords:

   • Abstract (max 200 words): Provide background, methods, results, and conclusions in a single paragraph.
   • Keywords (3–10): Should be specific yet relevant to the discipline.

7. Preregistration and Standards: Provide links to preregistered studies and follow SASAR's guidelines for research standards.

Supplementary Materials: List any additional materials published online with the manuscript (e.g., figures, tables, videos, spreadsheets) with clear titles (e.g., "Figure S1: Title").

Author Contributions: Authors must contribute significantly to the work, approve the submitted version, and take responsibility for their contributions. Specify contributions in a short paragraph using the CRediT taxonomy (e.g., "Conceptualization, X.X.; Methodology, X.X.; Software, X.X.; Formal Analysis, X.X.; Investigation, X.X.; Resources, X.X.; Writing – Review & Editing, X.X."). Refer to CRediT for detailed term explanations. Only individuals who contributed substantially should be listed as authors.

Funding: Disclose all funding sources, including grants and publication cost support. Use accurate funder names and grant numbers (e.g., “This research was funded by [Funder Name], grant number [XXX]”). If no funding was received, state: “This research received no external funding.”

Data Availability Statement: Include details about where the data supporting the study can be accessed, with links to publicly archived datasets if applicable. If no data were reported, this statement may be omitted.

Acknowledgments: Mention any additional support not covered under funding or author contributions, such as administrative or technical assistance.

Conflicts of Interest: Declare any potential conflicts of interest or state: "The authors declare no conflict of interest."
