How to Submit

Contributions to SLRMS must be made in the electronic form only. The author(s) may email their contributions to [email protected] as and when the advertisement of Call for Paper or Call for Blogs is published.

Conditions of Publication

Please note that manuscripts must adhere to the specified guidelines, otherwise, they may be returned or declined. While we strive to provide comprehensive feedback for each submission, the high volume of manuscripts may limit our capacity to do so. It's important to understand that we reserve the right to decline manuscripts without providing detailed feedback. Further more, if a manuscript submitted to SLRMS has been accepted by another journal after being submitted to us, the author is required to withdraw their submission from SLRMS. If SLRMS accepts the manuscript first, the author should withdraw it from consideration at all other journals. Failure to comply with this procedure may result in the exclusion of the submission from further consideration for publication in SLRMS.
