Author Guidelines

Originality and exclusive submission

Manuscripts must be submitted exclusively to the Pakistan Journal of Statistics and Operation Research (PJSOR). By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that it has not been published in full, accepted for publication, or submitted for consideration elsewhere.

A full manuscript may be considered following the publication of a preliminary abstract or presentation at a scientific meeting, provided that the work has not been published in full in conference proceedings or a similar publication. Authors should disclose any such prior dissemination when submitting their manuscript.

Manuscript preparation

  • Formatting: Prepare the manuscript in 10-point Times New Roman, with single spacing throughout, including the reference list. Follow the journal's manuscript template.
  • Abstract and keywords: Include an abstract of no more than 300 words and at least five keywords that accurately reflect the main topics of the manuscript.
  • Length: Manuscripts should normally be 10–15 pages and must not exceed 15 pages.
  • Tables: Use APA-style tables, with clear table numbers, descriptive titles, and explanatory notes where needed. Avoid vertical rules and unnecessary borders.

Citations and references

Use APA style consistently for both in-text citations and the reference list. Every source cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and every reference listed must be cited in the text.

In-text examples: Kotz and Nadarajah (2000); (Yousof et al., 2015); (Smith, 1991a, 1991b).

Reference-list example:

Ahmad, A., Ahmad, S. P., & Ahmed, A. (2014). Transmuted inverse Rayleigh distribution: A generalization of the inverse Rayleigh distribution. Mathematical Theory and Modeling, 4, 90–98.

Include complete bibliographic details for each reference and a DOI in URL format where available.
