INTRODUCTION
This should clearly state the purpose of the study and identify what issues are going to be addressed. This should contain the background, the gap in literature, research objectives, hypothesis if applicable, and significance of your study.
METHODS
All relevant attributes of the material forming the subject of the research should be provided. Experimental methodology should be concisely and appropriately explained.
Commercially produced materials, devices, software, etc. must be followed by name of manufacturer and location.
Statistical methods should be clearly specified for quantitative analysis.
Manuscripts reporting human studies should include evidence that study was ethically conducted in accordance with Declaration of Helsinki.
This section should include: research design, population and sampling including the exclusion and inclusion criteria, instrumentation, ethical consideration (Ethical Approval or Research Approval from Research Ethics Board or Agency is NEEDED/MANDATORY in all EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS involving living subjects like animal, plants, humans, etc.), data collection, and treatment of data.
RESULTS
This section should succinctly state the results without any lengthy discussion or interpretation of individual data. Data should be presented using tables, illustrations, and graphs. Data in table or illustration form should be referenced in the text, not repeated (e.g. detailed information should not be given in text and tables). Statistical tests should be clearly defined, and statistical significance should be shown in both figures and tables with the help of superscripts such as a, b, c, rather than *, ¶, # or other nonsequential symbols. The discussion should focus on the new and important findings of the study. The observations should be related to other relevant studies in a logical sequence. It should summarize, but not repeat the Results.

FIGURES AND LEGENDS
Photographs must be in color, in focus, free of distracting artifacts and consistent in exposure. Place any required labels or arrows on images prior to uploading. Images must be at least 600 by 450 pixels (proportional height) in size when in landscape orientation with a resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch. Graphs should be approximately 500 pixels wide so that all labelling can be read with data points clearly visible. Substantially larger images must be avoided to prevent file transmission and electronic manuscript processing errors. Radiographs, drawings, and graphs can be in black and white, but color images are preferred. All images are to be placed in numerical order within the main manuscript and accompanied by a legend describing the content of the image.
TABLES
Tables are placed in numerical order within the manuscript. A legend is to accompany all tables and call outs are to be placed in the body of the text to indicate where the table is to be located in the article. The tables function in Microsoft Word is to be used to create data tables rather than using columns of tabbed information.
DISCUSSION
The Discussion should end with a summary of the data and conclusions. The conclusions should be linked with the aims and objectives of the study and should clearly state whether the objective was achieved. Limitations of the study should also be mentioned.
CONCLUSION
In academic writing, a well-crafted conclusion can provide the final word on the value of your analysis, research, or paper.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Acknowledgment of the source of any funding for the research associated with the article should be listed here along with a statement that the research was approved by an appropriate human subject's research committee when appropriate. An additional acknowledgement of support provided by other individuals, organizations, institutions is left to the discretion of the author.
MANUFACTURER NAME (IF ANY)
Provide the name of manufacturer with its complete city and country name of all products used in research.

PUBLICATION PROCESS
Manuscript Submission and Formatting Guidelines
Upon receiving a manuscript, the editorial office acknowledges receipt by sending a confirmation email to the authors. It is crucial for authors to download and follow the layout of the provided sample article, which can be accessed below:
Sample Manuscript in IMRAD Format: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lNKhiLiRNYsYQrkswGBgC9uv6YAuIQE/view?usp=sharing
Any article that does not strictly adhere to this format will be returned to the authors for correction before the formal review begins.
Initial Screening and Double-Blind Peer Review
Articles that meet the required formatting standards will advance to the official review stage. First, an assigned Associate Editor evaluates the manuscript and conducts a plagiarism check. The article is then forwarded to two peer reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. The journal utilizes a double-blind review process, meaning that both the authors and the reviewers remain completely anonymous to one another.
To maintain this anonymity, authors must remove all personal identifying information, such as names and institutional affiliations, from the text prior to submission.
Review Timeline, Decisions, and Revisions
The two peer reviewers are given a period of two weeks to complete their evaluations and submit their recommendations to the Editor-in-Chief (EIC). The possible outcomes for the manuscript include: "Publish without changes", "Accept with minor revisions", or "Accept with major revisions".
Once these evaluations are submitted, the EIC forwards the feedback to the authors for appropriate action. The authors are then given a two-week window to complete the necessary revisions and resubmit the updated manuscript.
Adjudication of Discrepant Reviews (Split Decisions)
In cases where the two reviewers disagree—specifically, if one reviewer recommends rejection while the other suggests acceptance with or without revisions—a third independent peer reviewer will be assigned to evaluate the manuscript. The authors will be informed of this split decision before the journal renders and conveys the final verdict.
Final Editorial Review and Publication Verdict
After the authors submit their revised manuscript, the Associate Editor, the Managing Editor, and the language reviewers are given one week to review the changes. This editorial team verifies that all requested corrections have been made and recommends to the EIC whether the article should be approved for publication or returned for further adjustments.
Once the manuscript reaches the EIC, a final executive review is conducted, and the official publication decision is released within one week.
PUBLICATION FEE
The GET International Research Journal operates under an open-access publishing model, ensuring that all accepted articles are immediately and permanently accessible to the global research community free of charge.
To sustain this model and cover the operational costs of rigorous peer review, editorial management, copyediting, and digital archiving, a Publication Fee of PHP 4,000.00 will be paid by the author upon the formal acceptance of their article in IMRAD format. Authors who hold an active professional membership with the GET International Institute are eligible for a 20% discount, reducing the fee to PHP 3,200.00. Please note that this membership incentive is applied per article; therefore, no additional or cumulative discounts will be granted if an article is co-authored by two or more professional members of the Institute.
Upon receiving the official notification of acceptance, the corresponding author is required to settle the publication fee to initiate the final production process. To facilitate a smooth administrative workflow, authors must provide verifiable proof of transaction by filling out the designated payment details section below.
Once the payment is verified by our finance officer, the article will be officially scheduled for publication in the upcoming issue of the journal.

PLAGIARISM POLICY
The GET International Research Journal maintains an unwavering commitment to academic integrity and the highest standards of scholarly publishing. To ensure originality and ethical research practices, all submitted articles undergo a rigorous screening process; the journal strictly enforces a maximum permissible similarity index of 10%.
During the initial evaluation stage, two anonymous peer reviewers utilize Quetext, a leading plagiarism detection software, to verify the uniqueness of the text and ensure proper citation of existing literature. Any article that exceeds this 10% threshold during the initial check will be automatically flagged for administrative review before it can proceed any further in the editorial workflow.
In cases where an article is found to exceed the 10% similarity limit, the editorial board will immediately halt the evaluation process and notify the corresponding author. The author will be provided with a detailed copy of the Quetext similarity report and given a single opportunity to revise, rephrase, and properly credit the flagged sections within a designated timeframe.
However, if the rewritten article fails to meet the required threshold upon re-screening, or if the initial submission displays extensive, systemic plagiarism, the article will be permanently rejected, and the editorial board reserves the right to impose institutional notification or restrict the authors from future submissions to the journal.
