Compliance with Ethical Standards
The Journal of Nanomagnetism is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research on fundamental and applied aspects of magnetism at the nanoscale. The journal covers interdisciplinary research spanning condensed matter physics, nanophysics, materials science, nanochemistry, nanotechnology, biomedical applications, magnetic nanomaterials, spintronics, electromagnetic materials, and related engineering and life-science applications. Submissions are welcome from researchers worldwide.
JNM publishes the following manuscript categories:
Research Articles: Original reports of significant experimental or theoretical research that have not been previously published or submitted elsewhere and are not under consideration by any other journal.
Review Articles: Comprehensive, critical evaluations of recent developments in a specific field relevant to the journal’s readership. Review articles are normally invited; authors wishing to submit an unsolicited review are strongly encouraged to contact the Editor‑in‑Chief prior to submission.
Letters and Scientific Notes : Concise and timely reports of important scientific findings. Letters serve as rapid communications and therefore must present results of high relevance and impact. Manuscripts submitted as Letters should be accompanied by a brief justification (no more than 200 words) explaining why the work merits rapid publication in this category. If a submitted Letter does not meet the required level of significance, it may be reclassified as a regular Research Article.
Journal of Nanomagnetism is a 100% free-of-charge open-access journal.
There are no submission fees or article processing charges (APCs) for authors, and all published articles are freely accessible to readers.

Title page
Please make sure your title page contains the following information:
The title should be concise and informative.
If the address information is provided with the affiliation(s), it will also be published.
For authors that are (temporarily) unaffiliated, we will only capture their city and country of residence, not their e-mail address, unless specifically requested.
Abstract (150–250 words)
Please ensure your abstract is a single paragraph and contains between 200 and 300 words. In the abstract, in addition to focusing on the most important findings and implications of the research, it is necessary to explicitly link the significance and impact of the material with their practical applications. Also, report the optimized numerical values that you have obtained in your work. Please remove all the abbreviations and notations from the abstract and keywords, if they are not used more than once.
Keywords (4–6 keywords)
Include at least 4 to 6 keywords or phrases in separate lines. In the keywords, please mention the synthesis methods, types and characteristics of the materials examined.
Main Text
Experimental Procedures
The methodology must be clearly stated and described in sufficient detail or with sufficient references. All materials, methods and equipment that have been used in the work must be stated clearly. Please, inform the details from your data collection and how you analyzed your data. Subtitles should be used when necessary.
Results and Discussion
Crystallite size values are often stated to decimal places. The quotation of such size values with decimal places is incorrect. Crystallite sizes should be without any decimals, to the nearest nm.
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
b Just like this one.
Use either SI (MKS) as primary units. English or CGS units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). Avoid combining SI and CGS units. This often leads to confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity that you use in an equation.
Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units. Spell out units when they appear in text.
Equations
Equations should be numbered consecutively. For all equations and formulae, use Microsoft Equation (insert > symbols > Equation) or MathType.
List
Lists can be provided using either numbers or bullets.
Figures must be submitted as EPS, JPG, or TIFF files with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
All figures and tables should be cited sequentially in the text.
Table formatting requires the use of horizontal lines exclusively. These lines should delineate column headers from the table body and serve as borders above and below the entire table.
Ensure tables are embedded within the main text.
Avoid including detailed information in table captions; opt for footnotes instead.
The standard format for tables, figures, and equations is two columns. Exceptions are made for extensive tables, figures, or equations that necessitate spanning both columns; these should be located at the page’s top or bottom.
Tables should be designed to have a uniform style throughout the paper. Table captions should be in 9pt “Times New Roman” Normal, justify multi-line table captions; center single-line captions, and the texts in Table should be set in 9pt “Times New Roman” font.
Figures and texts may appear on the same page, and a caption should appear directly beneath the figure.
It is preferable that figures be mounted in portrait style and figure captions are no longer than two lines.
On figures showing graphs, both axes must be clearly labeled (including units if applicable).
Authors are advised to prepare their figures in either black and white or color. Pictures must be sharp enough otherwise they will be rejected.
Figures must be originals, computer-generated or drafted, and placed within the text area where they are discussed.
Figure captions should be in 9pt “Times New Roman” font, Normal, justify multi-line figure captions; center single-line captions. When applicable, the texts in graphs, illustrations or images should be set in 9pt “Times New Roman” font.
When referring to tables and figures,, do not use brackets or parentheses; for example, "FIGURE 1 shows ..." rather than ‘(FIGURE 1).
Figures must be embedded within the text. Each figure should have a caption including its number and a brief description, which must be self-explanatory without referring to the main text.
For figures or graphs duplicated from other references, please include the citation at the end of the caption.
Conclusions
The Conclusion should provide a clear and focused synthesis of the study’s most important findings. Authors must summarize the key principles and generalizations derived from the results, noting any exceptions, limitations, or unresolved issues. This section should highlight both the theoretical and practical implications of the work, as well as the overall conclusions and recommendations. It may briefly restate the main contributions, outline potential applications of the proposed methods or materials, and suggest directions for future research. The text should remain concise, emphasizing the study’s core message without repeating detailed results.
Authors must include the following sections:
Data/code/material Availability
Data availability statements should describe how readers can access the data supporting the conclusions of the study and clearly outline the reasons why unavailable data cannot be released.
