Reference Management

Mosharafa encourages authors to use reference management software when preparing manuscripts. The use of reference management tools helps ensure the accuracy, consistency, and completeness of citations and references throughout the manuscript.

Authors may use any widely recognized reference management software, including Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote, RefWorks, or other applications that support citation formatting and bibliography generation.

Manuscripts submitted to Mosharafa must follow the reference and citation style specified in the journal template and author guidelines. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all in-text citations are accurately matched with the corresponding entries in the reference list.

To improve the quality and visibility of scholarly communication, authors are encouraged to:

  • Use recent and relevant references related to the topic of the study.

  • Prioritize primary sources, particularly articles published in reputable peer-reviewed journals.

  • Include Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for references whenever available.

  • Verify the accuracy of all bibliographic information before submission.

  • Ensure that every reference cited in the text appears in the reference list and that all references listed are cited in the manuscript.

The Editorial Team may request authors to revise and correct references that do not comply with the journal’s formatting requirements or academic standards.
