Best practices
- FMJ is written for busy facility management and workplace professionals and is not a peer-reviewed academic journal — use clear, straightforward language. If applicable, references should be cited as end notes and not within the article text.
- FMJ is read around the world, so articles should focus on general concepts and globally applicable best practices.
- Advertorials (articles promoting specific products or services by name) are not accepted.
- Avoid writing in first or second person and do not quote yourself or a co-author.
