Koshish Jung Lamichhane
Koshish Jung Lamichhane designed and completed the initial deployment of the IJMR website on 21 May 2026 using the Open Journal Systems platform. His contribution included establishing the journal’s initial website structure, designing the theme colour palette and visual scheme, configuring PDF rendering for published articles, and integrating Digital Object Identifier functionality through Crossref.
The initial deployment established the technical and visual foundation of the IJMR website and enabled the journal to publish and display its content online. The first version had limited responsiveness and presented design and user-experience issues across several pages; these limitations later informed the UI/UX redesign and frontend improvement project completed by the contributor team.
