Please download our author guidlines to find out more about the requirements of the journal and the journal’s in-house style. All papers will go through an initial pre-submission check to ensure that they contain the minimum required elements to proceed with the submission process. The editorial team may be in touch with authors at this initial stage to complete/confirm any missing elements to the paper.
Furthermore, accepted submissions will undergo rigorous editing and proofing by our qualified and experienced editorial team to ensure that the quality of scientific writing is consistently high across all papers. The editorial team will be in touch directly with authors to clarify any concerns or inconsistencies in the form of numbered ‘author queries’ and will also format the paper.
The editorial team will be the main point of contact for all queries at all stages of submission. They are dedicated to providing quality service to all of our authors and reviewers, and will make their satisfaction their top priority.
Editorial Manager is our peer-review platform where authors can directly submit their paper, along with supporting documents such as (IRB forms, figures and tables), keep up to date with the status of their paper, and access reviewer comments. They can also re-upload their responses to the reviewer, and re-upload the updated version of their paper. The process allows for a seamless and streamlined process, ensuring that all correspondence is kept in one place for ease of the authors, reviewers and editorial team.
Authors will be taken directly to the system and prompted to create an account or log in with a pre-existing account. Once authors are in the system, they will be guided through the submission process. Upon submission, authors will receive a confirmation email with an editorial manager (EM) reference number that can be used to check on the status.
