Submission Process

How to Submit

Manuscripts should be submitted through our online submission system [link to submission portal]. Authors will need to register and log in to create a new submission. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring all co-authors have approved the manuscript and its submission.

Accepted File Formats

  • Microsoft Word: Single file, including all text, tables, and figures.
  • LaTeX: Provide source files and compiled PDF in a ZIP archive.
  • Supplementary files can be in common formats (e.g., Excel, PDF, JPEG).

Free Format Submission

Authors may initially submit manuscripts in any format. However, accepted manuscripts must be revised to comply with our formatting requirements.

Research and Publication Ethics

  • Originality: Submissions must be original work, free of plagiarism.
  • Ethical Approval: Research involving human or animal subjects must adhere to ethical standards. Provide the approval ID and institution in the “Methods” section.
  • Data Availability: Authors must disclose where datasets supporting their results can be accessed.

Peer Review and Editorial Process

Manuscripts undergo rigorous single-blind peer review by at least two independent experts. Authors can expect the following decisions:

  1. Accept.
  2. Minor Revision.
  3. Major Revision.
  4. Reject.

The editorial team reserves the right to reject manuscripts that do not align with the journal’s quality standards.
