Submissions

Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum standards of quality.

All articles should be carefully edited and proofread at the submission stage. Manuscripts that have not passed the language check will not be considered for review. The journal uses double-blind peer review of manuscripts. Therefore, manuscripts should be anonymized by the author(s). The front page and information about the author(s) should be submitted in a separate document. All explicit references to yourself should be anonymized.

When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.
