Submission process description

Manuscripts should be submitted by one of the authors (corresponding author) of the manuscript through the online review system. Only Word (.doc, .docx) files can be submitted, and there is no page limit. Submissions by anyone other than one of the authors will not be accepted. The submitting corresponding author takes responsibility for the manuscript during submission and peer review process and is responsible of all communications with the journal.

The following files need to be submitted with every article:

• Authorship, Contribution and Copyright Agreement
• Declarations form
• Manuscript

The first and second forms are available at the “Submission” section

Terms of submission

Manuscripts must be submitted on the understanding that they have not been published elsewhere and are only being considered by this journal. The submitting corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the article’s publication has been approved by all the other co-authors. It is also the submitting author’s responsibility to ensure that the article has all necessary institutional approvals. Only an acknowledgment from the editorial office officially establishes the date of receipt. Further correspondence and proofs will be sent to the author(s) before publication, unless otherwise indicated. It is a condition of submission that the authors permit editing of the manuscript for readability.
