Submissions

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• Before submitting your manuscript, it is crucial to ensure that all guidelines provided by your target journal or institution are meticulously followed. First, double-check the overall formatting and file requirements. Your manuscript should be saved in the preferred file format (typically .docx or .pdf) and adhere strictly to the maximum word count, including references and tables. If the platform operates under a double-blind peer-review system, verify that all author names, affiliations, and identifying information have been completely removed from the main text. Instead, keep this metadata compiled in a separate title page document, alongside any required cover letters or signed copyright agreements.
