Author Guidelines

All submissions are assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the journal’s aims and scope, and suitable manuscripts proceed to peer review. Before submission, authors must obtain permission for all included materials, ensure all authors consent, and secure ethics approval where appropriate. Submissions that do not meet minimum quality standards may be desk rejected; therefore, the study design and research argument should be well structured, the title concise, and the abstract able to stand on its own before following the submission checklist.

For more details, see the Author Guidelines and Manuscript Writing Guidelines.

  • Originality: Manuscript is original, not previously published, and not under review elsewhere.
