For Authors

Submission Guidelines

If you hold a Researcher/Author/Publication or Elite membership, your original research has a home here. Here’s exactly what happens from submission to publication.

The Review Process

  1. 1

    Submission

    Submit your manuscript with title, abstract, keywords, co-authors, and section. Membership at the Researcher/Author/Publication or Elite tier is required to submit.

  2. 2

    Editorial Triage

    An editor reviews the submission for fit and scope, and may desk-reject before peer review if it does not match the journal's aims.

  3. 3

    Peer Review

    Two to three independent reviewers evaluate the manuscript under single-blind review and submit a recommendation: accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject.

  4. 4

    Decision & Revision

    The editor renders a decision based on reviewer feedback. If revisions are requested, authors resubmit; this may repeat across multiple rounds.

  5. 5

    Production

    Accepted manuscripts proceed through copyediting and typesetting. Authors review and approve final proofs.

  6. 6

    Publication

    The manuscript is assigned to an issue and published, with full citation information available for export.

Manuscript Guidelines

  • —Manuscripts should be original, unpublished work not under review elsewhere.
  • —Include a structured abstract of no more than 300 words and 4–6 keywords.
  • —Follow a consistent citation style throughout (APA preferred).
  • —Clearly identify all authors and the corresponding author.
  • —Submit manuscript files in PDF or DOC/DOCX format.
