All manuscripts must be submitted electronically. Authors should certify that neither the manuscript nor its main contents have already been published or submitted for publication in another journal. We ask for a signed Copyright Release Form to start the evaluation process. After a manuscript has been submitted, it is not possible for authors to be added or removed or for the order of authors to be changed. If authors do so, their submissions will be canceled.
Manuscripts may be rejected without peer review by the editor-in-chief if they do not comply with the instructions to authors or if they are beyond the scope of the journal. All received manuscripts are submitted to iThenticate, a plagiarism-checking system, which compares the content of the manuscript with a vast database of web pages and academic publications. Manuscripts judged to be plagiarized or self-plagiarized, based on the iThenticate report or any other source of information, will not be considered for publication.
One of the authors should submit manuscripts through the online submission system. The submitting (corresponding) author is responsible for the manuscript during the submission and peer review processes. The names of all authors should be entered into the system during the first submission. All authors' names, ORCID numbers, and affiliations should also be indicated on the first page of the submitted manuscript. All submissions should be accompanied by Copyright Release Form containing the names of all authors and signed by the corresponding author.
