Submissions

Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to submit their work to this journal. An editor will assess all submissions to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered a good fit will be sent for peer review before deciding whether they will be accepted or rejected.

Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents, and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to being identified as authors. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an ethics committee following the legal requirements of the COPE publication ethics.

An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet minimum quality standards. Before submitting, please ensure the study design and research argument are appropriately structured and articulated. The title should be concise, and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper. When you're satisfied that your submission meets this standard, please follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.
