Author Guidelines

Preparing and submitting manuscripts

Eligibility and originality

Submissions must be original, within scope, not under consideration elsewhere and supported by appropriate permissions. Preprint rules must be declared by the journal before launch.

Required files

Provide a title page with author names and affiliations, an anonymised manuscript where double-anonymous review applies, an abstract, keywords, references, tables, figures and supplementary materials as appropriate.

Research disclosures

Include funding, competing interests, ethics approval or exemption, informed consent, data availability, author contributions and use of generative artificial intelligence when relevant.

Manuscript structure

A typical empirical article includes introduction, literature review, methods, results, discussion and conclusion. Alternative disciplinary formats may be permitted subject to editorial approval.

Fees and licensing

The journal must publicly disclose the actual submission fees, article processing charges, waivers and selected copyright licence before accepting manuscripts. No fee guarantees publication or indexing.

Submission channel

Replace this statement with a working manuscript submission portal after editorial testing. Do not collect manuscripts through an unmonitored placeholder form.

Editorial and publisher details must be verified and policies formally approved before accepting submissions. No indexing claim is made.
