Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The contribution is original and unpublished and is not under evaluation by another journal; otherwise, justification must be provided in “Comments to the Editor.”
• Submission files must be in Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, or RTF, not exceeding 5 MB.
• At submission, authors must provide full names, affiliations, email addresses, and ORCID for all authors. The inclusion or exclusion of authors during or after submission of the article is not permitted. Exceptional cases must comply with COPE guidelines.
• Any identifying information must be removed from the file and from Word Properties, ensuring the journal’s double blind review process.
• All listed authors must have contributed to the work and agree with the journal’s rules, taking responsibility for the content.
• The manuscript must be formatted according to the template, with figures and tables inserted in the text, not at the end, and with continuously numbered lines (“Layout” → “Line Numbers” → “Continuous”).
• The text must follow the style and bibliographic standards described in the “Information for Authors.”
• Authors must confirm that their research aligns with Open Science practices.
• Upon submission, authors authorize publication if the article is accepted.
• For resubmissions of rejected articles, a Letter to the Editor must be included, detailing the changes made, without any identifying information.
