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 submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.
  • Anonymization! PLEASE, make sure that the article file is anonymized and does not contain any information identifying the author(s)!

  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word document file format.
  • Tables and figures may be embedded in the text, or sent separately. In this case, the main document must clearly indicate the point where to include them. Figures must include the data sources (in .xls or .jpeg format), and must be also provided in black and white for the printed version.
  • Please provide URLs for the references, when appropriate.
