Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

• The journal template must be strictly followed using formatting instructions as shown in (1) MS Word template or (2) Latex template. 
• The author must submit two files of the manuscript. The first has full details about the authors, and the second has no information about the authors.
• Submitting a manuscript indicates that the described work has not been previously published, is not currently under consideration for publication elsewhere, and has received approval for publication from all co-authors, as well as from the responsible authorities at the institute where the work was conducted. The publisher will not assume legal responsibility for any claims for compensation that may arise.
• Papers containing material that has previously appeared elsewhere, such as in conference proceedings, should be explicitly indicated at the time of submission. This information can be provided as a comment to the editor.
• Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
• The text is single-spaced, uses a 10-point font, employs italics rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points rather than at the end.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author's Guidelines.
• The manuscript cannot be withdrawn after receiving notification of the outcome of the first round's reviewing process.
