Manuscript Guidelines
Once your article is received, it is verified against submission requirements. Your identity and contact details are then removed, and the article is matched to two appropriate reviewers and sent for review.
When reviewer reports are received, you will be notified by email. If your article has been accepted, you will be asked to submit a final copy of your article. If your paper is accepted with revisions, you will be asked to submit a change note with your final submission, explaining how you revised your article in light of the reviewers’s comments.
