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.- Manuscripts must be submitted in document file format (doc, docx, rtf, or odt), following the author guidelines and article template. Please ensure that you use Mendeley to assist with references. A guide to using Mendeley as a reference manager is provided. Failure to comply with the guidelines may result in the rejection of your manuscript.

Please ensure that authors understand and comply with these requirements before proceeding to the next step in the article submission process. Submissions must not have been previously published, nor be under consideration by another journal (or an explanation has been provided in the Comments to the Editor). Articles previously published in conference proceedings must be revised before submission, with at least a 35% difference from the original paper, and must pass our similarity check.
Authors are bound by our Plagiarism Policy; therefore, careful consideration must be taken before submitting an article. In any case where the JOURNAL finds that an article has been published elsewhere and is identical to the one published in the JOURNAL, we will retract the article in accordance with COPE guidelines on article retraction and notify the author. - Authors are strongly discouraged from withdrawing a manuscript once it has entered the publication process (review, copyediting, layout, etc.). At this stage, the JOURNAL has already invested valuable resources as well as time in the process.
- Since the JOURNAL is a peer-reviewed journal, the instructions for ensuring an anonymous peer review must be followed.
- Please enter your WhatsApp number in the comments field to make it easier for the editor to contact you in case there are issues with your email.
