Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of the journal. Submissions considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before a final decision is made regarding acceptance or rejection.
Before making a submission, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included in the submission, such as photos, documents, and datasets. All authors listed in the submission must consent to being identified as authors. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the country in which the study was conducted.
An editor may desk-reject a submission if it does not meet the minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, authors should ensure that the study design and research argument are properly structured and clearly articulated. The title should be concise, and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper.
