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 (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-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 Guidelines.
  • Guidelines for Proposing Potential Reviewers : Authors are requested to recommend a minimum of three prospective reviewers as part of their manuscript submission. It is essential that these suggested reviewers are not affiliated with the same institution as the authors and do not have any existing relationship with them. This is to ensure a fair and unbiased review process. The authors must upload the list of proposed reviewers separately during the submission step.
