Author Guidelines

Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those deemed suitable will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected.

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 identified in the submission must consent to being identified as authors. Where appropriate, the research must be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the country of the study.

An editor may reject a submission if it does not meet minimum quality standards. Before submitting, make sure that the study design and research argument are properly structured and articulated. The title should be concise and the abstract should be self-contained. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to assess the article. Once you are satisfied that your submission meets this standard, follow the checklist below to prepare your submission.
