• Please prepare your manuscript per the Journal's

  Manuscript Preparation guidelines

  or use the Microsoft Word template.
• Please check your text for correct scientific English and try to eliminate possible grammatical and/or spelling errors. The journal doesn’t provide proofreading, and any potential language lapses are the sole responsibility of the author(s). Only a standard proof is a part of the post-review process.
• All authors must approve the content of the submitted manuscript and confirm that they have read the Instructions for Authors.
• All references in the article text are cited in the reference list and vice versa.

Submission process

All submitted articles are screened for plagiarism.

All papers are first assessed by the editorial board; accepted papers are then reviewed by at least two independent reviewers in a double-blind review process.

As a part of the submission process, authors are requested to verify their submission's compliance with all items on the Author Guidelines.

After registering, please submit your paper in Word format using the provided Microsoft Word template .

Please suggest the names and institutional e-mail addresses of several potential reviewers. The suggested reviewers should be independent, should have the appropriate expertise in the papers’ topic and must not have the same affiliation as the author(s). Nevertheless, the editor keeps the right to decide whether or not the proposed reviewers are used.

The review process is usually completed within 1-2 months.

After acceptance

Once your article is accepted, it will be sent to Production for typesetting. Shortly afterwards, you will receive two emails. The first will request confirmation of your affiliation. The second email, which includes a link to your article's proofs, will be sent once the typesetting process is complete.

Declaration of conflict of interest

The journal requires all authors to declare any potential conflicts of interest to be included in the article. Please add a "Declaration of Conflict of Interest" section at the end of your article, following the Acknowledgements section.

If there are no conflicts, your statement should say: "The author(s) declare no potential conflicts of interest regarding the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article."
