Authors are responsible for reading their manuscripts and hereby affirm that the content of their manuscripts (data including graphs, figures, tables, and illustrations) has not appeared in print elsewhere. Authors are aware that if the content detailed above has been published elsewhere, our Journal cannot accept it. To avoid plagiarism, after the manuscript arrives at the editor’s office, it will be checked by an international plagiarism search software program. If the similarity index is too high the manuscript will be immediately refused.

How long does the review process take?

All new submissions are screened for completeness and adherence to the Guide for Authors. Authors of manuscripts rejected at the initial evaluation stage will normally be informed within 1-2 weeks of receipt. Typically the manuscript will be reviewed within 80 days. If necessary reviewers or Editors may request more than one revision round of a manuscript, and alternative reviewers may also be invited to review the manuscript at any time. After acceptance, it currently takes 1-2 weeks to get a citable, uncorrected draft of the article online. Publication of accepted articles: in the given quarterly issue.
