Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word (.doc/.docx) format, following the structure and formatting instructions outlined in our Publication Guidelines page.

There is no strict word limit, but our fee structure is based on page count, with additional charges applying beyond the base number of pages included in the standard fee. Please refer to the Pay Publication Fee page for details.

Review timelines vary depending on subject area and reviewer availability. Authors are updated on their manuscript status via their registered email throughout the process.

Manuscripts may be accepted, accepted with minor corrections, accepted with major corrections, or rejected, based on reviewer and editorial evaluation.

Manuscripts are evaluated by qualified reviewers and editorial board members with relevant subject expertise, following an objective and confidential review process.
