Make a Submission
To make a submission to a journal, authors should carefully review the journal's guidelines, which typically outline formatting requirements, word limits, and specific instructions for preparing manuscripts. Submissions often require a cover letter detailing the study's significance and alignment with the journal's scope. Authors must ensure their work is original, properly cited, and free from ethical concerns, such as plagiarism. Many journals use online submission platforms, where authors upload their manuscripts, supplementary materials, and necessary declarations, such as conflict of interest statements. After submission, the journal's editorial team evaluates the paper for suitability, initiating the peer review process if it meets the initial criteria.
